How to overcome fear of success

Like so many other things in life, you must first be honest with yourself: if you dare to acknowledge it has failed one or all of the goals it has set itself for fear of success, and are encouraged to set aside false excuses, you need to know to overcome this fear is very simple and very much about making commitments.

• The main commitment is to oneself, ie with the well-being and quality of life. Once we commit to our lives, commit themselves targets becomes simple, easy and natural.

• When one commits to a couple of stops to ask whether anyone else would be better than it is next and is dedicated solely to make the pair work. The same happens with projects. On taking a road, do everything we can to make it work and we forget about other possibilities. This, in short, is a compromise.

• It may happen that, in spite of ourselves and put all our effort into achieving certain goal, the roses do not go well or we realize midway that in fact we were wrong. The commitment to the goals does not become inflexible: we can always try something else, but if we put all our efforts are going to really try and learn that we have the inner strength to succeed in whatever.

• An important aspect to overcome obstacles that have been accumulated over time and pausing to torment us in the same place, is to reflect on what we learned about the success and failure, and find new words to talk to ourselves and the world at large.

• It is essential to work on developing the self: this is needed to learn to think positively, not compared with others, the gains to be extended from the smallest to the most ambitious and welcome as ever to deliver - try to speak less and do more, and accept that each person is responsible for their own lives.

Spells against fear - Egyptian Rituals

An exhibition on medicine in ancient Egypt shows that the therapeutic means have changed, but the panic that invades us when the disease attacks us is the same as 5,000 years ago.

Two large granite sculptures, representing female figures with a lion's head, flank the entrance to the room of Musca Metropolitan New York where he opened a few days ago an exhibition on medicine in ancient Egypt. The room is not very big, and general lighting is rather dim.

In other areas of the museum, Egypt is the land of fantastic colossal statues, sarcophagi of the bas-warriors, the mummies. Here is another world more hidden and more modest, the physical suffering of the poor and invented ways to correct a world of human beings identical to us that though almost always die young and have almost no other relief that spells and amulets to fight the disease.

The sculptures of granite head of leo na representing the goddess Sckhmet, which is the divinity of the sudden misfortune, that the attack on his victim as DENTELLE or zarpazo of a lion. One look at their traits hermetic, his serene majesty and menacing, and you can imagine the shapes of fear that are embodied in it: the fear of plague, into the wilderness to wild animals, to the bites of snakes and scorpions that abounded both in the Nile valley, the jaws of crocodiles that would come out of their torpor to curtail the arm or leg of an unwary who are placed in the water.

The protective deities of health have a much more humble scale, as if unconsciously invented and those who wanted to rely on them recognize their very questionable effectiveness: the god Bes, a dwarf panzudo with the big mouth and ears Lion, the goddess Taweret, erect a hippopotamus with large breasts and bellies of pregnant women.

Figures are very small, probably amulets, such as figurines of women nursing a baby. Women and small children were most vulnerable in this remote world that is not the Statue of Cyclopean and massive columns of the temples but the poorly lit rooms of petty in which succeeding the terrors of illness, childbirth and the hare .

A sharp object and crudely carved from flint is a knife with which Corlar the umbilical cord of newborn babies. Nearly 5000 years separate us from the people who knocked these reverential figures, which are hung from the neck or had in their household shrines, but that gap nearly disappears from time to the intuition of a tender in which we can recognize: a small jar with a mouth so peculiar that served it to store the breast milk of a mother, a pair of sandals with soles in the drawing of two scorpions crushed: magically, this prodigiously naturalistic design that would protect the child shim sandals the scorpion stings.

A scorpion and a snake in each hand holds the god Horus child in a trail of black basalt covered with a dense hieroglyphic writing which is a series of attacks against spells of animals and disease: the person injured or sick vertería on water Figure sacred, and drink after the pick, and the water will convey the virtue of healing.

But not all the misery that has brought human beings the goddess inscrutable Sckhmet come from the animals or the frailty of human nature, almost
more afraid than the figures of scorpions or snakes give the Made-tipped bronze ax sharp bronze argued that an Egyptian warrior in a battle for several millennia.

Suddenly become aware of the pain of the flesh-hearted, the infection unstoppable, crack casualty with a broken skull which was beaten by the ax. Unexpectedly sense that these figures of the bas we have seen in so many museums were as human as ourselves. But perhaps the biggest difference there is between them and us is that they usually die much younger, who were unable to address the fear and disease rather than through spells, amulets, plasters and honey herb: the difference is that they continually feel the fragility of life, whereas we fed a sense of invulnerability that has a lot of arrogance.

We hope the antibiotics, not the statuettes of the god Bes, maternity homes and in our simple asepsis is more effective at protecting newborns and their mothers that the hippopotamus goddess Taweret. But when misfortune or illness suddenly burst into our world safer feeling of panic is the same as if miráramos 5,000 years ago and bloody factional unmoved by the goddess Sckhmet.

