What anxiety actually means in my views ?
People with anxiety disorders aren't the only people who experience anxiety; in fact, everyone feels it everyday, they just don't know it. Anxiety is what you feel before a big game or an important test. It's the source of excitement before you go on a ski trip at your favorite resort. It's the butterflies in your stomach on a first date. It's what can prepare you for a big event; it's the rush you feel. Depending on how you interpret this feeling, however, it can be your best friend or worst enemy. People with anxiety disorders get this rush, but deal with it differently. Their mind and body turn this normally helpful emotion into a feeling of helplessness, and don't allow themselves to get motivated. Before big games and important tests, rather than getting inspired to prepare for the event, people with anxiety disorders get the feeling that there's no point in getting ready. They end up concentrating on something much less important because it feels much more comfortable. The rush that usually helps someone deal with a situation becomes the situation they're dealing with. They don't want to feel uneasy so they try and keep their mind off it. The most important thing to a person with this disorder is to get rid of the 'nervousness'; the problem is, the easiest way to do so is to avoid the situation that's causing it. The mind will make subconscious decisions that postpone or even stop people from dealing with the situation. In the moments before a big event, people easily get distracted and find them selves tempted to engage in another activity. Although they might think it's a good idea to go through with their urges, it's really just a distraction to remove them from the situation in order to lower the anxiety.

predictions about behaviour
Motivation is any internal or external process, which is involved in instigating directing, and terminating behavior. All our involuntary responses are reflexes, where as all our voluntary activities involve motivation. But one's motivation cannot be observed directly. It is inferred from the behavior of the organism. Motivation is a driving state; it is also a behavior-arousal state within the individual. Motivation directs the behavior towards a goal. It is thus an internal eternal condition of the organism that forces him/her into action. Motivation has the following three aspects: (a) A driving state within the organism that is set in motion by bodily needs, environmental stimuli, or mental it’s, (b) The behavior aroused and directed by this state and (c) The goal towards which the behavior is directed. We never observe motives directly. Rather we infer their existence from the people say about the way they feel and from observing that people and animals work towards certain goals. In other words, motives are inferences behavior. If our inferences about motives are correct, we have a powerful for the explanation of behavior. Truly speaking, most of our everyday explanations of behavior are in terms of motives. Here is a simple question- "Why are you going to college?" The answer is given usually in terms of "motivation". You are going to the educational institution because you want to learn something or you need a college degree let a good job or it is a suitable place to make friends. You are a student in the college because you think it is expected of you, and one of your goals is to conform to what is expected. It is true that, most likely you are going to college to meet some combination of these needs. Someone who understands your motives can see why you do the things the way you do. For this reason, clinical and personality psychologists who study the behavior of individuals place so much emphasis motives. Sometimes motives do not tell us exactly what will happen; rather they give us an idea about the range of things a person will do. So, in other words, motives help us to make predictions about behavior.
