Frightening events and inner anxiety

Recently, there are too many tense events in the world, which monitoring it is normal to feel anxiety about the future, our own and close ones security. Let us not forget that anxiety is a kind of self-protection form and its purpose – to protect the individual from the risk, to warn him about approaching risk, but not make troubles or undermine the essential individual interests. Not managed anxiety in the long term can dramatically reduce the total quality of life.

We all want to live, to enjoy and not to suffer the pain, not to be direct witnesses of frightening events. It is very human. It is natural to be afraid of what might hinder live beautifully long and pain-free, for example, war, disease, and other traumatic events. Mostly we not think about it every day, although there are cases when anxious thoughts in a quietly everyday life begin to rise to the surface. Everything here is good, if after evaluation of the situation we return back to the here and now. Matters get worse when a person fixate himself in an alarming situation of the potential threat.

Most often this occurs because of exaggerated fears for the future, the alleged threats of health or the country and the world, because of a weakened ability to tolerate uncertain situations, psychological exhaustion, and tendency to anxiety. Narrowed thinking, seeing only what reinforces the fear, depression, often even panic attacks and other unpleasant experiences – already is a consequence of above reasons.

Excessively severe anxiety or fear is often a consequence of our irrational thoughts with a strong negative charge. The charge is often so great that literally paralyze our thinking.

Thinking about what might happen we are likely to miss a part of what is happening now. And now, after all, it is going the pleasant things, right? If we observe them we will immediately see that along with them changes also our mood. There is necessary our own effort to restore what irrational thoughts and a strong anxiety usurped.
