How to Manage the Fear of the Unknown - Terri Cole

We are living through an extraordinary circumstance right now in uncharted territory. There are so many unknowns. We’re not exactly sure how our daily lives will be impacted a month from now…or a year from now. We don’t know what our new normal will look like.

Many of you have written to me about the very real fear that you are experiencing. I’m here to tell you that however you’re feeling right now, it’s OK. We’re in this together and I got you.

Fear is part of the human condition – a hardwiring designed to protect us. From a primal perspective, our beautiful brains associate the unknown with danger and potentially death. Our fight, flight or freeze instinct is an evolutionary response to any perceived threat to our wellbeing. So if you’re feeling scared right now, that’s normal.

That said, there’s a psychological, emotional, and physical cost to walking around in a heightened state of fear. Exhaustion, overwhelm, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, and depression can all be symptoms of your nervous system being on constant high alert. It can even compromise your immune system.

Managing your fear is possible. It starts with understanding it and being able to make a distinction between when you are actually being threatened and when you are just feeling threatened. In this episode, I’m giving you 6 steps you can take to better manage your fear of the unknown.
