So many myths get spread across social media, news articles, etc around the topic of anxiety. We like to think that anxiety is only a ‘me’ problem and that we are somehow flawed. The biggest myth that still gets pushed today is that anxiety isn’t a ‘real’ or that it isn’t a very common problem, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!
We all experience anxiety in some shape or form. Granted, some of us experience it a lot worse than others. You should never feel like you’re alone in this journey because millions of people also suffer from this phenomenon. Anxiety, to break it down in its purest form, is the feeling that you’re not going to be okay. That ‘nothing’ is okay.
People believe that anxiety has no benefit and therefore needs to be eliminated or ignored. This isn’t the best approach either. When you try to push down your feelings of anxiety and lack of control, unfortunately, the mind finds a way to manifest and worry even more! There is such a thing as ‘the right’ amount of anxiety.
Anxiety is part of the human experience. You are not a flawed person if you experience panic attacks or have your anxiety running away with your imagination. These are real things people go through regularly! It’s just about being mindful and managing your expectations around the event or situation that might be causing an anxiety trigger.
