Love & Anxiety -Part 2

Today we are continuing the new series; Love & Anxiety. Where we focus our attention is the second critical factor in how much anxiety we experience in our daily life. And, if love calms or causes anxiety.

Many people struggle with looping negative thoughts or worrying. On a regular basis the mind is spinning out awful scenarios that usually are not even realistic. When we focus on scary thoughts, our primitive brain regions turn on stress hormones. These hormones cause internal sensations of high anxiety and stress. This causes a chain reaction of feeling more anxiety and this reinforces the negative thought focus.  Rich Hanson’s research found our brain’s have a bias toward negative information. So we must work to focus on the positive aspects of our life.
