A step-by-step guide to coping with anxiety—not as a torment, but as a fundamental source of foresight, intuition, and energy to complete your tasks and projects.

If you're struggling with anxiety, there's probably only one thing on your mind - how to get rid of it. But what if this challenging emotion was actually trying to help you?

"When we ignore or suppress our anxiety," says Karla McLarenová, "it can overwhelm us. But when we learn to receive it with skill, we can gain access to its remarkable gifts.”

Wisely engaged, anxiety is your task ally—it helps you focus, plan, act, and accomplish goals.

In the book you will look in detail at the following topics:
- principles and practices for making friends with anxiety at all levels of its intensity (before it overwhelms you),
- strategies for working with anxiety as a source of foresight, conscientiousness and motivation,
- why fear, confusion and panic are not the same as anxiety and the tools to work with them effectively,
- how anxiety intertwines with anger, depression and other emotions and how to clarify these complex states,
- the use of the author's practice of consciously asking questions of anxiety while working with it and obtaining its knowledge,
- how to approach procrastination and do things right.

"When you identify, listen to, and skillfully deal with anxiety, you support its purpose," writes Karla McLaren, "and allow it to naturally recede until it is needed again."

With the book Accepting Anxiety, you will learn how to get this powerful emotion on your side.
