<p><b>Make anxiety work for you.</b></p><p>Work is stressful: We race to meet deadlines. We extend ourselves to return favors for colleagues. We set ambitious goals for ourselves and our teams. We measure ourselves against metrics, our competitors, and sometimes, our colleagues. Some of us even go beyond tangible metrics to internalize stress and fear of missing the mark—ruminating over presentations that didn''t go according to plan, imagining worst-case scenarios, or standing frozen, paralyzed by perfectionism. In fact, anxiety is the most prevalent mental disorder worldwide, existing at different levels and in different ways, depending on your genes, chemistry, background, environment, social network, and so on. But hypervigilance, worry, and catastrophizing don''t have to hold you back at work. When channeled thoughtfully, anxiety can motivate us to be more resourceful, productive, and creative. It can break down barriers and create new bonds with our colleagues.</p><p><i>Man
