Enthusiasm is the light side of anxiety.Whenever you focus on what inspires and lights you up, your body responds by releasing endorphins, and you have a relaxed sense of well being. However, if you are in high stress situations, your body responds by releasing adrenaline, which is a draining physiological when it becomes a long term pattern.

Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string. Pele
