I almost drowned once. It is
a terrifying experience. One gets very used to breathing. I had taught
swimming in summer camp. Passed the Red Cross Life Saving course.
Water-skied 50 miles an hour. Now I found I could not even stand to have the water flow over my face when I took a shower.
So I had two choices. Give in to my fear or fight it.
I
fought it. Stuck my head in a few inches of water in a basin for five
seconds, then ten and finally a minute. I kept working on my private
demon until one day, six month later, I was behind a ski boat with ski
rope in hand. I was filled with panic, not just fear. I skied anyway. I
fell and did not drown. I began to overcome the anxiety.
I
refused to have a love affair with fear that could have become a
permanent downer. Did I completely conquer my fear? No. Was I better off
than if I had given in? Definitely.
----- ------ ---------- A
number of years ago two scientists conducted an experiment with a
sheep. They tied a piece of wire around the leg of a normal sheep in the
midst of other sheep. Then at regular intervals they would send an
electric shock through the wire making the leg twitch. The sheep’s
behavior remained normal. He ate well, slept well, acted quite nicely,
twitching appendage and all. Then the scientists added another factor.
They
began to ring a bell ten seconds before they administered the shock.
Within a very short period of time the sheep began to demonstrate all
the symptoms of severe anxiety neurosis. His eating habits went from bad
to worse. He couldn't sleep. He took to avoiding the other sheep. He
became highly nervous and agitated.
It is
the same with all the people who every day promise themselves it is
going to be a bad day, and then work very hard at making their prophecy
come true.
