Why are hurry and worry are
the trademark of modern
man?
People With hurry slickness think fast. talk
fast. and act fast.

They multitask and rush against the feeling


pressured to get things done and get flustered
by any sign of a problem.

They're everywhere to,


Professor Richard Jolly of
the London Business who
found that 95 percent of the
managers he studied suffer from the condition.
Then you realize that you're late for a meeting. So you
rush
Off, half walking. half running, and grab a seat in the
meeting room. A few minutes later you realize that you're
double booked. so you make your apologies and dash Of
to join conference call. Your day ahead looks just as
hectic. So, while you're on the phone, you reply to emails
marked "urgent."

check your calendar. and reply to several messages.


There's no let up even after you arrive home. You
somehow juggle cooking a meal, putting the kids to bed,
and doing some housework, while preparing for a
presentation that you're giving in the morning. And then.
when you finally get into bed, your mind is still racing,
worrying about all the things you still haven't been able to
get around to and will have to tackle tomorrow.
How far today life is insecure

Emotional insecurity Abraham Maslow described an


insecure person as a person who the world as a threatening
jungle and most human beings as dangerous and selfish;
feels like a rejected and isolated person, anxious and
hostile; is generally pessimistic and unhappy; shows signs
of tension and conflict, tends to turn inward; is troubled by
guilt-feelings, has one or another disturbance of self-
esteem; tends to be neurotic; and 'is generally selfish and
egocentric." He viewed in every insecure person a
continual, never dying, longing for security.

A person who is insecure lacks confidence in his own


value and one or more of he's capabilities, lacks trust in
himself or others, or has fears that a present positive state
temporary, and will let them down and bring about loss or
distress by "going wrong" in the future. This is a common
trait, which only differs in degree between people. This is
not to be confused with humility, which involve
recognizing one's shortcomings
but still maintaining a healthy
dose of self-confidence.
Insecurity is not an objective
evaluation of one's ability but an
emotional interpretation people with the same capabilities
may have entirely different levels of insecurity.
Insecurity may contribute to the development of shyness.
paranoia and social withdrawal. or alternatively it may
encourage such as arrogance,
aggression. or bullying, in some cases.
The fact that the majority of human beings are
emotionally
vulnerable, and have the capacity to be hurt, implies that
emotional insecurity could merely be a difference in
awareness. Insecurity has many effects in a person's life.
There are several levels of it. It nearly always
causes some degree of isolation as a typically
insecure person withdraws from people to
some extent.
The greater the insecurity. the higher the degree of
isolation becomes. Insecurity is often rooted in a person's
years. Like offense and bitterness. it grows in layered
fashion. Often becoming an immobilizing force that sets a
limiting factor in the person's life. Insecurity robs by
degrees: the degree to which it is entrenched equals the
degree of power it has in the person's life. As insecurity
can distressing and feel threatening to the psyche. it can
often accompanied by a controlling personality or
avoidance. As psychological defense mechanisms.
Escapism in Life

Escapism curs when you are trying


to avoid something. it can come in
different forms. Some people by
seeking out alternate activities, such
as sleeping. Some drown themselves
in Some immerse themselves in
addiction, like emotional eating
snorkeling. alcohol or even drugs. Some physically run
away from their homes. may even go as tar as to migrate
to a new place where they can start afresh."
My Escapist Behavior in the Past

When I was in high school, there were many times when I


wasn't prepared far my tests or exams. Instead of studying.
I would be busy playing games, working on my websites
(I was running websites for fun back then), chatting. or
immersing in recreational activities. Basically, anything
but hit the books. It didn't help that I was a restless
student. I hardly payed attention during class.
Studying was boring to me.

When that happened, sometimes I would avoid school


altogether by Illness or coming up with same excuse. By
sitting for the papers, my lack of preparation would be
validated by me not knowing how to answer the questions
and eventually, my exam results. I didn't want that to
happen. I wanted to do well: I wanted to do the best I
could. It was an all or nothing mindset from the
perfectionist me .

Because having results anywhere short of what I


envisioned represented mi things to me. It represented my
irresponsibility toward my studies and life. it represented
how I lacked the leadership and discipline to get my
priorities straight. It represented how I was messing up my
life, my future, and my dreams, and how I was setting
myself up for failure: It represented how I letting myself,
my family, and the people who believed in me down .

In the end, it wasn't the papers that I was trying to avold


that one moment It was me I was trying to avoid myself. I
was trying to avoid tainting my self-image. I was trying to
avoid acknowledging that I was messing up in my studies.
Excellence was (still is) a key value of mine and I didn't
want to acknowledge that I was anything less than my
idealized self-image

The act of doing the papers, having them marked by a


teacher, and finally receiving the grade, were tangible
consequences that would slap the cold, hard truth of my
in)actions in my face. By avoiding taking the papers (and
there were times when I succeeded in doing so), I was
trying to gain breathing space for myself for the exams. I
was trying to avoid that one moment of truth.

However sas just deluding myself. It


didn't matter whether I did the papers
or not The truth was as such:
was irresponsible toward my studies;
I lacked discipline; I wasn't properly managing myself and
my life. By avoiding the issue altogether, I was letting the
issue perpetuate.

The same thing would arise again and again in different


forms, as I observed later on. it was when I started facing
it head on that I finally embraced my value of Excellence.
It was only through accepting, coming clean and taking
responsibility for my actions that I finally moved forward
and made progress.
Dealing With Escapism

Ask yourself: is there anything in your life that you feel


most confronted by anything that you are trying to escape
from?

It is Important to understand that escapism is a kind of


defense mechanism. It occurs as a result of you trying to
protect yourself from something. Specifically, your ego
trying to protect yourself
Conclusion

Excessive worry and anxiety cause imbalances in the


physical body. Finding and re-establishing a balance
between mind, body, and spirit is necessary to correct
those imbalances.
You can start by talking to your primary care provider
Use of medications are often used to treat anxiety and may
be prescribed to assist you in correcting the imbalance.
Daily physical, mental, social, and spiritual exercise is
necessary. Exercise helps remove wastes and strengthen
the functions of each body system.
Physical exercise produces chemicals that strengthen the
immune system which promotes wellness from infection.
Mental exercise, such as reading, has shown to promote
concentration and ability to distract the mind from worry,
obsessiveness, and compulsiveness.
