Calm people become leaders even when leadership is not their job title. They create an emotional foundation that the rest of the group can stand on. And here is the real win. Calm gives you time. Time to think. Time to choose your response. Time to be intentional instead of reactive.

When someone walks in carrying calm, the whole room shifts. People breathe. They collect themselves. They feel anchored.

The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear
  • "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer."
  • "Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration."
  • "I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me."
  • "And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
  • Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."


Flexibility: Like a reed bending in the wind, one should not be rigid when confronted with fear, but adapt and yield to it.

What therapies and adaptations have you used for your condition?

None really, doubt they can do anything for it. it's not bad and worse at times. especially when i use power equipment that vibrates like chainsaws and weed eaters. also after shooting a bucking handgun on large caliber. Yes i use crutches like pistol rest and even trees. lol It's only my right hand that does it and i can't do nothing left handed. Rifles do not bother it, shotguns with buckshot do after a few rounds. The grip angle makes a difference too.

Have you tried any of these?

Hand nerve damage treatments range from conservative methods like bracing, physical/occupational therapy, and pain relievers to more involved options like steroid injections or surgery (nerve decompression, grafting, or transfer), all aimed at reducing pressure, improving function, and restoring sensation, with the best approach depending on the severity and cause, though recovery can be slow.

Non-Surgical Treatments (Conservative)
  • Rest & Immobilization: Using splints or braces to support the hand and keep the nerve in a proper position, reducing irritation.
  • Physical & Occupational Therapy: Customized exercises to regain strength, flexibility, range of motion, and coordination; therapists also teach ways to perform daily tasks.
  • Medications: Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen) or prescription nerve pain medications (like gabapentin) can help with pain and inflammation.
  • Steroid Injections: Can reduce inflammation and pain around the nerve.
  • Electrical Stimulation: May be used to activate muscles and promote nerve regrowth.
 
The scariest thing that ever happened to me in my life wasn't some scenario from Soldier of Fortune magazine. The scariest day of my life was the morning that my wife walked into our bedroom, woke me up and told me she was having a heart attack. I really thought I was going to lose her. She didn't survive because I was Joe bad***. She survived because we were able to function correctly and I was able to get EMS to my house within 15 minutes and to get her into the Cardiac Care Unit within a half hour. So that's my Macho Man story.

The way to learn to handle stress is to handle stress. There's a reason why the Army spends so much time on stress inoculation training.

There's a reason why they teach you to do everything by the numbers and they have you practice over and over and over again until you can do it in your sleep.

It's been my experience that when you've been trained like that and something goes wrong your brain just goes to the emergency action plan and executes.
