Overreaction
It’s the prelude to anxiety
Which is a worry about what might happen
Not just a concern
But a worry
Followed by another and another…
Worrying
It’s a troubled state of mind
It’s anxiety
It’s distress, it’s uneasiness
It’s not a healthy state
It’s not helpful
Overreaction
It leads to anxiety
But anxiety doesn’t build up
All by itself
It takes me to fuel the fire
Which I cause by my overreaction
We fuel the fire
It only burns as hot as we make it
It may first be just a flicker of a flame
Don’t overreact
By adding a new worry
That will make the fire grow
Stop the fire of anxiety
Don’t add on another worry
It will only make it worse
Stop!
