Despite telling myself over and over again that any match played by my favourite club (Manchester City) is just a game, and that I shouldn’t let it raise my blood pressure, I found myself doing the exact opposite on Sunday.
I was anxious and on edge until the match was over, and we won 2–1. Around the 96th minute, I was genuinely scared when Arsenal pulled off some beautiful footwork and almost equalised. My heart was literally in my mouth during those few seconds.
I’ve noticed that this pattern repeats itself, especially when I have a major task or project. Until it is completed and delivered, I tend to feel quite anxious. Even though I know that anxiety doesn’t help, I still struggle with it. Outwardly, I may seem calm, but internally, my mind is constantly running through different scenarios. I pray and commit everything into God’s hands, yet I often still wrestle with these feelings.
So, is this a healthy pattern? Does this happen to you? If you experience something similar, how do you manage it? I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Have a wonderful day.
Cheers!
