What is anxiety? when you are anxious you feel fearful and tense. In addition you may also have one or more unpleasant physical symptoms. For example: a fast heart rate, palpitations, feeling sick, shaking (tremor), sweating, dry mouth, chest pain, headaches, fast breathing. The physical symptoms are partly caused by the brain which sends lots of messages down nerves to various parts of the body when we are anxious. The nerve messages tend to make the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body work faster. In addition, you release stress hormones (such as adrenaline) into the bloodstream when you are anxious.
Anxiety, fear, and worry are normal reactions to certain situations, we can’t get rid of them, but we don’t have to be a slave to them either. Emotions are designed to organize us to act, the latin root of ’emotion’ is ‘to move’. There are many ways anxiety shows up in our experience, and anxiety is actually designed to be helpful, to alert us to danger, and motivate action to solve a potential problem. Anxiety exists in our genes today because it was our ancestors who paid attention to the rustling in the bushes, acted on the alarm bells in their brain and ran away from that potential danger, who survived.

The presence of anxiety has been rising significantly over the last decade and is affecting more and more of us every week. The symptoms of anxiety disorder include an inability to get to sleep or stay asleep, difficulty focusing on work or relationships that matter to us, a sense of paralysis that keeps us from taking action in the present because of the fear of what might happen if we do, as well as the physical symptoms of increased heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, and flushing of the skin. Anxiety and depression disorders often operate together in people’s lives.
