What makes you most anxious?
I believe there are different types of anxiety.
If we are talking about psychological anxiety like PTSD my biggest triggers are having a motorcycle fly by me on the highway.
If we are talking about “normal” anxiety my triggers are being repeatedly question about my capabilities. For example, if you asked me “Can you use a screw gun to put up a wooden fence?” and I say yes but then you ask “A screw gun, commercial grade?” Yes. “Do you know how to safely put enough pressure and then let it off so you don’t strip the screw?” YES!!! I said yes at the beginning. That is an umbrella yes! If I didn’t know any part of it I would have said no.
See…just writing it is making me anxious!
What makes me most anxious is uncertainty. The feeling of not knowing what’s going to happen next or not being in control of a situation can be overwhelming. The fear of the unknown can be paralyzing, and I find myself constantly worrying about the future. It’s important for me to remind myself that uncertainty is a natural part of life and that I need to focus on the present moment instead of worrying about what might happen in the future. Practicing mindfulness and taking things one step at a time helps me to manage my anxiety and stay grounded.
