Listen to Episode 089:
Unpacking Anxiety
You can imagine that from my many years of managing anxiety, coaching and supporting those through their anxiety that I have a deep understanding of Anxiety.
What I really want to share with you is my perspective of Anxiety and how we can best work with it and move through it.
Definitions online regarding Anxiety sound like this:
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.
People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry.
A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome.
Some words that relate to anxiety: worry, concern, apprehension, consternation, uneasiness, fearfulness disquiet, fretfulness, agitation, angst, nervousness, edgy, tension, tense, stressed, foreboding, trepidation, suspense,
Opposition to anxiety is seen as calmness, serenity, peace, acceptance.
I can't remember where I read this but I recall that in many Ancient cultures, tribal communities, the sensitive or anxious ones were often seen as those with the strongest spiritual connection, insight and wisdom. And often served to guide, fore-warn or provide security to the community through their intuition, guidance and inner knowing.
In my years of working with anxious people, I often find that these people tend to also have a very high empathic quality. Highly tuned in, Clair-sentience is dialled up and they often FEEL so much more across the spectrum of emotions.
Now, presently and throughout the last 18 months where we have been thrown into a very uncertain, unstable experience. So I am seeing anxiety present in people that previously have never felt anxious, uncertain or insecure in anyway.
This is a given - so many people are, for the first time ever, experiencing a sense of oppression, control and external force. Even if they are still relatively safe, healthy, blessed (let's not gaslight ok) they are allowed to feel anxious and overwhelmed.
Trauma = when something is too much, happens too fast, or unfolds too soon without preparation or an ability to brace for the worst.
That's what so many of us are going through.
But Anxiety shows up in our everyday in small ways.
I'd like to share with you two examples with you - two examples that show different experiences of anxiety and how to unpack it.
In this episode I discuss:
+ How anxiety is a future tripping experience
+ How anxiety is often an indication of sensitivity and emotional attunement.
+ The different ways anxiety shows up
+ The ways we can unpack anxiety
+ Leaning in towards anxiety, looking beneath it and seeing what gift it has
+ Reflecting on anxiety as a superpower and the power in responding to its message
+ Two examples of anxious moments.
