The Redemption of Anxiety

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.

Staring to Tackle our anxiety itself is overwhelming, with all the solution that we have been instructed to do such as:

Just Stop Thinking

You are thinking A lot

it's fine

you're a freak

People keep throwing these words, because they never experience the hazards of our thoughts to begin with, the nights that we lived in sorrow over our overthinking with many possibilities or the seconds we tend to be hit by simple gestures of sentences that can make our days a repeated hell of thinking.

However, people not capable of seeing that anxious people are superheroes. Anxious people are mostly the one who can predict the future or aware of the danger. They are strong because they are aware and conscious of the possibilities of how bad a situation can get. On the contrary, people are living in a huge denial bubble of the everything that happens around them refusing to infuse the power of possibility of something can go wrong. With all the things that has been happening around us. It's reasonable to be freak or get anxious about our future.

Yet I understand that anxiety sometimes serve no purpose however it's seemed to be a necessity.

Here is some list of things that anxiety can serve other than disturbing our nights and day.

*Attention sign that our confidence and self-esteem is not intact as its should be, so should we focus more on boosting it.

*Attention sign of danger in our financial decision that could end us of being broke, which call for a financial welfare by advising our mind in collecting more data to be better financially stable

*Attention sign that our relationship is not that healthy nor we feel the foundation of it by not feeling safe or that our partner not providing us with sufficient amount of safety, which call for serious talk of priority.

*Attention sign that we are defying our moral guides, which we are wired by the society and environment, hence we are in need to understand these moral guides better or get back to the track of these laws (some rules are not meant to be broken even if we are capable of bending it)

*Attention sign that our lifestyle is not compatible with our capabilities and personalities, hence we need to review our lifestyle and our compatibility with it.

It could be many signs, our goal to figure which sign it's and start to find our redemption that can stop the beeping of thoughts that can disturb our life. Let's control and monitor our signs rather than controlling the possibilities of the situations.

The material that I've read today makes me wonder. I have an anxiety of a repeated event from occurring. This event occurs, and it's abusive. I am expecting the harmful abuse to occur because there is a documented history of it. Therefore, it's it really unjustified anxiety? No. Also, the probability of finding another job soon enough to not experience financial hardship if I quit is very low. So, there is anxiety that it is something I really need to do, but I don't. These things are based on facts and probability. I'm not worried about financial ruin; i am there. I am worried about homelessness because I will be there if I choose to do what I need to do for my mental and physical health.
