Be objective about anxiety

One of the most important things that I've learned about dealing with anxiety problems it to be objective. When we view anxiety in a non-objective way, the sting of it is much worse, and it just feeds into the anxiety (anxiety being caused by worrying thoughts). If we view anxiety as it is (i.e. the symptoms of the anxiety, which are the symptoms), it's not nearly as bad as it is often initially perceived. Being mindful of the actual sensations and thoughts which both perpetuate and/or cause anxiety is very helpful. What this also does is helps in the creation of an awareness that anxiety is not the problem, but is a symptom of another problem (thinking habits).

Mindfulness is general is just a good tool for life in general, I know I feel much more sane when I practice it. Mindfulness brings me (and all those that practice it) out of my autopilot and into reality. Anxiety is a delusional disorder caused by day-terrors
