Part 4
In part four, we learn how to open our heart and mind to communicate with our anxiety so that it occurs and converses in a positive, welcoming way and provides guidance. This has significant importance because we become more effective in relating to our anxiety in different ways depending on the circumstances we are in. This can be very beneficial since it can change our conversation when we are alone or with people of different depths. What we need to hear is different depending on who we are with, the degree and intensity of the anxiety, and what our options are—to be alone or together with certain people. The wisdom of recognizing the uniqueness of each conversation is an important realization since we always take into consideration the unique circumstances each time our anxiety arises. We’ve taken another vital step to deepen our capacity to care at these critical times.
