It is so important to really understand this principle in order to overcome anxiety.
Although anxiety feels horrible — absolutely dreadful at times — the sensations of anxiety aren’t dangerous.
Your fear is real. But the danger that anxiety is telling you is there, isn’t real.
Anxiety symptoms are just sensations — sensations of fear.
They’re a trick. They’re like a false alarm.
We feel these unpleasant sensations and become frightened of them.
So we fear them.
Then we start focusing on them.
And then we fight them, because we’re desperate to make them go away.
But the more we fear them, focus on them and fight them, the more we can keep the alarm system activated — and the more sensations we experience.
So how do we begin to change this?
The first step is understanding what’s happening.
Once we understand this principle, we can begin changing our attitude towards the sensations.
And that’s what we’re going to look at next.
