The Bright Side of Aniety


"You can use your anxiety to your advantage. Anxiety symptoms like butterflies in your stomach and sweating may happen before delivering a speech, singing onstage, or performing on the athletic field. Many people let fear ruin what might have been a good performance. But anxiety is a kind of energy. By just changing your point of view, you can use the energy of anxiety to give your presentation or activity an exciting, dynamic quality." (Giacobello 12)

Most of the time, anxiety is viewed as a bad thing. We let it control or lives and actions, but if we just have a postive outlook, that energy used on anxiety is used on more positive things. Being worried about something (such as a school project about anxiety) could cause you to do a better job (or worse depending on how you use your anxiety energy.)
