Anxiety keeps us safe. We all have it.
In healthy doses, anxiety can be helpful. It is what causes us to drive cautiously on winter roads, not walk alone late at night or rehearsing an important presentation.
But for some people anxiety causes more harm than good.
Your mind is in overdrive.
You worry about worst case scenarios and possible "what ifs". You are so focused on the future that you are not living in the moment. You might even start to fell anxious at the thought of feeling anxious in the future.
Your body senses a threat and kicks in to warn and protect you. This is what is happening when you start breathing fast, become, shaky, sweaty, etc.
It can be so exhausting!
Sound familiar?
