How can I break out of negative patterns?Negative thinking is a tragic pattern that many of us fall prey to. Sadly we do it because we've been programmed to do it. One part of it stems from our basic culture of education and discipline which is a system based on punishments rather than rewards. The children who do well and behave are ignored and the kids who cause problems are the ones who get all the attention. We constantly hear 'You're stupid you're bad you're this you're that' and we internalize it.The other part of it comes from the rest of the culture-media politics etc.-that is rooted in and founded upon convincing us that we are lacking something in our lives that they are going to fulfil. This is called marketing. If you already have everything how am I going to sell you something? If you're already satisfied you're not a very good customer especially if what I'm selling is not something you need. I need you to feel that there is something missing in you which my product is going to solve. Either you are too dark or too fair your hair is too straight or too curly you're too fat or too thin you're wearing last year's model of jeans. This is how advertising works...I feel anxiety in many situations. Is anxiety a bad thing?First of all it's important to remember that nothing we experience is bad. The only bad thing is thinking that what we feel is wrong because then we end up separating ourselves from ourselves. We want to be good we want to think and act in good ways so the minute we label something inside of us as 'bad' we've cut ourselves off from it.So when we examine anxiety it is not 'bad' per se. However what does it do? It makes our heart race. When we feel stressed and anxious our heart rate rushes our blood pressure goes up all of our energy literally rushes to the extremities. It's our fight-or-flight response. We are biologically primed and ready in that moment to either fight or flee.That response would be very useful if we were living in a cave and had to protect ourselves from tigers or bears or warring tribes but it's not very helpful in the world we live in. We need that rush of adrenaline to be able to outrun a threat or to climb a tree. But we cannot live in a state of openness and expansion while simultaneously running or fighting. Either the world is something to be afraid of or the world is something to be one with but it can't be both.Every minute that we feel anxiety what our body is telling us on a physiological level is that this situation is dangerous. And that's not a healthy way to live. The question then becomes-how do we stop feeling anxious?Every time you feel anxious ask yourself Is this really a situation where I want to separate myself from the world? And if not then ask yourself how you can expand the way you think of yourself. Ground yourself in your breath. Try to experience a state of oneness with the people around you rather than a sense of separation because where there's oneness there's no fear. Where there's fear you feel separation. Anxiety takes us away from the truth of who we arThe Army major who led the legendary September 2016 surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the LoC; a soldier who killed 11 terrorists in 10 days; a Navy officer who sailed into a treacherous port to rescue hundreds from an exploding war; a bleeding Air Force pilot who found himself flying a jet that had become a screaming fireball . . .Their own accounts or of those who were with them in their final moments.Indias Most Fearless covers fourteen true stories of extraordinary courage and fearlessness providing a glimpse into the kind of heroism our soldiers display in unthinkably hostile conditions and under grave provocation.
