Anxiety-Expectations
Expectations are good when couched with understanding and education. I think of my children and the thoughts about their abilities to do things. For example, How quick they can get their homework done? How good they are at a sport? And sometimes it’s expectations of others such as “Aren’t you going to buy those shoes for me?” Think about the emotional fallout from assuming or thinking that things should be a certain way. We are all guilty of it, not just my kids. How does this play out in your life? What are the types of things that you expect of yourself and the world around you that serve as to perpetuate feelings of dissatisfaction? Anxiety often is what we don’t expect but with the help of AR and coming to the realization of it, we can begin to manage it. So if your hope is that anxiety will just disappear, this for most people is an unrealistic expectation. Anxiety is a pattern of response to stress and the suffering that is brought on by the feelings and responses.
How do I breakdown the fallout from these expectations?

"It is what it is"
Resignation is not failure particularly when it relates to try to fix other people or relationships. We often hold into the dream of things being much different than what they are, but at what price. It is often in an attempt to avoid the emotional reality that life and people are not as we wish they would be. Anxiety is increased by the sense of responsibility in trying to make things different, instead of just accepting that "It is what it is".

Anxiety is a depletion of energy for all that is satisfactory. So there must be tremendous attention given to adding positive in the wake of Its presence. The anger that accompanies its existence just causes greater exhaustion. Where do you derive satisfaction and strength in your life?
