Why are you so worried about Uncertainty?

Fact!

A strong self-worth comes from your confidence in dealing with life's problems.

Knowing that you know how to live life…

That you know how to experience and move through difficulties.

That you can trust yourself to cope. And you can trust yourself to make the right choices to achieve your aims and move forward.

The more you can do all this, the more your sense of self-worth improves.

However, if you had a difficult upbringing—like having parents who were not supportive, being bullied at school or you had experiences that made you feel different from others—this can leave "gaps" in your ability to handle stress and uncertainty.

These negative experiences make it harder for you to feel secure and confident when facing new or unknown challenges.

For example…

It's sad when your own mind is the greatest enemy to your happiness. And this is the case when it comes to panic attacks

What is a panic attack?

Panic attacks are like a raging storm that comes out of nowhere. It strikes without warning and leaves you helpless against its force. In a matter of seconds, your life can change completely. You can suddenly feel your heart racing, hands shaking, and breathing laboured. If you are lucky, the symptoms will pass within a few minutes. But sometimes, the storm will last longer than that, and you will not know what hit you.

It's important to remember though that panic attacks are not a mental illness, although they can be frightening and debilitating for the patient. Panic attacks can happen to anyone if you are under too much stress for long periods.

Embarrassment phobia is an intense fear of being perceived as incompetent by other people. People who suffer from embarrassment phobia are very uncomfortable in the presence of others and avoid social situations and being evaluated by others. They might also have problems with speaking up and asking for help.

If you're a person with a strong case of embarrassment phobia, you may be anxious when:

- You're in public

- In front of a class, group of friends, or strangers

- Talking to people you don't know

- When others ask you questions

It's important to know that embarrassment is normal. However, if you feel like you can't stand when others look at you, you may have an embarrassment phobia.

Anxiety is a natural physiological response to stressors or negative emotions. However, when it becomes persistent or severe, it can create symptoms that negatively affect a person’s life.

It is important to note that not everyone experiences anxiety in the same way. Some people are able to manage their anxiety effectively

‍

Mini panic attacks are short, sharp anxiety attacks that occur in the moments leading up to falling asleep. Most people have experienced them at least once in their lives.

They often go unnoticed, so you may not even realize you're having a panic attack until you're already in bed, and it's too late to do anything about it.

‍

It’s infuriating…

As soon as you get into bed, and turn the TV off, your mind starts racing, and it becomes very difficult to sleep.

You notice how tired you are and then try to stop thinking about different things, but you have tried all different techniques, like reading before bed, reducing phone activity before bed, and counting but nothing seems to help.

And when you do manage to fall asleep, you wake up many times in the night and your mind will automatically start racing and you can't fall back to sleep.

If you can relate, then you have been a victim of racing thoughts at night.

Racing thoughts are thoughts that keep repeating in your mind until you are unable to fall asleep. It can also have a heavy impact on your ability to concentrate during the day.

‍

Insomnia is a condition in which people experience trouble falling asleep, waking up early, having problems getting back to sleep, and daytime fatigue.

You can tell you are struggling with insomnia if you notice frequent awakenings throughout the night, feel tired in the morning and have trouble concentrating in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, insomnia is often a vicious cycle and often gets worse over time.

Over the course of time, sleep is disrupted, causing increased stress, and this stress causes insomnia.

Over time, the more you try to fix the problem by treating insomnia with sleep aids, the more the cycle continues. It’s an endless loop.

What is Nighttime Anxiety?

Nighttime anxiety is a common condition that ranges from a general feeling of uneasiness to intense panic during the night, often accompanied by trouble sleeping and exhaustion during the day.

These symptoms may come and go but tend to increase in severity during high stress or depression periods.

Here are some common causes of nighttime anxiety and what to do about them...

‍

Anxiety is part of life. But anxiety that becomes cripplingly severe is not.

When anxiety becomes crippling, it robs you of your ability to live your life to the fullest. It keeps you in a state of hyper-vigilance, where you are constantly ‘on edge’ - afraid something terrible will happen.

At this point, it has become a part of your personality… and your entire being. You are no longer living but just existing - going through the motions of daily life - waiting for the ‘end’ that will finally put an end to this nightmare.

In this article, I am going to help you develop a more functional, non-sabotaging approach to dealing with difficult times in your life... so you can experience peace and contentment instead of anxiety and overwhelm.

But first, I start with some context.

‍

So you've managed to make a few new friends...

But every time you go out with them or get online with them, you get overloaded with this insane awkward feeling inside.

Your conversations fizzle out into drawn-out moments of silence...

You can't stop making random weird noises with your mouth as you talk...

And you fear they all notice your weirdness and are now judging you as socially inept and boring.

How can you stop feeling so weird around people and instead become that funny, charismatic person everyone loves being around?

‍

You can't escape it...

The constant worry that you'll stagnate and become meaningless?

You've had this strong need to feel significant all your life?

That's why you worked hard to be ahead at school. That's why you put in so much hours into work...

But despite all that hard work, you're still not where you want to be in life. So now you’re afraid you'll never be successful and have the life you’ve dreamt of. It's like you lack the "x" factor that really successful people have.

This fills you with doubt about your capabilities…  Causing you to question everything in your life including your own worth. Making you feel incredibly hopeless that you're running out of time.

Bottom line...

You hate to feel this way.

You want to be able to handle your weaknesses, insecurities, and issues without feeling bad every day about settling for less or being less!

How can you accept anxiety when it makes you feel so awful?

How can you embrace anxiety when it gives you a headache... tightens your chest and face... Makes your legs go weak and your heart go fluttery?

Isn't it unhealthy to have too much adrenaline rushing around your body all the time?

Can't all that stress cause your body damage?

The questions go through your mind as everyone and their mother keep telling you that you've got to become friends with your anxiety in order to overcome it.

But then no matter how much you tell yourself...

" Common just accept the anxiety.... Common just accept the anxiety..."

In the heat of a highly anxious state, you only remember that you were meant to be accepting anxiety afterwards. Then you go through another cycle of frustration with yourself for not being able to accept the anxiety. This then triggers even more anxiety...

And It just goes on and on like this none stop!

How do you practically accept anxiety when this feels so impossible to do?

Would you like to know?
