I have to disagree here. "Being attuned to danger" is, that's an intellectual thing and is good. Anxiety is an emotional response which is unhealthy and affects behavior in negative ways -- e.g. not sleeping well due to worry, eating badly, etc., and those things will reduce your professional performance.

Agreed. A little anxiety is good and helps me stay vigilant but a little more than that and suddenly I'm overthinking things.
