What is stress and anxiety?
Anxiety is the action you get when your brain spots a 'risk.' Once a risk is identified, your stress reaction is triggered, and it is this 'stress reaction' that provides you the uneasy sensations in your body, and causes your mind to race.
In order to comprehend what stress and anxiety is, I find it beneficial to draw from evolutionary psychology as it enables me to see that stress and anxiety is an adaptive action that needs to be helpful, however our intelligence obstructs! Let me discuss.
In the really short video above, I start by revealing you how your brain need to respond when it identifies a threat. Risk detected, brain provides you the energy to get ready for danger and you cool down when the threat has actually passed.
what is anxiety? caveman
If you think how we have actually evolved in time, we were once prey to other bigger, quicker animals.
Those early human beings who could find 'threats' rapidly and respond appropriately were more most likely to make it through, and for that reason more most likely to pass on their adaptive 'threat detection system' to their children.
As we developed, we lost the threat from predators, but kept our hazard detection system. It's like we still have this primitive danger detection system, however are now using it to discover threats in the workplace, or wherever we happen to be!
modern stress and anxiety
The system that assisted primitive guy out when he was under threat, being chased after by a big predator, is the exact same system that is reacting to contemporary day 'risks' such a feeling under pressure at work!
How does this threat detection system produce anxiety?
In primitive man, the tension response is activated as soon as a danger (predator) is identified. The stress reaction gives him the energy to fight the predator or run away-- hence why we speak about the fight or flight response.
When he runs out harms way, his body cools down once again. This fast burst of energy, in my mind is not stress and anxiety, rather it is more similar to fear and this is an essential difference, as I shall explain now.
Contemporary male spots a hazard, such as stressing about loan and his tension action gets activated. He still gets this huge burst of energy, however what he is now experiencing is anxiety, as opposed to fear.
Fear is where there is a real danger present (a genuine threat) and anxiety is where you are stressed over a 'threat' that may take place in the future.
What triggers anxiety?
There are various paths in your brain that can result in the anxiety you experience, but each involve an alarm bell being triggered to activate your stress response. The alarm bell can be activated by a 'thinking' route, where your thoughts and worries can make you nervous, and by a quicker path, where your brain remembers to be anxious.
