Here we are!

Hello NATIONAL TODAY..
FACE YOUR FEARS DAY..
National Face Your Fears Day is celebrated on the second Tuesday of October every year so that puts it on October 14 this year.
Today is an opportunity to step out and overcome things that are holding you back.
Fear is “an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm”. Fear is one emotion that is universal, experienced by all classes of people, be they old or young, poor or rich, educated or illiterate.
According to scientists, fear is purely physical. When a person is confronted by a stimulus or the subject of fear, a physical reaction occurs in the brain. The part of the brain called the amygdala immediately goes to work and alerts the nervous system of a possible threat. In response, stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline are released, preparing the body for fight or flight.
This response prepares the body to either stay and confront the situation or run to safety. The blood pressure goes up, the heart rate increases, and the palms get sweaty. All these are signs that the body is experiencing and processing the emotion of fear.
The fear response is involuntary, it happens without conscious thought.
