Anxiety keeps you from staying connected to the present.  It pulls you into the future or stuck in the past.  It causes our minds to loop and and creates a knot in the pit of our stomach that is difficult to untie.  We become hyper-vigilant and exhausted. 
 

Stress and anxiety exist on a spectrum, one end mildly anxious; doesn't interfere with the things you need or want to do.  The other end life stopping -  interfering in work,  parenting duties and the ability to be with others.  

​
