Anxiety is defined as “a state of apprehension” and “distress or uneasiness of mind.”
Every person experiences a form of anxiety on a regular basis. Humans worry about money, jobs, relationships, health, choices, and a slew of others major and minor concerns.
We need some anxiety -- it shows us what we don’t like or what we desire to have more of. For example, if you are married and fighting with your spouse all the time, anxiety is reminding you to work harder on creating a happy and healthy relationship so you will not continue to feel miserable or lose your spouse. Another example: if you desire to have more money or status at work, anxiety can motivate you to put in more effort, time, and focus to reach your goal.
Anxiety can motivate us to change our current circumstances. This is great!
