A person who never worries about anything is fantastic. It's okay to worry about your dream job interview coming up. Or worry about a child who promised to call and disappeared from the connection. And there is anxiety that destroys your life.

How can you tell them apart?

Anxiety (B) is objective, anxiety (T) we invent for ourselves

• That is: B is to look at the clock and understand that there is an hour and a half left before your flight, and you are stuck in a traffic jam.

• T - this is when you climb the plane in horror, in every air hole you sweat, and instead of a picture of the beach and daiquiri in your head: what if I run into overbooking upon arrival at the hotel, and if a tsunami covers ...

B motivates to solve the problem, T paralyzes the ability to think and act

• B - stuck in a traffic jam, is the flight on fire? Okay, taxied to the next street, the gas pedal to the floor - and you are in time for registration. Or you don't have time and act according to the situation: call back to those who are waiting for you and decide how to get to the place in a different way.

• T - you just roll disturbing thoughts in your brain, and you are just scared.

B situationally, T goes with you through life day and night

• Anxiety is when you catch yourself worrying about and without, you often hear from others “just calm down, don't be nervous”. This condition is exhausting and can harm health.

You need to work with these symptoms - find their cause and regain the ability to perceive the world objectively, from a state of peace of mind.
