For example a bizarre thought that would normally<br \/>\nnever cause you any concern starts to feel uncomfortable and leads to<br \/>\nfurther anxious thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>The reason this happens is because your anxiety score is high<br \/>\nand you are not feeling at ease with yourself. Compare that to when you<br \/>\nare feeling relaxed and happy. In that situation anxious thoughts hardly make an<br \/>\nimpression and if they do, you have enough inner calm to dismiss them and<br \/>\nmove on without reacting in fear.<\/p>\n<p>Have you also noticed that if you are feeling exhausted and run down, you are much<br \/>\nmore prone to worry.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because your energy levels are low and you don&#8217;t have that same level of inner<br \/>\ncalm and self assurance to deal with the anxious thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it like listening to a radio station. When your anxiety level is high your mind tunes<br \/>\ninto the worry station. The worry station amplifies any anxious thoughts you might have.<br \/>\nLike attracts like. By the virtue of being anxious your mind has turned the dial<br \/>\naway from Cool and Calm FM\u00a0 to Worry and Stress FM.<\/p>\n<p>But then when you are more relaxed and calm that station switches back automatically<br \/>\nand anxious thoughts have very little to no impact.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you are feeling anxious and wondering why your mind feels so<br \/>\nstuck on Worry FM, remember it is directly related to your overall level of anxiety<br \/>\nin your mind and body.<\/p>\n<p>By taking steps to reduce your anxiety level you will be less troubled by anxious<br \/>\nthoughts and find your mental climate much more calm.\u00a0 You will be tuned into<br \/>\nthe station of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.panicaway.com\">Learn more about the Panic Away Program here &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your anxiety level is high any anxious thought you might have takes on a different intensity.
