Are you feeling nervous, overwhelmed or like you’re being pulled in too many directions? Do you often experience racing, repetitive and even illogical thoughts? Are persistent worries keeping you from staying present and focused?
Perhaps you’re feeling confused about what you’re meant to be doing in the world. Or maybe past experiences have you fearful of the future and questioning your ability to face the many challenges that life presents you with. You might feel on edge, expecting the worst or be having pervasive, dark thoughts. Perhaps you’re struggling to trust others or even yourself. Do you wish you could let go of worry, feel happier and more connected to others and trust in your ability to handle challenges as they come up?
Anxiety can manifest in a variety of ways. Anxiety symptoms often indicate that we are racing through life too quickly. Persistent thoughts, illogical fears and uncomfortable body sensations are our mind and body’s way of telling us that it’s time to slow down and tune inward.
The problem, however, is that anxiety often makes us feel scattered and disconnected. We can fall into engrained, repetitive thought patterns that cause us to feel stuck and expect the worst. Anxiety can also affect our eating and sleeping patterns, as well as our ability to engage in proper self-care, which makes breaking the cycle of anxiety all the more challenging.
For most of us these days, our lives are filled with pressures and complexities, making the attempt to keep up the intense pace of life overwhelming.
