Understanding Anxiety
- Imagine you are put on the spot to deliver a speech or to say something of value.
- In such a situation, anxiety manifests both mentally and physically.
- Mentally, it manifests as self-imposed pressure and intense judgment. It arises from a desire for perfectionism, fear of failure, negative self-talk and catastrophizing (expecting the worst possible outcome in any situation).
- Physically, anxiety leads to symptoms like increased heart rate, blushing, sweating, shakiness, and dry mouth.
