Calmness vs feeling anxious
The feeling of anxiety can only escalate to a certain point if you allow it. Do you know you have the ability to stop the escalation of your anxiety?
Before I had that knowledge and my anxiety would kick in I would dwell on that anxious feeling. I would hate that nervousness feeling, rapid heart rate, shallow breathing, sweaty palms. The more I was in my head about it the more intense the feelings would get, the mental fog, shaking, pacing, dizziness, feeling like I was going to faint.
But I had to learn to be ok with that anxious feeling. The days I would feel anxious, I tell myself,”I’m having a bad moment, this feeling will pass”. And go about what I was doing, I wouldn’t dwell on what was happening. Eventually that feeling of anxiousness would subside. When I practice this, not fearing the anxiety and letting it ride out, that anxious feeling wouldn’t last long. I have the power, anxiety doesn’t have power over me. You can learn it too.
