Anxiety as a Condition to...

[Guest guest]

I was facing or experiencing my anxiety again and again recently. It seems my

anxiety just seems to keep surfacing, like waves on a beach, some waves bigger

than others, but they do keep crashing in again and again.

Then I thought WHAT IF? What if my anxiety will never go away, it will never be

cured, and in fact it will always be there, it just that maybe i can deal w it

better as time goes by. But it will never be defeated or cured or overcomed. Its

a condition of my history, maybe my upbringing.

And what if? Anxiety is a condition to be lived, and that anxiety signals risk,

that when anxiety comes along, that may mean that i am risking myself some how,

in a way which may bring more vitality to my life. When I risk somehow, that

naturally brings along w it anxiety, but risk and anxiety comes together as

companions so to speak, but risking means you are doing something vital,

something important.

I sense it is a different way of looking at my anxiety, instead of trying to

defeat it or overcome it, as something to do without, maybe i can see it as a

condition of living, which involves some risk, which in turn signals i am moving

along.
