HOW TO HARNESS THE HEALTHY SIDE OF ANXIETY, FROM A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Let’s be honest: Anxiety sucks. From physical manifestations of feeling ill to
overthinking to a litany of other ways anxiety can present itself, it can be
overwhelming to deal with when navigating new or uncomfortable territory.
Getting to the root of what sets your anxiety off can be extremely beneficial so
you can learn what guiding actions to take. Whether that’s journal or meet with
a therapist, understanding your anxiety gives you an upper hand to managing it.
So how can you harness your anxiety to work for you instead of against you? See
what clinical psychologist Chloe Carmichael has to say about harnessing the
power of your anxiety.

From MindBodyGreen:

Many people lose awareness of the source of their anxiety because of a belief
that anxiety is always bad: This leads them to block out the anxiety, thereby
losing insight regarding its source. You may find that by opening up to the
possibility that your anxiety could have a healthy purpose, it becomes easier to
understand the sources of anxiety in your life and what is the best way to
respond. Of course, some anxiety truly seems to come without a productive
reason, and is best handled by simply redirecting your thoughts, or through
medication or other support from a trained professional—certainly don’t hesitate
to seek help if you feel stuck. The perspectives here are just ideas to
consider, but only you know what’s best for you.


ANXIETY THAT WANTS YOU TO PREPARE FOR CHALLENGES.


EXAMPLE:

You are going to present at a big meeting soon, with all of the senior managers
watching. You’re feeling restless and have racing thoughts. You keep feeling
jolts of anxiety as you sit at your desk, picturing the meeting and wondering
what you’ll say.


ACTION TO TAKE:

Instead of just ruminating with fear that the meeting won’t go well, channel
your nervous energy into making a task list of preparation steps for yourself,
such as creating a presentation outline; practicing your presentation;
visualizing the meeting going well; or even preselecting a friendly ally or two
in the audience who will plan to chime in with a positive remark. Almost any
prep action at all, even if it seems basic, will help ensure a positive outcome
for you—plus it will help calm you down by burning off the extra adrenaline you
may have from anxiety about the big event.


ANXIETY THAT WANTS YOU TO RESTORE OR REFLECT AFTER A BIG CHALLENGE.


EXAMPLE: 

The big meeting is now over. It went very well, and you got lots of compliments,
but you’re still feeling really anxious and keyed up from the pressure of the
presentation. It’s as if your body and mind don’t seem to realize the event is
now over, so they’re still stuck in high gear.


ACTION TO TAKE:

Channel the residual nervous energy from your presentation into planning a
healthy way to mentally and physically settle yourself down, while also
celebrating your success. For example, you might get a massage while listening
to a good audiobook, or go for a run while listening to a playlist of feel-good
songs.

After a big event, we’re sometimes left with a cognitive habit of constantly
thinking about how to prepare—even though preparation has become moot. This can
be very frustrating since we’re basically just spinning our wheels at that
point. At times like this, it can be very helpful to intentionally redirect your
residual nervous energy toward relaxation and restoration.


ANXIETY THAT DOESN’T FIT THE CATEGORIES ABOVE.


EXAMPLE:

If you’re not sure which category your anxiety falls into, or if the steps above
don’t seem to help, that’s actually a very important discovery for you to make.
This insight may be guiding you to explore your anxiety so that you can better
understand how to soothe it.


ACTION TO TAKE:

The first step is to get clarity about the root of your anxiety so that you can
understand what actions it is guiding you to take. The most helpful thing to do
in this situation is often to journal and/or talk with a trusted friend
or therapist to help you reflect and understand your feelings better. Spending
time writing or talking about your anxiety in a nonjudgmental way can help you
get in touch with it and determine what next steps will serve you best.

For example, you might come to discover that you’re anxious because of a
conscious or unconscious belief that you must always be perfect. This type of
anxiety could benefit from healthy steps like actively working on your
self-esteem and learning to override the pressure of perfection. Or perhaps
you’re anxious from a general lack of social support or dissatisfaction with
your job. In those cases, building social connections or finding a new job could
help.

Many people lose awareness of the source of their anxiety because of a belief
that anxiety is always bad: This leads them to block out the anxiety, thereby
losing insight regarding its source. You may find that by opening up to the
possibility that your anxiety could have a healthy purpose, it becomes easier to
understand the sources of anxiety in your life and what is the best way to
respond. Of course, some anxiety truly seems to come without a productive reason
and is best handled by simply redirecting your thoughts or through medication or
other support from a trained professional—certainly don’t hesitate to seek help
if you feel stuck. The perspectives here are just ideas to consider, but only
you know what’s best for you.
