Fight or Flight


Our bodies have 2 responses when fear has arisen

wired to fight or flight

but what if you can't do either?

you're tired of figthing

but you are too scared of flighting

what do you do?

you focus.

focus on what the fear is

focus on the now 

forget the fear

focus on the NOW
