Sometimes we try to beat our stresses and worries altogether. Another pill. Another prescription refill. Another glass. Another boozy night out. Another line. Another bite. We’ve become a pill generation, medicated for anxiety before we intentionally attempt to see if there’s something it’s trying to tell us or if there’s a natural way to manage it.

But what if anxiety is not a burden at all but is a unique gift? What if that tension we feel is in fact a powerful force of energy that we, the anxious, possess and that other so-called normal people don’t?

What if our anxiety, when channeled in the right way, can give us an edge? What if that edge is our secret to helping us accomplish our greatest dreams, those that most people can’t even conjure? What if that rush of nervous energy we sometimes feel, that adrenaline, is a blessing? What if it’s all supposed to be this way? What if there’s a way to not just survive but to thrive with anxiety?

I believe that there is. And I know it’s possible for anyone, because it worked for me.
