“Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

​

We all get anxious from time to time, it's the bodies way of keeping us careful and alert in anticipation of an event that we feel unsure or pressured about. Feeling this way is perfectly normal to an extent. However, people that struggle to control their anxiety can suffer from panic attacks, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder. Constant anxiety can lead to other illnesses as the body fails to get the time it needs to 'recharge' the immune system.

​

Aside from the health issues attributed to anxiety it can also have negative effects in our social and work lives, such as nerves before a driving test or exams, nerves before a social gathering, or nerves before a meeting or interview at work. These negative feelings may have a negative effect on your performance, leading to certain failure of the task you were anxious about failing.

​
