Anxious thoughts and feelings can be so overwhelming that it can be hard to focus on much else
Not only can our thoughts fill with worst case scenarios, we may feel on edge, have an upset stomach, or even have difficulty breathing. In other words, our mind (our thoughts) and our body (our physical sensations) are intricately linked- the more we think about worst case scenarios, the more our body reacts!
Anxiety comes in many forms and is a response to experiencing more stress than our nervous system can manage. Good stress is short-term and motivates us, focuses our energy, and helps us to act quickly.However, unhealthy stress wears us out, leaves us feeling uneasy, and impacts our emotional and physical well being.
