Slowing and Stopping All Kinds of Anxiety

Have you made commitments to stress-relieving techniques without following through? Consider the impacts: when anxiety snowballs, it quickly gains mass and momentum with each revolution. That important conversation with your partner becomes sabotaged, the timeless joy of a favorite hobby becomes muted or vacant, and a stable state-of-mind becomes a shelter for catastrophic thinking.

It all adds up. Each and every anxiety-soaked moment threatens your day and your recovery. And it’s quite possible that your anxiety is disordered. Check out this breakdown on the different anxiety disorders, the easy techniques for undoing anxiety and the best plans for long-term stability, because at the end of the day, anxiety is optional (and so is joy).

Choose Your View: Glee or Glum

There’s always something to feel sad and sorry about: social upheaval, political tensions and fraught geopolitics are not new. Since the dawn of our existence, there has always been chaos, and there has always been peace—which inhabits your mind is entirely up to you. Learn to reframe your thoughts toward an air of gratitude, and your anxiety will wash away.
