Conquer Your Anxiety

What is a calm, peaceful day?

We live in uncertain times and often have a chaotic life. We experience a world full of stressors day in and day out. We have forgotten what it feels like to have a calm, peaceful day.

It’s no wonder so many of us react to the world’s overwhelming assaults with anxious feelings. From negative news to excessive social media usage, it seems we just can’t escape. Daily symptoms of worry, tenseness, racing and anxious thoughts, not to mention physical symptoms of racing heart, shortness of breath, trembling and lightheadedness are overwhelming. Whew! That’s a lot to manage!

Run from situations that make you feel uneasy or scared?
Avoid activities that might bring about anxious thoughts or difficult feelings?
Stick with only the people you are really close to?
Perform rituals such as checking and rechecking something?
Take antianxiety medication?
Read a lot of self-help books to manage anxiety symptoms, but they don’t seem to help?

Anxiety Tries to Take Over Your Life

When anxiety creeps into your life, it can feel like it takes over. Exhaustion, frustration, and overwhelming feelings become the norm.

Anxiety can appear when you least expect it, for no apparent reason, and feel so disruptive – causing you to overthink every facet of life and worry about the “what if” scenarios. There is no enjoyment in life or willingness to try new things just to keep the anxious thoughts from appearing. It is severely affecting your life, and you feel drained. It’s hard to imagine feeling anxiety-free again.

You Don’t Have to Live This Way!

Anxiety is a state of mind and very treatable. Anxiety may feel like fear, but it’s true nature is complicated. Anxiety is like a puzzle where there are many pieces that fit together to create the anxious mind.

Many differing triggers provoke anxiety. Some are cognitive triggers, which is how our mind perceives certain situations. Behavior triggers, such as avoidance of a situation to keep anxiety at bay, can end up making anxiety worse. The physical triggers can be so profound and overwhelming that they alone drive up your level of anxiety.
