Good Anxiety

Anxiety has been taking up a lot of my mind space for a number of months, even years. I remember someone telling me that anxiety isn’t always bad, and can even be good sometimes.

I remember thinking that could never be true, knowing all the stress I felt for exams, anxiety about fitting in and not knowing who I was.

Tonight I am feeling such a different type of anxiety than I usually feel.

At this exact moment I am feeling the same type anxious gitters, but in such a positive light.

I’m sure the majority of my posts won’t be this positive, but I just want to mark that I was at this point.

I am going into a situation with high hopes, (which usually never ends well) and just feel such a good nervousness, anxiety.

Good for you for not being negative! I love the verse, "An anxious heart weighs a man down but kind word makes him joyful. " You can stay positive and have a little anxiety. Moving through it is the best way to cope. When you stay stuck and frozen your mind can run wild. Keep up the positive thoughts!

Anxiety takes up me 24/7. I have learned keeping busy helps it relax a bit. So 8 hours of my day is spent busy either work. Another 8, trying to sleep the best I can and the last 8 are for play time, down time. All of those 8 hours can be challenging especially if triggered with too my anxiety to the point of exhaustion and a state of depression over me. I am just accepting I will sleep the best I can. Keep busy with work the best I can and play, rest, downtime the best I can. I am over chasing my shadow, my illness. Life is what is and your right, anxiety pumps us up and we can go out there and kick some boots (work).
