Understanding Anxiety and Feeling Stuck
Anxiety is a signal indicating the need to pay attention, activating the fight or flight response to be in an alert mode. It serves as an alarm system tied to the fundamental need for safety. Human beings have a range of signals and alarms for different needs, like hunger for food, thirst for water, and fatigue for rest. Feeling stuck is a signal of halted growth, often mistaken for an existential crisis, leading people to make drastic life changes. To overcome feeling stuck, one should focus on activities that promote growth, such as looking forward to the future, taking classes, or changing routines to fulfill the fundamental need for progress.
