Anxiety is common in modern times and almost non-existent in ancient times.
This is something that someone has to say, and there were many anxiety in ancient times, but the concept was not promoted at that time, and there was a problem with the statistical standards of cases, or survivorship bias!
No, anxiety is actually a disease of wealth, in ancient times, productivity was low, everyone was busy with production, and there was little opportunity to be anxious.
Let's start with what anxiety is.
Anxiety is not the same as planning for a rainy day.
Preparing for a rainy day is my consideration for the future, right, I will take precautions before it rains.
So much so that Bian Que said that his eldest brother has the best medical skills, and he can prevent everyone from getting sick.
I just smiled. His eldest brother is a fairy, can there be so many diseases?
It's like saying that I react quickly and obey the traffic rules, and as soon as I go out, I open the perspective three 60 degrees without dead angles, and the lens turns eight times like a spinning top.
Can you guarantee that you will never have a traffic accident for the rest of your life?
This description of his eldest brother is called almighty narcissism.
Of course, omnipotent narcissism is bound to be anxious.
In general, take precautions and pay attention to doing what you can, otherwise you will become a mediocrity.
So, the anxiety crux is here.
Why do you think you're anxious and not normal?
Because you think it's superfluous for you to worry.
Why would you think your worries are unnecessary?
Because based on your past experience and current situation, your subconscious mind thinks that this thing is not something to worry about, but because of what news you see today, it tells you what is terrible about something, and tells you what will happen in the future if you don't fight now.
First, what he said you have not experienced at all, you can't experience it; Second, you don't have the kind of situation he said because of your past experiences.
So your subconscious mind tells you not to believe in this thing.
But you listen to him very reasonably, you force yourself to believe, and instinctively want to avoid such negative consequences in the future.
Then your subconscious mind and your autonomous mind start to pull and negate each other, and anxiety arises.
What did you find? If your conscious mind is worried about what you have experienced in the past, then you will not be anxious because you think it is right.
And once the ** said, the situation is very bad now, everyone must be prepared for danger in times of peace.
In fact, you are not in danger, and the current situation is not so bad, but the example he gave makes you feel credible, and you may become like that in the future, and you start to be anxious at this time.
How to tell if you should be anxious?
Believe in your abilities, improve your ability to withstand pressure, face challenges bravely, and don't run away.
The reason why you are anxious is because you are always trying to escape.
You think you can't accept this situation at that point, so you want to prevent it from happening.
But in reality, once you have an avoidance mentality, then you have to prevent much more than that.
Although on a case-by-case basis, the cost of prevention is much lower than the cost of response.
But if everything is prevented, then the cost of prevention is much higher than the cost of response: because most things don't happen, the cost of response won't be that high.
Let me give you the most obvious example.
Buy insurance. Normal people buy insurance with five insurances, right?
Then buy a little bit according to your own occupation, which is called planning for a rainy day.
What is an anxiety disorder?
Buy all the insurance, as long as I have insurance, I will buy it!
Because I always think about what if this happens to me and I can't solve the financial difficulties by then.
As a result, you find that you spend more money on insurance than you spend on a single thing.
The more you run away from the pressure, the more it must be.
The weaker your problem-solving skills are, the worse your ability to work under pressure, and the more stressed you will be.
This is a disease of wealth, which can also be said to be thinking too much.
Because the poor don't have the opportunity to think so much, if they don't do it, they will starve to death.
But the rich are idle, and when they are idle, they will think a lot.
When you are chased by a beast, will you think about yourself now, do you need to go to the hospital for disinfection and bandaging if you have broken your skin?
The solution to anxiety can be very simple, and it will be enough to understand this sentence.
The future will be handed over to the future self, and problems will be solved.
