Overcoming Anxiety
Anxiety can be healthy and normal. It’s a motivator and is our body’s way to remind us we need to pay attention. If we are anxious about something we may try harder to be prepared. Anxiety can be a helpful tool for our success and survival.
But sometimes anxiety stops being helpful and starts to run the show. It becomes so powerful anxious feelings are overvalued and evidence that might contradict worry thoughts is ignored. Naturally, the tendency is to avoid the things that feel unpleasant yet once the avoidance cycle starts anxiety has the upper hand.
Anxiety can be a helpful signal and enhance your life, but it is a problem when it begins to rule decisions. Get help with anxiety so you can stop responding to fears and worries in ways that end up making it worse.