Dream with snakes

Dream with snakes is synonymous with fear. They appear in nightmares, and they are the animals most recurrent. They are the eternal principle and never ending.

Besides his appearance, elegant and beautiful to some, viscous and repulsive to others, snakes in the field of dreams, representing the male phallus.

If a woman dreams of snakes is unconsciously expressing the fear of an intimate contact with the opposite sex. If the man who dreams, expresses fear that his phallus does not work.

As you can see, the serpent is still in close connection with everything related to sex, not only on their use illustrative, represents the temptation of evil, but also symbolically to explain their appearances in our bedroom. An ambiguous fear among the attraction and rejection.

The fear to the anaesthesia in the surgeries

The fear to the anaesthesia or, to the operation in itself, they are logical and natural, but that you affect it the operative result. The psychological care is indispensable, provided you are about some class of mutilating surgery that the corporal aesthetics affects in ostensible form, or that you alter the life of relationship of the patient. The complexity of the care will depend, in good measure, of the sick person's psychological profile; in certain occasions the surgeon's support or of the anesthesist they will be enough. In more complex cases, the psychiatric query is indispensable.

The anesthesist has clear signs to evaluate the depth of the anaesthesia. The patient will be able to only wake up when you have him to him sedado in the path of an intervention with anaesthesia partially (peridural, spinal, local, etc.), case in which don't have it bigger importance. On the other hand, in the path of a general anesthesia, this is controlled to maintain it in good levels.

The partial anaesthesias have a limited duration that vary according to each case. If you prevé the possibility of a continuation during a peridural anaesthesia, a catheter can be left in the place of the punction and to maintain the analgesia adding new anaesthetic dose. The local anaesthesia can be prolonged in the time infiltrating the surgical area again. In all the cases, on the other hand, the effect can expand using the general anesthesia.

Not we will deny that yes cases exist, where the patient has been with sequels after an anaesthesia. But the cases of this nature are more and more strange. You are to keep in mind the patient's general state, the operation type to you carry out, the type of anaesthesia, the ability of the acting team and the infrastructure of the place where you are operated.

In any way it is necessary to highlight that the current anaesthesias are highly reliable and the complications are possible, but extremely exceptional.

To categorize an intervention like smaller, median or bigger, you are always relative and in any event, you are a problem that should worry more to the surgeon than to the patient. In this categorization they also intervene factors unaware to the importance of the operation in yes (you anesthetize, infrastructure, materials to use, prognoses, and other). Anyway, you are advisable that the surgeon and your team abstain from increasing the fears of the patients with worrying definitions.

We should also highlight that the physician should inform the patient the derivative risks of the operation, when the same ones will take place with surety for the intervention type to carry out or those more probable ones. But to inform of "all the risks" that possibly can appear, you are practically important.

Phobias

The phobias are a class of dysfunction of the character and of the behavior that they are not able to consioderarse authentic madness, but that they limit the normal life of who suffer them. In general, great part of the phobias is considered not very serious dysfunctions, since they don't end up modifying in excess the affected individual's legal capacity, but only your way to live and to feel punctual events: before a snake, will you be able to be paralyzed of terror, but how many reptiles are you possible to see around in our industrialized society? And if one fears to the heights until the point of getting dizzy, with avoiding too high sibirse, everything will be controlled. This way, the existence of a phobia is only detected when your appearance represents a true handicap, a problematic limitation for the quotidian life that accuse that something strange you happen.

What should be very clear from a start is that, the phobia is not more than a way more than expressing the anxiety: some scream, others cry. You are to consider then, this complicated petition like a safety appliance that it can facilitate to the affected one the coexistence with that concrete anguish. Of not being funneled this way, you would overcome the borders of the humanly bearable thing. Thanks to the existence of this feature of urgency, you are derived the anxiety to some very concrete and clearly defined status, but variable manifestation.

The phobic ones that more treatment requests are the agoraphobics, that is to say, auqellos that suffer when they are among the multitude or in open spaces; the claustrophobics, those that suffer in petty or very closed places; and in general who suffer some social concrete phobia, I eat for example to live in collective.

On the other hand, the specific phobias or almost inadvertent simplespasan for the remainder of the humans: who suffer when vé a worm, a spider or simply blood, will hardly fix in your problems, since it can allocate your anguish to an apprehension excess.

As for the why of the appearance of the phobias, the clinical reports suggest that the traumatic tests that cause a strong reaction of anguish mark the start of some phobias. However, in spite of the advances in the field of the neurociencias, we find the dark side of our emotions incomprehensible, especially in case we are caught by them. We react with a terror flare without the córtex knows what you are happening: the wonderful emociñon is activated before the pansy and in a standalone way.

