Anxiety is a helpful and important emotion. Its purpose is to alert us to possible threats and keep us alive, allowing us to function in the world.
However, anxiety often 'misfires' like a malfunctioning alarm, warning us of threats that aren't present, leading to a state of constant unease.
Feeling anxious increases the sensitivity of the alarm, often causing it to inaccurately signal danger, resulting in chronic states of high alertness that are unnecessary.
To recalibrate your anxiety alarm, face fearful situations, practice relaxation exercises, and work on reframing your unhelpful thoughts.
