Anxiety is a mixture two feelings, the first is being worried about an upcoming event while the second is feeling helpless.
Anxiety,like any other emotion, is a signal from your mind asking you to take and action.
The reason you felt anxious before a presentation is that your mind wanted you to be better prepared to face it.
Some people become worried about the future because they feel that they are not in control of their lives. This feelings of helplessness is an essential ingredient that must be present in order for anxiety to visit the person.
The feelings of anxiety is sometimes associated with lack of self confidence where the person feels that he is hopeless or that he is lacking control of his life.
Building self confidence is one great thing you can do in order to feel more in control and so reduce anxiety. You must also understand that anxiety might be caused by your perception of the event rather than the event itself. If for example you incorrectly interpreted a certain event, which is something that happens often to all people, then you will feel anxious even if there was no need for it.
In the Solid Self confidence program i explained that building confidence in your abilities can help you reduce the anxiety you experience about the future events. After all if you managed to become sure about an upcoming event then anxiety won't visit you at all.
Symptoms of anxiety include: increased heart rate, irritability, muscle tension, lack of concentration, being restless and sweating.
An anxiety problem does not mean that you are weak or that you have a problem with your personality because its just a normal emotion that your brain uses in order to help you live a better life even if it was used at the wrong times.
The problem happens when anxiety turns into a disorder. Anxiety becomes a disorder when you start to feel anxious in situations where the emotion is not needed at all and where it impacts your performance.
When anxiety starts to take place where there is no real danger then its said to be a disorder. Here are examples of the most famous anxiety disorders:
