Can anxiety work for you instead of joy?<\/strong> This is the question that Pixar\u2019s \u201cInside Out 2\u201d<\/strong><\/a> seems to ask its viewers at the start of the movie.<\/p>\n

As Riley experiences puberty, she faces the daunting challenge of meeting new friends, adjusting to peer pressure and forming a new sense of self. Suddenly, a new set of complex emotions pop up in her head, taking control of her new life and forcing her to let go of her old emotions \u2013 even Joy!<\/em><\/p>\n

Should joy take a backseat when it comes to your teenage years?<\/strong> <\/em>How far can anxiety take control to let you scan your new environment, face uncomfortable decisions and give your goals a hundred percent of your efforts?<\/p>\n

Anxiety\u2019s Claim<\/h3>\n** ** When Anxiety first came onto the scene, it appeared to be a friendly and excited emotion who wanted to belong to the group. When it greeted Joy, one can easily think that Anxiety is even a fan!<\/p>\n ** But as Riley went to puberty, Anxiety wanted to be more in control.<\/strong> For Anxiety, Riley now needs more complex emotions to meet the new challenges in her life.<\/p>\n ** Riley shouldn\u2019t be content with just hanging around and being happy with her old friends. She should be doing something to form new ones and excel in what she does. So instead of spending her remaining time with the old gang, Anxiety pulls her away and makes her join an elite hockey team.<\/p>\n ** **Of course, Joy and the other older emotions protest!<\/em> But Anxiety captured them and held them under lock and key.<\/p>\n When Anxiety Goes Out of Control<\/h3>\n**** ** Anxiety is one emotion that seems to have too much energy.<\/em> It never seemed content to introduce Riley to a new set of friends. It worried about being an outcast. It imagined endless scenarios that could make Riley\u2019s life miserable. And it worked itself to exhaustion for Riley to make it to the hockey team.<\/p>\n ** However, while it saw itself working for Riley, it soon ended up working against her.<\/strong> It wanted to form a new set of beliefs without her consent. It disregarded Riley\u2019s other memories and emotions. Last but not least, it paralyzed itself at that crucial moment when Riley\u2019s entire sense of self could be totally destroyed.<\/p>\n ** Isn\u2019t this what anxiety does in real life?<\/strong><\/em> At first, it tries to justify its purpose by trying to caution us against negligence and complacency. But as it maps out every worst-case scenario in our head, we find ourselves battling for our every breath!<\/p>\n ** ****Instead of energizing us, it paralyzes us.<\/strong> Instead of helping us achieve our goals, it works against us in the end.<\/p>\n Joy\u2019s Journey of Maturity<\/h3>\n**** ** Fortunately for Riley, Joy and the other emotions did not give up.<\/em> Even when pushed at the very back of her consciousness, they scrambled to save her sense of self and consequently, her well-being.<\/p>\n ** It was not an easy journey, however. Joy, who was so used to just being \u201cjoyful\u201d almost turned into Sadness as she tried to accept that growing up could also mean having less joy.<\/p>\n ** This is the second time that Joy learned something through Riley\u2019s life.<\/strong> In the first movie, she learned that even Sadness has a role when it comes to Riley\u2019s well-being. It was such a touching part when Joy finally acknowledged how Joy and Sadness can work together and create something meaningful and good.<\/p>\n ** ****Now, Joy has matured more in the sense that she admitted the reality of being less present in Riley\u2019s life while not letting go of her duty to protect Riley\u2019s beliefs and sense of self.<\/p>\n Riley\u2019s Control Panel<\/h3>\n**** ** The showdown between Anxiety and Joy is a battle about Riley\u2019s control panel.<\/strong> Which emotion should take control at the moment? What move can help Riley the most?<\/p>\n ** It will not serve Riley any good if every emotion just grabs the control panel whenever they wish! That\u2019s how things messed up when Anxiety took control.<\/p>\n ** ****Perhaps that\u2019s why they seem to have put Joy as the unofficial leader.<\/em> And that\u2019s the same reason why she needed to undergo her own journey of maturity.<\/p>\n Memories and Beliefs<\/h3>\n**** ** It is interesting to note the connection shown in the movie about memories and beliefs.<\/strong> It is said that memories form beliefs. In return, beliefs allow Riley to form one\u2019s sense of self.<\/p>\n ** It\u2019s no wonder why Joy was so keen on protecting these beliefs. Without them, Riley will feel lost, unable to tell who she is, what matters most to her and how she acts at various points in life.<\/p>\n ** How I would have cheered more had Riley also been given religious memories and beliefs.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ** These would have guided her in difficult times and allowed her to overcome her many worries.<\/p>\n ** ****Growing up, I remember many Bible verses that allowed me to form a belief against needless anxiety.<\/p>\n " \u201cDo not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.\u201d \u2013 Philippians 4:6-7 (NRSVCE)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n***** ** *****\u201cAnd can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? \u2026So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today\u2019s trouble is enough for today.