While navigating life's turbulent waters, anxiety can frequently seem like an incessant, never-ending storm. Our serenity is in danger of being swept away by the tidal waves of anxiety that lap at our inner shoreline. But even in the midst of all this mayhem, St. Teresa of Avila's words of wisdom whisper softly: "Let nothing disturb you, nothing terrify you. Time heals all wounds. God remains constant. Being patient gets you far.
Finding that calm within isn't always easy, especially when anxiety levels are high. Most people keep going, even when they're scared, because they want the storm to pass.
What many fail to recognize, though, is that even when an anxious thought or feeling seems to recede, it is usually only hiding until something new triggers their concern. Deep emotional currents are the ultimate cause of anxiety.
The real price of ignoring anxiety's origins: what is it? A chronic anxiety disorder (CAD) can develop into a crippling condition and affect cognitive skills, according to the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It creeps up on you like a shadow, draining your energy and making you anxious all the time.
The solutions are offered by society. There is a flourishing industry ready to grab your money, with some prescribing medicines and others offering potions. Others place an emphasis on mindfulness activities in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral therapy; this approach is safer and may be less expensive, but it frequently only deals with the symptoms and not the underlying problems.
Dig deep within yourself and find the root of these emotional storms if you want to genuinely overcome anxiety. Mastery of the process calls for intuition, insight, and competence.
Actually, we all have these natural talents; we just need to work on honing them. You may make something beautiful out of your troubling feelings if you learn to dance and play with them. A dazzling, self-assured being radiates.
