from now on let's share knowledge I think this is fantastic!
And in this first subject, we'll talk a little bit about ANXIETY, you probably have heard, or read something about, well, let's go?
When this little word sounds in our ears, we already think of something bad, and that much disrupts the life of the human being, does not it? This is not a truth, but in parts.
Anxiety is an emotional state present in every individual, it means that we all have anxiety, to understand better, we need first, to know what that anxiety would then be.
We can say that it is a natural defense, which presents itself as a protection, a state of alert for what is to come, what makes it pathological (abnormal), is when this state paralyzes the individual, and prevents him from following the against.
Let me give you an example that I believe is the best way to clarify. Think of a person before starting a final table in a poker tournament, he may feel a certain anxiety before he starts, the person is in a state of alert for not knowing what can happen, if he will forget how to play, if will have a "heart trick", and this is normal, but when this anxiety is exacerbated and prevents the person from performing this final part of the game, this may be an indication that anxiety is predominating, and if not careful, can be a factor that appears in several areas of life, in several situations, which is characterized as pathological (abnormal) anxiety.
Pathological anxiety, there are various classifications, degrees of impairment and symptoms.
According to WHO (World Health Organization), anxiety triggers symptoms such as: tremors or feeling weak, muscle tension, fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, dizziness, diarrhea, chills, impatience, difficulty in irritability, difficulty in maintaining sleep.
It is important to note that it is very important that if you present some of the symptoms listed above, you do not necessarily have pathological anxiety, it is very important to check the context and the way the symptoms are present, because, as we say, anxiety can or not be pathological, so always look for a reliable professional, who will know how to guide you in the best way.
I want to conclude with a concept of anxiety for Perls, who was a psychotherapist and psychiatrist, who developed Gestalt Therapy, one of the theoretical lines that I identify in psychology:
"Anxiety is a vacuum between now and then. If you are in the now you can not be anxious, because the excitement immediately flows into spontaneous activity. If you are in the now you will be creative, resourceful. If your senses are ready, and your eyes and ears open as in every little child, you'll find the solution to play the best Poker hand of your life. "
