10 Most Common Causes of Anxiety

Anxiety is one or a combination of the following ten common causes. These will produce anxiety in your consciousness and in your body/mind connection.

1.  Unidentified & Unexpressed Emotions. Specifically unexpressed fear, anger, hurt and self-pity always produces anxiety. When a person avoids feeling their emotions choosing to ignore, deny, repress or harbor them, then anxiety surfaces.

2.  Fear of Rejection, Humiliation, Abandonment or Betrayal.

Fear unresolved and repressed surfaces as anxiety.

3.  Attempting to Trust People who Are Not Trustworthy. 

Follow and not questioning your doubts and attempting to have blind 'faith', by deciding to ignore your intuition and trust someone who deep down you feel isn't trustworthy creates an environment that fosters anxiety.

4.  Experiencing Excessive Happiness, Success, and Freedom. 
When people have a wave of continual happiness occurring day after day and they are feeling higher levels of personal freedom; anxiety can start to grow quickly. People often think, "When is the other shoe going to drop? When is the crap going to hit the fan?" They start to fear their happiness and success and become anxious when too much happiness, success, and freedom is happening in their lives. 


5. Being the Source of Other People's Jealousy and Envy. When other people feel jealousy and envy toward you, those people eventually will want to pull you down and punish you on some level. That produces anxiety. 


6.  Anticipating a Negative Future of Failure, Fear, and Pain.
Anticipating and expecting a negative future will create anxiety in you today.
 
7.  Unidentified Truth: Believing That You Are Not Good Enough.
When you have that old operating system from childhood in your consciousness, in your belief system, that somehow, you're not good enough, you're always going to feel a low-grade level of anxiety that someone's going to find out.

8.  Anticipation of Making Mistakes & Failing
Usually rooted in making a major mistake during your childhood. 

9.  Being Superficial & Striving for Perfection
The mask of Perfection is your ego's attempt to hide how you really feel (flawed, unlovable, and defective). It emerges from the shame that you're somehow not enough. You go after the surface appearance and performance to maintain your perfection status. This pattern orginates from childhood experiences of criticism and judgments by others. You decided you've got to be perfect in order to be loved.

10. Unidentified & unexpressed personal power and passion
Refusing to be powerful and choosing to be a victim in life creates anxiety. When a person is constantly feeling powerless and passionless they end up feeling meaningless and empty. Anxiety fills that space of emptiness.
