Which are your favorite anxiety quotes?

Anxiety is a normal experience.

With all the challenges and events that characterize life, we are all bound to experience anxiety at some point.

You’ve probably noticed that some people don’t worry as much as you do.

This leads many people to think that the other person is stronger than they are.

The truth is that the other person just thinks differently.

We’re not referring to intelligence or education. It’s not about that. It’s something much simpler and more accessible.

Almost everyone who thinks about the possibility of something bad happening and then focuses on it will begin to feel anxious.

Anxious people often construct elaborate scenarios in their minds about the problems that would happen if the bad thing occurs.

But, because we’re not actually in the situation, we can’t fix the problem.

Researchers quantify anxiety as “excessive anticipatory responding under conditions of threat uncertainty.”

In plain English, you’re trying to solve a problem before it exists.

An adjustment in the way you think can ease anxiety.

Instead of trying to solve a problem that does not yet exist, focus on the skills you will bring with you to the future.

If you perceive yourself as lacking the skills you’ll need, work on developing them so you feel more prepared for the future.

Asking yourself what you can do now helps you focus on things you can control.

Anxiety can also be beneficial.

It can bring you the motivation to accomplish your goals and it can help you identify potential threats and hardships.

Hopefully, these anxiety quotes have helped calm your mind and given you the courage to deal with your anxiety and fears.
