But the the reality is that for some of us anxiety is a part of life.
And we can especially for our children or for ourselves and especially as parents that it's natural to think I just need to get this problem solved and then life can move forward.
Whereas the anxiety is really protective and I I I say to parents that if your child is walking home and they feel like they might be being followed or they're
they're feeling like they're not they're walking down on the on the way to a friend's house and all of a sudden there feels like there's a a big group of older boys or
a group that just triggers this instinctive response that, hey, passing by might not be the wisest choice.
It's the anxiety that's going to help them cross the road or duck into a friend's house if there's a a risk or a a threat.
And we can't turn it off.
We wouldn't want to.
It keeps us safe.
It's just so
It's like this alarm is sounding all the time, even when there's no real threat to danger or there is no threat to safety.
And so we can't get rid of it.
And a life that is meaningful is going to have ups and downs and challenges and opportunities can bring anxiety because we just don't know what's going to happen.
And this idea that we can help young people to understand it so they don't that's not as frightening when the symptoms come, they can say, Oh, I know what this is.
Learn how to settle the symptoms down, but also, exactly as you said, move forward and bring
whatever's left of the anxiety with you to keep doing the things that are important.
And that that's that takes a little bit of digesting, I think.
And that's why I called my podcast Well, Hello Anxiety, because like
It's almost like what I say every morning, what are we doing today?
What luck?
