Your anxiety is not a mistake or a problem. It’s an essential source of foresight, intuition, and energy.
Embracing Anxiety will help you learn how to work brilliantly with this vital emotion
Most of us have been taught to feel ashamed about or afraid of our anxiety, or to treat it as a sign of weakness or trouble. Some people even talk about anxiety as an epidemic, as if it’s a serious disease that’s also contagious.
This is a shame, because anxiety has an important job to do: it helps you look ahead, organize yourself, and gather the energy you need to get things done.
Your anxiety helps you identify problems and opportunities, and it brings you the energy and focus you need to face them. Anxiety also helps you complete your tasks and projects, and it gives you the push you need to meet your deadlines. Yes, you need skills to work well with your anxiety, but your anxiety is a valuable and brilliant emotion that’s essential to pretty much everything you do.
In Embracing Anxiety: How to Access the Genius of This Vital Emotion,
you’ll learn how to work with your anxiety in new and life-affirming ways.
