Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural response to stress and can serve as a protective mechanism in challenging situations, helping us stay alert and prepared. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, it can have a detrimental impact on our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, overwhelming us with persistent feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness. This heightened state of anxiety can interfere with our ability to function effectively in daily life, affecting our relationships, work, and overall well-being. Instead of motivating us to action, it can lead to avoidance, procrastination, and even physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or panic attacks, trapping us in a cycle of worry and distress that feels difficult to break.
