Fear vs. Anxiety

Fear and anxiety share the same brain circuitry, but they stem from different sources—fear arises from real threats, while anxiety often signals a false alarm.

Embracing the occasional false alarm can also be beneficial, as it indicates a well-functioning neural system ready to protect us when necessary.
