Notice Your Anxiety
- Anxiety comes from thoughts, not from real danger.
- These thoughts are future-based (“what if this happens?”).
- You give attention to those thoughts, which then create the anxious feeling.
Tip - You are not anxious because of real danger-you are anxious because of the thoughts you are choosing to focus on.
Let's take a look at a Variety of Tools we can have FUN with when this occurs or you feel Anxiety sneaking up.
