3 Steps to Overcoming Anxiety

We live in an anxious world. It is commonly accepted to talk about our worries with others without feeling shamed yet at the same time the busier our lives become the more we feel anxiety. We often call this experience “being stressed out”. We typically “feel” the anxiety in our body through sensations like heightened alertness, muscle tension, increased heart rate and blood pressure, chest tightness, gastrointestinal churning, and sweating. It really is not a pleasant experience.
3 Common Causes of Anxiety
and how to handle them
Lack of Control: The base of anxiety is when we do not feel in control of our own lives. We feel anxious because we think something negative is going to happen to us and we don’t have enough control to stop it. This is usually related to either to person or a situation. Examples of this is when someone treats you poorly and will not change, being diagnosed with a serious medial condition, or feeling we “have to” do something to keep our job. Depending on the level of control you feel in each situation determines how severe the anxiety becomes.
