The Mechanics of Anxiety
If you are not anchored inside, you will be drafted by the outside.
When there is no connection to the Pnimiyut (Inner Essence), The gaze is drawn outward.
When a person has no internal silence, Every external noise rules the consciousness.
Why does the outside grab our heart more than what is happening inside us?
This is the whole difference between Anxiety and Yishuv HaDa’at (Settled Mind).
I completely agree, but I also see now that to be truly anchored and to really get brave in life, we also need to find some anchor points in others in our lives who are on the same path.
