What if anxiety is just an alarm — not the problem itself?

Most people think anxiety, anger, or frustration are the problem. But they're just alarms — signals that something deeper is off. I've been digging into this idea: every emotional loop follows the same pattern — Emotion = Expectation vs. Reality. The moment you name the hidden expectation, the emotion loses its grip. I built an open-source tool around this framework (launching today!). It walks you through 4 steps: 1. Name the emotion 2. Find the hidden expectation 3. Validate it against evidence 4. Calculate what the loop costs you Would love to hear your take — have you noticed this pattern in your own emotional cycles?
