Overview • Anxiety is the way your body reacts to stress, and it can manifest physically as well as psychologically. The amygdala, a region of the brain that controls many acute emotional responses, is thought to be the source of worry. • Anxiety is a natural biological response that puts your body on high alert and prepares you to deal with a perceived threat. • It can be harmful to both your mental and physical health if it becomes persistent.
Don’t kill the messenger • Rather than focusing on getting rid of the symptoms, embrace the feelings you're experiencing and the agony your body is experiencing. • Don't think of them as something to get rid of or as something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. • If you continue to kill messengers without receiving the crucial message, the messengers will return, louder and louder, until you accept the message.
Instead of letting your reality lead your imagination, let your imagination lead your reality. • When you're in a stressful position, try to imagine a better conclusion. Consider the following scenario: you're delayed in traffic. You're worried, and you begin to think, I'm going to be late... My supervisor is going to be furious with me... My team will be disappointed... I'm making my patient wait, and they're going to be irritated. • The anxiety you're experiencing stems from your imagination of all of these potential outcomes. Instead of imagining the worst-case scenario, imagine the best-case scenario.
Contd... • Imagining the inverse: “I'll be right on time for work... In a few minutes, the traffic will lessen... Today my supervisor is in a good mood and will be pleased to see me... My crew is really supportive, and they'll know precisely what to do if I don't show up... • My patient is waiting patiently and enjoying watching TV in the waiting room.” These thoughts and visualizations can help to create a feeling of calm and inner peace despite the stressful situation you’re faced with.
Focus on what you REALLY want • This entails getting crystal clear on what you want for yourself and your life, as well as clearing out everything that is “obscuring” your ability to perceive it for yourself. • This also entails letting go of other people's opinions and expectations, as well as how others will perceive you and your decisions. • You can't control how people perceive you, but you can control how you perceive yourself and the acts you do to feel calm, fulfilled, and joyful.
