Anxiety and Confidence

What happens
right before Christmas? There is excitement, there is trying to make sure you did every thing you were supposed to do for the Holiday. There is trying to get everyone the right present, and trying to make all the food, and whatever your family traditions are. But overall there is anxiety. Now, if you know me well, you know that I like definitions, so let's take a look at what the definition of anxiety is.
Anxiety:1.distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune:2.earnest but tense   desire; eagerness:
Okay, so you are eager for something to happen, but you are still a little scared. You aren't secure in your ability, so you are afraid that you might mess everything up. The trick to getting through anxiety, is not  worry. Now this is easier for some people than others. But it might not be that hard. If you quit being worried about messing something up, or being eager but tense about something, your life will become so much more fun. Contradictory to what some of society tells us, life is supposed to be fun. If you're constantly worried about how this might mess something up, or  being eager about something, you will get worn out so quickly that there will come a point when you have to take a break, and just let it go. 
How does confidence tie into this? Well, the more anxious you are about something, the less confidence you will have in yourself. There is a balance in self-confidence, you want to be confident enough if yourself to know that you are worth something, and there are things you are good at. However, you need to not be so caught up in how good you are at somethings that you don't focus on what you still need to work on. There are many things that can "give" you anxiety, but you have to learn to get around that. Each person has a different trick to get away from anxiety, and boost their confidence, so you'll just have to find what works for you.

This weeks challenge is harder than some of the past. Try to find what helps calm your anxiety, and stay cool. "If plan A doesn't work, just remember there are 26 letters in the alphabet for a reason."

Have a wonderful week!!!
