Anxiety is a natural part of the human process. It cannot be fixed, and it cannot be cured; it is actually an alarm system in our brains, trying to protect us from danger. We need anxiety in our lives because it tunes us into our bodies—our natural instincts and our gut intuition are rarely wrong. Listening to our bodies is, unfortunately, a learned behaviour. It is not inherent. Remembering that our body is our natural defence system, which indicates when things are out of balance, can help us when we feel unsafe, unprepared, or ill-advised on how to proceed.
