It is very normal to feel worried and tense when a person faces a stressful situation. Anxiety has been wired into our genes as the body's natural response to danger, and motivates us to seek solutions to problems.
Anxiety is not a bad thing. It may feel unpleasant, but it will never kill you. In fact, anxiety can help a person by keeping you focused,and spring you into action to solve the problem.
So when does anxiety become bad? In you are constantly worried or tense. If it interferes with work, school or your family. If you realize your fears are irrational, yet you cannot get rid of them. Do you avoid everyday life situations because you feel anxious. Do you ever experience rapid heart beats that come on quite suddenly without any reason. Do you feel that there is danger or a catastrope just waiting for you today.
Some ways to deal with anxiety. Ask yourself, is there a reason for my having this thought now?
If the reason is legitimate, what course of action must you take?
What is the worse thing that could happen to you that is causing you this anxiety? Be honest!
You are in charge of your life.
How can I cope with this anxious feeling I am having? What assets or skills do I have that can help me in this situation? Have I had this situation before? What did I do about it at that time?
Taking control of your anxiety takes practice. There is no easy solution. If you are willing to work at anxiety, you will be able to conquer it.
