Anxiety is Practicing Fear in Advance
Fear is a useful emotion that is self-preserving. Our intuition tells us to
be afraid so that we may arm ourselves from harm. When you see a dog
bearing its teeth your fear tells you to stay away.
Anxiety is not fear. Anxiety is preparing for a perceived fear that is most
likely emotional and not environmental. Anxiety never protected anyone
from danger but indeed from doing all the important things that matter in
life such as create, take risk, practice, produce, make good judgments
and connect with people.
Anxiety is practicing failure in advance. It can take such hold of us that if
left untamed it can overtake our ability to be rational. We need to give
“anxiety” something else to do with its energy. Accept anxiety as part of
your passion. Invite it to the table with you. Look at it. Touch it. Smell it.
Taste it. And when you start to hear it whisper inklings of failure in your
ears, offer it a drink as opposed to space in your head. It’s thirsty. Give it
the tallest bottle of top shelf whisky in your virtual pantry and let it salivate
over that. It will do a lot more good sloshing around with Johnnie Walker
than rattling around in your mind and overtaking your confidence. And you
will do a lot more good snatching its energy toward your passion.
You have important things to create. You are remarkable and generous
and have much to give this world in how you connect with the many
people who need your influence. Don’t turn your back on anxiety for it
knows how to get around to your other ear – invite it in and give it
refreshment. It’ll be happy to suck up your old angst. And when your
heart starts to pound and you worries flood back unannounced, just pull
out a chair in your mind and hand it another glass. It must be very thirsty.
You have multiple priorities to juggle and decisions to make as you stay
open to making the world a better place by giving and receiving. As your
“anxiety” sleeps off a stooper in the chambers of the Canadian Mounties,
you’ll have its energy to channel toward your passion for helping others.
Be the person your friends, colleagues, family, company and clients can’t
do without. Don’t be necessary – be crucial. Don’t just be the problem
solver. Be more human and connected. There is no room for anxiety in
that picture. Give it something else to do. Start now!
