Learn to control your anxiety so that it is not the anxiety that controls you.
​
Anxiety can come without anything specific triggering it.
Often you feel that you are walking around in an eternal form of emergency preparedness
or that one is constantly worrying.
- It's incredibly grueling and hard.
​
Anxiety occurs when the brain perceives something or someone as life-threatening.
The body prepares to fight or flee in seconds. You get a proper shot of adrenaline, which ensures that, for example, fat and sugar are released to the muscles so that they can work harder.
At the same time, the body secretes the stress hormone cortisol, which ensures that muscles can work faster (they also heal faster). At the same time, it enables you to cope with more pain at the moment.
​
But you no longer have to provide so much, you "have" nothing to be afraid of ...

On the Savannah, it was helpful to be able to react in a split second, so we could escape and thus survive. But you must no longer flee from saber tigers.

In the situation, it can feel as if you are dying or having a heart attack.
Fortunately, it can help you that no one has died of an anxiety attack. But it certainly does not make your experience less unpleasant and harsh.
