Habit of worrying
When a person is experiencing severe stress or is in tense conditions for a long time, where he must be alert all the time and in full “combat readiness.” Then the person adapts to such environmental conditions — accepts the challenge and changes his state from calm wakefulness to “combat readiness”.
Only there is no one to fight with. Wednesday is calm. And her “challenges” do not require the same amount of energy as an anxious person. And the body is exhausted…
The whole point is that once a person has reconstructed himself, he forgets about it and learns to live with constant internal tension.
And when a huge amount of energy is released (in a state of “combat readiness”), then it needs to be put somewhere. And any event causes a strong surge of energy, so the slightest news is perceived as threatening, reinforcing a person’s anxiety. And the world in perception becomes unsafe, as a result of which a person grows his anxious attitudes more and more.
And even when nothing happens, the anxious person begins to invent all sorts of “horror stories”, accelerating his internal tension to the limit. Because “everything cannot be fine and calm,” this does not correspond to the usual state of “combat readiness.”
It’s not about the environment, but about the internal state of a person. And you can start working by immersing yourself in the “here in the now,” in a situation where the environment is calm and its challenges do not threaten the life of the body. Then the understanding gradually begins to come that everything is fine and the world is safe, which means I can calm down.
