How can anxiety be a motivator for some and a giant hurdle for others?

Answer 1

I think some use that nervous energy and build themselves up for something - turn it into creative energy while others get so lost in the tension and stress that they can't focus enough - so it becomes a hurdle for them.

Everyone take challenges and stressors and deals with them in different ways - like many parts of life - pain, grief, etc - some push through it and remain strong and some succumb to it. It depends on their mentality - a survivor or victim.

Answer 2

I really believe its our metabolism and that we are pre-disposed to anxiety and how we handle it. My sister has anxiety and she is motivated by it, I on the other hand have terrible panic attacks and they paralyze me.I think its also heredity. Good Luck

Answer 3
