quote icon One thing we know about anxiety is that it narrows our field of focus. It makes us acutely aware of the perceived threats coming at our own lives, right now. Our vision constricts, our ability to think rationally or big-picture dissolves, and we become obsessed with survival. We're zoomed in on our belly button while the ceiling above us is caving in. Everything in us gets tense. Scared. Life becomes us versus them - whoever them happens to be. And when we isolate ourselves long enough, the only enemy left is us. We declare civil war. Against ourselves. All our attention gets pointed inward. Almost without warning, it's you verses you.
