Turning BAD Anxiety to GOOD Anxiety

Turning BAD Anxiety to GOOD Anxiety

ANXIETY pervades.  ANXIETY prevails.  ANXIETY has taken control of many lives till now.  But neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki tells us that ANXIETY can give us clues how to make our lives better.  BTW, ANXIETY can feel like a heavy weight that we didn't ask to carry.  And who wouldn't love to get rid of it?  And Suzuki tells us it is possible for Turning BAD Anxiety to GOOD Anxiety💊💊💊

Suzuki says that ANXIETY is a natural human emotion, one that evolved to serve a purpose.  We feel anxious when there is some kind of danger.  It primes our body to fight or flee from that danger, hoping that we'll end up much better off.  On the same breadth, our modern anxieties can be a warning signal for things that are wrong.  NOT ENOUGH REST.  TOO MUCH MULTITASKING.  FEELING ISOLATED. 

With all these ANXIETY manifestations, our anxious energy alerts us to change our lives for the better.  Worst thing to happen is IF we simply approach it as something to AVOID?  Or to GET RID of?  Then, we DON'T only fail to solve the problem but actually end up to miss that opportunity to leverage that positive side of our ANXIETY.

Now if we're 'off track' now, how can we be back on track?  First off, we need to TURN DOWN THE VOLUME of ANXIETY so that we can listen to what it has to say. Now, before anything else, let's align on the definition of ANXIETY which is that FEELING of FEAR or worry typically associated with situations of uncertainty.  And there are zillions of examples we can conjure in our real life📌📌📌

And as this KIND of COPING book from Amazon, the emotion of ANXIETY and that underlying stress response that comes when we have ANXIETY, evolved to protect us.  In fact, neuroscientists claim that it is critical for our survival because while in the past, most threats to life were lions and tigers, today we got to figure out the GOOD ANXIETY that comes with a better awareness that ANXIETY is protective and going through all the exercises and using the tools in life for us to take advantage of what ANXIETY originally evolved to do, which is to put into action that will give us a better outcome.  Contrary to the title of this Amazon book, it is NOT enough if we'll claim we're KIND of COPING❗❗❗
