Anxious – Risinghero

We all know as a fact that anxiety is a mental illness. But to understand how anxiety affects us, we need to delve into the understanding of human nature. As a matter of fact, anxiety plays a large role in all the emotions. It is easy to conclude that anxiety affects how we conceptualize our situations and our circumstances. Anxiety can be frustrating to handle because it makes us restless, stressed, and most of all, disrupt our daily activities. Anxiety also gives us a sense of insecurity that we genuinely do not know how to counter, because it constantly derails our confidence and self-esteem. In many cases, our human nature revolves around our sense of purpose that we believe validates our existence, but when that purpose becomes unclear when the anxiety takes root, and if one gets worried and stressed, that anxiety festers on and on until it starts to affect our entire life.

Thus far, we have only explained the cause of anxiety and the effects it has on our lives and our daily activities. But, now lets flip that and see how anxiety can also help us move further in our goals for the future. The effects of anxiety mentioned above are the long-term manifestations if we allow that anxiety to become ingrained in our core being within our minds. However, in the short-term, it can help one to gain heightened senses where it will help us overcome distractions that constantly derail our progress. Anxiety can also help one to establish a sense of direction when there is a lot of work that needs to be accomplished in a short period of time.

I completely acknowledge and fully understand how anxiety can affect mental well-being, however, we all have some level of anxiety within us, so one must gain wisdom and an understanding that anxiety will be present in some capacity as we go ahead and accomplish whatever goals and dreams we have planned. We cannot let anxiety dictate our course. Even though I understand that anxiety has affected many lives, it does not hold a candle to one’s willpower and inner strength in moving forward, which has the ability to silence one’s anxiety as they progress forward in their lives. So be positive that everything will work out; although it will not show results fast, know that your efforts will never go in vain in your mission to accomplish what you set out to do in life, and know that everything takes time, so take one step at a time to reach your goals.
