Excitement and anxiety are two different things. Many of us end up in anxiety-producing situations, whether it is a relationship, a situation or just figments in our own minds. We make decisions based on this anxiety, and for many of us, we try to associate it with something that's causing unhappiness. But it’s not always about a specific situation; it can be an internal interpretation of multiple events.

Anxiety usually tells us something is uncertain, or that we lack control. Learn more about how it works, and what you can do to move it out of the driver’s seat so you can make clearer decisions.
