Anxiety can be a superpower so it’s important to learn how to manage it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research has found that 40 million people in the U.S. alone<\/a> are dealing with anxiety. We are also at least acquainted with the fear that anxiety is taking over and would prevent us from doing the things we want or need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it helps to learn how to deal with anxiety before our worry exacerbates it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, anxiety serves a powerful purpose in our lives. It brings our attention to what\u2019s most important to us and it can be a useful resource if we know how to harness it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019re all so used to operating on autopilot most of the time, we need the occasional jolt or whisper of motivation, now and then. We simply need some sort of catalyst or push to pay attention. And anxiety most certainly fits this bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do we deal with anxiety symptoms and have them work for us instead of against us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the 3 steps to deal with anxiety without letting worry taking over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Recognize anxiety as a signal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of experiencing the symptoms of anxiety as scary, thinking about it changes it by engaging more of our whole brain<\/a>, which in turn can better direct our response to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we choose <\/em>to view severe anxiety as our body coping, alerting, or signaling opportunities to us, we can see it not as a burden, but as a finely tuned system trying to signal our attention when and where it is needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every firing, anxiety is offering an invitation \u2014 perhaps even a mandate \u2014 to notice and do something different, new, and bold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that if we\u2019re willing to make sense of our anxiety and accept that it is not some accidental misfiring or reptilian relic, we can begin to understand and use it to improve our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than simply worrying about feeling anxious or attempting to push our anxiety away, recognizing our anxiety as a signal allows us to begin transforming it into something useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use anxiety as fuel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to coping with the signs of anxiety, we must continue expanding our view of it. Instead of buying into its reputation as something holding us back, we can recognize anxiety as a type of fuel, something we can understand as motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founder and director of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, David Barlow, calls anxiety “an ambassador of responsibility<\/a>, nudging you into taking care of the things that you need to take care of.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about that for a second: What would life be like and how would we get by without motivation (a.k.a. anxiety)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety can help us along when we want to make a change. It is our body readying for action and nudging us along to do something. It might be something different, something new, or something bold, but it\u2019s definitely urging us toward action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we embark on a new beginning \u2014 a project, a writing assignment, a lifestyle change, or even just returning to the gym \u2014 we have no momentum at the beginning. The start is perhaps the hardest part and energy is never more needed than at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly what coping with anxiety provides \u2014 energy to engage. It\u2019s offering that needed first push to create some needed momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety not only harnesses our attention and focus, but it activates our motivation. We want<\/em> to act and we want to do<\/em> something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our anxiety brain circuitry primes us for action. As anxiety summons our attention, it also activates dopamine to keep <\/em>us motivated to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reward for all this motivation to act is solving the problem to remove the stressor, so anxiety can stand down. Dopamine helps us keep our efforts focused to get this done. This is how our stress\/anxiety becomes fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Take action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Directed and appropriate action is how we can use both the signal and the fuel that anxiety provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s completing a work assignment hanging over our heads, making that nerve-wracking call we\u2019ve been putting off, or finishing the home project we keep meaning to get back to, there is an intrinsic pleasure in taking productive action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like <\/em>feeling the stressor abate, and from a brain perspective, we are motivated to reap that very reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution for the actions to best harness our anxiety. In fact, neuroscience is now confirming what clinicians have long seen in practice: feelings of anxiety are as individual as each of us, and only subside through individualized solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can find our own anxiety relief solutions by first being OK with getting uncomfortable and being willing to actively cope with our anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face it, feel it, and use it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have to tune into it to know how to deal with anxiety in the way that best suits us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proactive coping helps moderate the amygdala response<\/a> and is controlled by the part of our brain that thinks, plans, and directs. In other words, thinking through solutions to our anxious feelings helps our brain tamp down anxiety. The part of our brain that allows us to take appropriate action also dampens the worry we feel about our anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This part of our brain comes online when we choose to face our anxiety to access its message and motivation. When we do this, we can do what makes the most sense for us in our current stressful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actions that can calm our anxiety are widely varied, and considering possible solutions and planning action is an important exercise in taking action, and thus control. So is making a decision to take action. And so is accomplishing a specific task or even creating a to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to progressively take action to resolve the situation your anxiety is bringing to your attention. And when you do, chances are that your anxiety about the situation will decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By knowing how to deal with anxiety with these tools, you can begin using your anxiety to help you instead of being trapped in a worry loop. You may find that when you practice these steps, rather than getting upset when you feel anxious, you actually welcome the issue anxiety is bringing to your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, over time, you may even to choose to think of anxiety as a prickly but supportive friend because of how helpful it can be in supporting you accomplishing what you want and need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
