Reframing Fear of
COVID-19
~Gwilda Wiyaka ~
One thing all life-threatening diseases have
in common is the fear factor. Be it cancer, AIDS or COVID-19, the moment we are
diagnosed with one of them, the tendency is to go into fear, catastrophize and envision
the grim reaper shadowing our future. We may be able to pull ourselves out of
the terror and deal, but fear dogs us like a stalking beast, ready to take us
down without warning.
Not only is fear unpleasant to deal with,
but it puts us into the survival brain. When in the survival mode of fight or
flight, we don’t have access to higher thought, logic, compassion or
spirituality. Not only is this stressful on the body, it drops our overall
frequency, compromising the immune system. It renders us incapable of making
sound decisions, none of which is conducive to healing.
Is there a way to reframe our concept of life
threatening diseases? Can we find gratitude for the lessons, thus switching us
back into the front brain where logic, grounding and spirituality reside?
