Anxiety serves a protective purpose, and when it becomes disproportionate, it can hinder daily activities, while too little can expose us to real dangers.
Just like Goldilocks found the right fit, our goal with anxiety is to achieve a balance where our feelings accurately reflect the reality of a situation.
Realistic anxiety is achieved when we learn to distinguish between safety and danger, adjusting our emotional responses accordingly to the context.
Understanding the appropriate levels of anxiety requires learning about the likelihood and severity of feared outcomes in specific situations.