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 6 (NRSVCE)<\/em><\/p>\n The Connection Between Mental Health and Spiritual Well-Being<\/h3>\n******* ** *******I think the movie was not able to directly show the connection between mental health and spiritual well-being.<\/strong> The absence of religious memories and beliefs failed to let the viewers know the possible impact of one\u2019s spirituality to one\u2019s mental wellness.<\/p>\n It should be noted that per a 2023 survey by Skylight<\/a>, 61% of Americans connect to a Higher Power and 45% pray to feel less anxious. \u00a0(Skylight<\/a> is a non-denominational platform that integrates mental well-being and spiritual practices, aiding people in overcoming stress, anxiety and other mental issues. Skylight<\/a> also collaborated with Patheos to explore this film\u2019s portrayal of the interconnection between mental wellness and spirituality.)<\/p>\n While Disney may not want to adhere to a particular religious belief, it may have neglected one of the main factors that can alleviate anxiety and other negative emotions affecting people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n In Skylight\u2019s article \u201cCan Spirituality Help With A Generational Mental Health Crisis?\u201d<\/a>, it noted that 57% of GenZennials admitted that \u201cspiritual\/religious practices positively impact their mental health\u201d. Of this generation, 1\/3 needed help establishing their morning and evening routines.<\/p>\n The Catholic Perspective on Mental Health<\/h3>\n********* ** Pope Francis once said, \u201cI\u2019m convinced that every priest must know human psychology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ** *********Meanwhile, during the World Day of the Sick in 2006, Pope Benedict XVI stated:<\/p>\n " \u201cOn this occasion, the Church intends to bow down over those who suffer with special concern, calling the attention of public opinion to the problems connected with mental disturbance that now afflicts one-fifth of humanity and is a real social-health care emergency\u2026.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n********* ** The Catholic Church recognizes the importance of one\u2019s mental health and the various means of alleviating one\u2019s mental health issues.<\/p>\n ** It should be noted, however, that this in no way undermines the role of faith in managing one\u2019s mental health condition.<\/p>\n ** Even the saints have recognized the impact of our negative emotions and recommended spiritual remedies to overcome them.<\/strong><\/p>\n ** \u201cPray, hope, and don\u2019t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.\u201d \u2013 Padre Pio<\/p>\n ** *********\u201cBring [your heart] quietly back into God\u2019s presence, subjecting all your affections and desires to the obedience and direction of his divine will.\u201d \u2013 St. Francis de Sales<\/p>\n " \u201cLet nothing disturb you,********* \nLet nothing frighten you, \nAll things are passing away: \nGod never changes. \nPatience obtains all things \nWhoever has God lacks nothing; \nGod alone suffices.\u201d *********\n\u2013 St. Teresa of Avila<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Catholic Joy That Overcomes Anxiety<\/h3>\n More than anything else, I think the Catholic faith allows Joy to shine even in the midst of adversity.<\/strong> Joy in Christ is a Catholic weapon against worry<\/a>, stress and other negative emotions that threaten to rob one\u2019s peace of mind.<\/p>\n In Mother Teresa\u2019s own words, here is what it\u2019s like to have this kind of joy:<\/p>\n " \u201cJoy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJoy is a sign of generosity. When you are full of joy, you move faster and you want to go about doing good to everyone.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Catholic perspective is one that has learned what True Joy is about.<\/p>\n In the Disney film, we also see the role of the emotion Joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was Joy who was able to calm Anxiety when everything went out of control. Joy was also the one who found a way to help Riley manage her complex emotions.<\/p>\n In that crucial part of the film where Joy lovingly embraced all of Riley\u2019s sense of self, however, it wasn\u2019t explained why she did that.<\/strong><\/p>\n How can Joy not disappear in the face of pain, worry and doubt?<\/em><\/p>\n In Riley\u2019s darkest hour, Joy must have discovered who she truly is.<\/p>\n Joy must have learned that she isn\u2019t just a fleeting emotion like amusement or excitement. She isn\u2019t someone who is always supposed to have that \u201chappy vibe\u201d.<\/em> True joy is one that is deep and lasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n What she showed Riley wasn\u2019t just passive acceptance. Only a deep and all-encompassing love can be the answer!<\/strong><\/p>\n As a Catholic, I can\u2019t imagine having this kind of love without knowing Christ.<\/strong> Such is the religious belief that can transform joy from that of fleeting happiness to a deep, strong and eternal one.<\/p>\n It is this joy that gives me hope in times of despair, strength in times of weariness and courage in times of anxiety. I have this joy because I have Him who is Joy Himself! Someone who loves me and who assures me that whatever I may go through, I will never be alone.<\/p>\n " \u201cSo you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.\u201d \u2013 John 16:22 (NRSVCE)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cCome to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 11:28 (NRSVCE)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Can anxiety work for you instead of joy?
