Overcoming anxiety is possible (thanks to your own personal change).
Anxiety can become a harmful life attitude. How to avoid it?
It has happened to all of us at one time or another. Living with anxiety, not an anxiety related to a stimulus, an experience that scares us, a situation or a person, but to get used to live in this constant state of anxiety. getting used to live in this constant state of anxiety..
Anxiety is an emotional state and also a way of thinking, interpreting, valuing, which has an impact on your physical, psychological and emotional well-being. Is it a condition without solution? Is there no solution beyond drugs? What if we delve deeper into what anxiety really means?
How does anxiety wear us down?
All emotions are useful in their fair and necessary degree, and therefore, they are positive.. Anxiety is often considered a negative emotion, although in reality this way of categorizing it belongs to the psychiatric field. Anxiety, quite simply, is a mode of fear that has become generalized. You have become accustomed to living in fear, as in a constant state of alertness.
Fear is positive if you manage it in a functional way. A functional fear helps you protect your life and the lives of others. Anxiety, on the other hand, as is the case with high stress, has no positive function. Anxiety is having learned to live in fear of everything, in constant worry and anticipation of problems or situations that need not exist.
How is anxiety generated?
First of all, it is important to emphasize that we live in a very complicated time in relation to anxiety. The current pandemic we are living through and the confinement processes have caused psychological and emotional havoc in the population, which has increased the number of cases with anxiety. However, the most worrisome thing is not this, but rather the number of cases of people who are the number of cases of people who are receiving medication for anxiety when it was not strictly necessary (but the problem could be solved). (but that this problem could be solved and prevented by learning to understand and manage that anxiety and fears).
The administration of drugs is a very delicate matter that in the long term can hinder the solution of the problem.
For more than 10 years I have been accompanying people in their personal change processes as a psychologist and coach. Since March 2020, the number of people with extra anxiety and discouragement difficulties has grown alarmingly.. However, the good news is that these people are managing to reverse their situation thanks to their own personal change (more easily in the case of people who do not take drugs, and with more difficulty and slowness in the case of the latter).
For this very special and important case today, I have left you a very special video where we delve into what anxiety is, where you feel it, and above all how to begin to solve this problem forever thanks to your own personal change. Press play!
What to do?
Anxiety is a state of fear that has become generalized, and the biggest mistake we can make is to associate it with sadness, despondency or depression.. The reason why a diagnosis is made according to an "anxious-depressive" picture is because anxiety leads to depression, not because they are the same thing. Treating such a generalization from a pharmacological point of view may be necessary if the case is acute, but dangerous and limiting on the vast majority of occasions.
We get depressed because we get tired of being anxious. And we are anxious because we breathe diaphragmatically, in constant alertness and observation. Learning to breathe, understanding the situations, knowing how to understand where the precipitating emotions of the problem are coming from, how you are managing them, and how you are feeling.How you are managing them, and above all, how you can learn to understand and manage them so that instead of being against you, they are in your favor, is the main way to make anxiety only a passing and unpleasant experience instead of a permanent or frequent state in your life.
If you want to take that step, I make you a very special proposal.
