Anxiety has a way of impregnating into our lives and snow balling mole hills into mountains. It dwells in the shadows and does not have any form per se. It begins with clouding our judgmental prowess. Before we know, our ability of applying logical rationality is tossed out of the window and we are weighing every negative aspect heavily in our mind and heart. This is just when fear injects itself and stands in the way of our decision making endowment.
We often tend to suffer emotionally. We give importance to everything other than our own soul. We fear taking a stance. We fear being a rebel. We fear losing. We fear rejection. We fear becoming a failure. It seems like a bottom less pit. It feels boundless. Anxiety to fear to depression, in no time we are engulfed in it all.
We all go through such phases personally and professionally.
What do you in such a complex scenario?
Breathe. Pause. Breathe.
Repeat till you can put your thinking cap on.
Define the situation.
Role play into becoming the Observer of your life.
Decide how important every aspect related to the plot is.
Do not work on assumptions. Label your thoughts and feelings.
Identify an index of plausible alternatives.
Let the core of your inner-self guide you.
Learn to say "Enough is enough" if needed and stand up for it.
Put a period where you need to and move on.
Enough is that period which is where it needs to be. It is not a measurement by the yardstick or the weigh scale.
ENOUGH IS A DECISION. Take it before it is too late.
