Are you an anxiety super hero? Sometimes we need to appreciate some of the super qualities that may increase our anxiety, but also make us compassionate human beings.
*Empathy – Are you someone who can walk into a room filled with people and instantly feel everyone else’s emotions? Without talking, can you intuit who’s struggling inside?
*Intuition: Do you consistently get gut feelings about things that usually end up spot on?
*Cat-like reflexes: Fight or flight? No problem. Burning building? You’d be the first one out with someone on your back.
*Courage: Do you regularly choose to practice with intense feelings of anxiety in an effort to accept, surrender and allow anxiety to loosen it’s grip?
*Humor – Do you have the ability to laugh at yourself and find the humor in absurd fears?

I found your blog via kindnessgirl via jen lemen. Oh my gosh, I think I identify with every post I've read so far.
I love the idea of super powers. I think anxious people also have the super power of observation. We are compassionate because of our super powers- it isn't always easy to sit with the anxiety, but we do have so much to offer.
Thanks for commenting! It feels good to be building community & know that there are so many great people out there dealing with similar issues. Yes, we need to add compassion & observation for sure!
