The sensitive-anxious brain is wired to focus on what’s not working. It’s the hypervigilant part scanning the horizon, looking for danger. This is the part that’s prone to relationship anxiety and health anxiety. It was the hypervigilant people in the community that scanned the horizon looking for danger, and they were the ones who served us very well when we lived in the outback or jungle. Then it was a matter of survival. But as modern people, this habitual mind and first-layer interpretation of the danger response keeps us stuck in an anxious loop. We’re being called to evolve, which means not only rewiring the mind to look for what’s present, safe, and working, but also questioning the anxious brain that takes every signal of danger at face value. 💛
