4. Clumsiness
As mentioned before, anxiety is distracting, and unfortunately, paying attention is vital when it comes to coordination. Whether you’re fixating on a problem (or trying to focus on thinking about anything else stuck amid environmental or social factors that stress you out, posture and steadiness aren’t on the same branch of your mind’s hierarchy. Or maybe your sweaty palms (another symptom of anxiety) are making it harder to retain your grip on something heavy. Anxious folk are also prone to overcorrect (especially if they’re anxious about their clumsiness or inability to balance), and as a result their balance backfires.
