Esse é o conceito de ansiedade que nunca te falaram

Faith, by definition, is the unwavering conviction in something that has not yet happened. It is believing in the invisible, investing your energy and certainty that something will materialize, even without proof. We generally associate faith with positive things (hope, healing, success). 🪢 Schedule a psychotherapy session with me: https://wa.me/message/KG4RCJMU4TRIJ1 Anxiety, on the other hand, does exactly the same thing, only in reverse. When you are anxious, you take all that human capacity to "believe in what you haven't yet seen" and direct it towards the worst possible scenario. Instead of having faith that things will work out, you develop an absolute certainty that everything will go wrong. The mechanism of "Faith in Defeat" Creation of catastrophic scenarios: The anxious mind is an excellent screenwriter of horror films. If you have a presentation tomorrow, anxiety doesn't tell you "maybe it will be difficult"; She convinces you that you'll forget your speech, embarrass yourself, and get fired. You believe it as if it were prophetic truth. Wasted energy: Having faith requires emotional energy. When you have "faith in defeat," you spend all your energy suffering over a problem that, most of the time, only exists in your head and will never happen. Ouroboros of suffering: You suffer beforehand (in anticipation), you suffer during (due to nervousness), and even if everything turns out alright afterward, you've already paid the price of suffering for something that didn't even materialize. In short: The phrase alerts us that anxiety is the misuse of our imagination. It's treating the worst possible scenario as an inevitable destiny, and not as a mere possibility among many other positive ones. Did this phrase resonate with something you're experiencing firsthand right now, or was it just another reflection that caught your attention?
