Nor other mental or physical issues do. We should never forget about this. We tend to judge, label, criticize, stigmatize others so easily, mindlessly and carelessly. We should stop doing this, seriously. This post is about unexpected benefits of anxiety.
We should practice mindfulness and develop self-awareness not only for our personal growth but also for being able to live in a moment in the most authentic and sincere way possible. We are so busy with our work, plans, ideas for the future that we just don’t pay enough attention to what is happening now, at this particular moment. Constantly struggling with concentration and attentiveness we waste time and opportunities in life. Instead we should learn to embrace the perfection and imperfection of every moment of our life by focusing on its authenticity and uniqueness. Without expecting more from life or others.
