Anticipatory anxiety or pre-anxiety is the anxiety that happens BEFORE an event or situation actually occurs.

Anxiety usually shows up when we are disconnected from ourselves in some way. Consciously, you may know that there is nothing to feel anxious about, so when anxiety shows up, you dismiss it, you push it away, you suppress it.

Anxiety is a spiritual messenger. It isn’t our enemy and isn’t just a problem to “fix.” It’s a sign that our soul is in desperate need of our own attention.

The problem with using positive affirmations is that they ignore one gigantic thing…the subconscious mind.