How are you treated this problem? According to the experts, the precedence is to return the trust in itself to the patient who besides the treatment, you need support. This process can last from four months to several years, depending on the graveness of the case and of the elected therapy.

Gay Fears

The Homosexual and the Fear to the Old-age
If you exist a social group that definitively has you panic to the old-age, you are the one that the homosexuals conform. Here the old being deprives from all right to the conquest, of the because, maybe it contains it the hidden secret of the young gay to not wanting to think of that stage of the life that without any doubt will face, but that you will attempt retrazar to all coast, with creams, gym, sports or definitively to disguise her with up-to-date robe.

You are so easy of perceiving that if a place in fashion of "encounters", as discos or bars, you takes of "old", simply gradually he/she dies in the TOP, and you should be paid by the group of pairs that you/they want to be frequented. But the psychoanalytic desire to "steal youth", in fact takes them to visit the places where they can opt to conquer somebody ten or fifteen years minor, like one gives every weekend in the discos and bars gay.

You are understandable this fear, if we consider that those that now are "old", during your youth, they didn't have the opportunity to know others of your condition, for the brutal limitations that decades behind remained in the society, or simply for the fact that even themselves, feeling like they felt, they refused to be recognized in your condition.

For this reason every weekend, can you turn some of these exponents with serious attacks of pathos, offering economic favors to younger homosexuals for sexual services, that that also, you be probably the youngest homosexual's fear, of the future that he/she can wait you if you are not able to find your couple that allow you to be supplemented in the mutual coexistence on time and as many of those youths twenty twenty-five, are from among dedicated to the flirtation when they arrive at the thirty, the crises of self-esteem already begin to the one you turn "single", and "old."

You seem unusual to think that to the thirty years somebody feels already old, but inside the homosexual reality, the thirty are in toto a stage of the life intolerada, inside the youth. Because you stop who live her, if they have been able to be carried out in something that sustain them in your self-esteem, they feel that they still have time, but if they can take off some years, they won't doubt to make it

REPRESSION AND GUILT
The Repression and the Guilt that the human beings suffer in our lives, they have origin in NOT to ACCEPT A REALITY...

In Psychology it is always easier of understanding with examples of the quotidian life and as the topic that interest us to try it is the life gay, let us focus the example in the relationship of a father and your son that it are unbearable, because the father represses and you deny your son's homosexuality who live the guilt and the father's passive aggressions, reflected as disqualifications, jokes and destructive comments that it should face to newspaper, limiting your possibility to live and to be happy.

If we analyze the father's attitude that reject to maintain in your conscious one the pansy and the stereotyped images and conceived pre of desgeneramiento and that for him they mean the homosexuality, incorporated in your psicohistoria (your life), preventing you to open the way to a truly worthy form of to live and to feel, because if you made it you would cause you suffering to see that the expectations that it had generated for him and your son; they won't be completed, (also evidencing certain grade of selfishness) for what use the mechanism of the negation and the repression unconsciously, avoiding this way, according to your vision, suffering.

The son lives the feeling and the sensations of censorship of your unconscious desires and the formations that derive of them; as experiencing the love with another man, or simply, not to be allowed the most important thing in the life: the caresses, physical and intrinsic, as the retinue of which we all need and that you reinforce us the self-esteem, all derivate of believing maybe that the whole family dynamics would be destroyed if they spoke to it conscientiously.

Analyzed, the chicken-and-egg situation is endless, the father will continue knowing, but denying and repressing that your son is homosexual that it feel and you live different to what your parameters of life allow you to accept. You will attack you passively with the typical disqualifications that we describe already, but you will give exit to the rage of your own blame for not knowing if what happen is or you were your responsibility.

The son will live submitted to the attack of the passive aggression, being limited to live, or what are worse, will live in the secrecy, with all the social risks that this bears, causing consequences that would take to the father's psychological mutilation and the son would accuse him for not accepting it. Do you find you exactly?.

"When the heart wants something with all your forces, the whole universe conspires so that reality (Paulo Coelho)" is made. The help of the infinite thing and the professional office maybe could cure the scars of the soul and to allow you to live.

The psychic features are entirely preserved while your application doesn't affect to the topic of the delirium.

The causal core of the paranoia is in the sick person's character previous paranoiac whose fundamental features are the pride, the distrust, the judgment falsehood and your difficulties of adaptation.

The paranoia leaves elaborating throughout many years, being an illness characteristic of the mature age and more frequently still of the age involutiva (climaterio and menopause). The paranoia affects people of half and higher intelligence and your prognosis is bad, due to your submitted to the treatments and mainly to the paranoiac's danger, as soon as your delirious ideas impel to aggression and even to the homicide.
