Fear of the unknown is a common trigger of anxiety for most people. However, embracing anxiety may be the key to managing it and growing emotionally.<\/p>\n<p data-t='{\"n\":\"blueLinks\"}'>Understanding the root of anxiety helps us learn from our fears instead of running away from them. Some people embrace their anxieties by listening to podcasts that encourage self-love, practicing breathing techniques, or sticking affirmations on their mirrors.<\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Anxiety?<\/h2>\n<p data-t='{\"n\":\"blueLinks\"}\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20211022-why-were-so-terrified-of-the-unknown\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"0\" hasenterkeydown=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a> states that the discomfort factor is a significant cause of anxiety, triggered by moments of distress and the unknown results of our actions. &#8220;Uncertainty can intensify how threatening a situation feels,&#8221; says psychologist Ema Tanovic. In some cases, the fear of intensifying an uncertain situation may prevent anxious individuals from taking action.<\/p>\n<p data-t='{\"n\":\"blueLinks\"}\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">While some treat anxiety like a band-aid to numb their fears, it&#8217;s not a viable solution. Deluding ourselves into thinking we&#8217;re healing anxiety doesn&#8217;t solve the problem. Instead, we need to address the root cause of our fears and benefit from what our minds are telling us. Anxiety often reflects our intense concern for something or alert us to a substantial issue that needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Embrace Anxiety<\/h2>\n<p data-t='{\"n\":\"blueLinks\"}\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">When you feel anxious, pause and ask yourself: &#8220;why do I feel this way?&#8221; Pinpointing the reasons, even for small concerns, can help embrace our anxieties. Breathing exercises are effective, as they control our bodies&#8217; physical responses to fear. Vocalizing acknowledgement of our fears can reduce heightened anxiety levels, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/how-i-overcame-my-anxiety-4799270\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"0\" hasenterkeydown=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">Byrdie<\/a>. Grounding ourselves in breath helps us connect to the present and prevents us from intensifying worries about uncertainty. Putting a face to anxiety, acknowledging it out loud, and bringing it into reality can help put fears into perspective. Fears are only as big as we make them out to be.<\/p>\n<p data-t='{\"n\":\"blueLinks\"}\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\">Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelist.com\/73917\/ways-care-mental-health-cant-afford-therapy\/?zsource=msnsyndicated\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"0\" hasenterkeydown=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">Ways To Care For Your Mental Health If You Can&#8217;t Afford Therapy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s an irony to the song &#8220;Into The Unknown&#8221; from Frozen 2, in the sense that many of us, for better or for worse, are reluctant to head out into unfamiliar territory.
