TheanxietyIt is born from a disproportionate reaction to an event and/or event that we are experiencing. Normally it is a response that does not go according to the situation that generates it.

Sometimes it is due to the fact that we react automatically to situations by learned patterns, which at this moment are no longer adaptive or are not functional to the demand of the situation.

​

Other times it may be due to a lack of decision-making and a loss of control regarding the direction of our lives. 

 

We can also feel this state when we have difficulties prioritizing either  due to a lack of clarity in defining what is relevant in our lives or because the situation itself prompts us to make certain decisions.

​

Anxiety is a magnificent indicator to stop and make an assessment about the direction we are taking. The fact of living automatically often makes these reflections difficult and leads us to enter a spiral from which it is sometimes difficult to get out.
