SLC-S29/W4-Mind & Learn : The Psychology Journey "Phobia Control"

My experience and feelings with Sukhasan Excersice

1. First sitting down – I cross my leg gently, no force on it, just to make sure the both feet rest well on the ground. My back straighten, like I am sitting on a short small stool, but I didn't strain. That first moment already give me a little comfort.

2. Breathing start– I begin to notice my breath. Each inhale do enter deep with peace of mind on my chest, each exhale do carry stress out of my body , and I feel like fresh air was washing me inside.

3. Body awareness– My shoulder which was tight before begin to relax. My hand rest softly on my knee, no tension. My waist and spine was firm but calm.

4. My Mind calm down – Thoughts which have been scattering my mind before begin to fade. I didn't chase them, I was just present seeing my breathing chase them away.

5. Peace spread – Happiness and peace was rising inside me. I feel balance, like my body and spirit agree together on one particular goal. That peace didn't stop when I stand up; it still follows me, and i have surely carried calmness into the rest of my day.

So Sukhasan is not just sitting to cross‑legged. It's a real grounding moment which clear stress, open breath, relax body, and give the mind some gentle rest. I truly feel the real effect on my body and emotions.

My walk with nature started early with sunrise. The sky gave me hope on new beginning for the day. With my phone, I begin to work around our garden inside the nature. First snap was the sunrise, the warm color that lifted my spirit.

As I move, I see a lot of green everywhere – grass, tall trees, and one small shawa shawa tree which still stand fresh. I stop beside it , the leaf was shine under the morning light. Green do calm me and I love green colour so much. I snap a picture beside the tree, like just to share the moment with nature.

Later, I notice one big plantain leaf with water on top. I use my hand to push the leaf, for the water to flush down, and I catch the drop with my camera. That shows how life can flow when there's no blockage. I was happy to took the shoot.👇🏻

I got a break in the afternoon when the sun was too hot. Then Evening and night comes, the sky turn red and purple. I snap the sunset, the mix of colors strong, like blessing to close the day with nature. 👇🏻

Nature shows me that beauty is everywhere, and snapping those moments makes me carry the peace back home. I have peace of mind and full of gratitude to nature.

Arisha

• Mistake: After the elevator accident, she allow fear to control her life which is not healthy. And Later she begin to climb stairs every day even when her health as complain.

• What she suppose to do: She would have meet counselor or therapist early, so the fear won't grow much bigger.Listen to the doctor advice and avoid stairs, look for safe way to manage elevator phobia with professional support.

Her colleagues

• Mistake: They rescue her that day, but after the incident they didn't give her strong follow‑up support. They just leave it for her to handle the trauma alone.

• What they suppose to do: They would have encourage her to seek therapy, check on her regularly, and even help her practice small steps to rebuild confidence with the elevator. Workplace friendship and support is important.

The organization

• Mistake: The elevator accident shows that maintenance wasn't strong enough. After the incident, they didn't provide emotional support arrangement for Arisha.

• What they suppose to do: They would have maintain the elevator very well, install backup light and safety system. After the accident, they would have give Arisha counseling.

The doctor

• Mistake:The doctor forbid her from using stairs, which was correct, but didn't push her enough to face the phobia. Just telling her not to climb the stairs didn't solve the root problem.

• What the doctor suppose to do: The doctor should have explain clearly the danger of ignoring advice, and refer her to mental health specialist.

My overall thought

The big mistake is lack of follow‑up after the accident. Arisha allow fear to control her, colleagues and office didn't give enough support, and doctor didn't guide her fully to therapy. And proper elevator maintenance, emotional counseling, and strong support system to help Arisha balance her health and mind would have been much better.
