Let me state the obvious: The world we live in provides countless reasons to feel anxious every day. It’s no wonder that anxiety rates continue to rise year after year in the United States and around the globe.
There’s certainly a long list of things to feel anxious about: the economy, health concerns, political unrest, personal finances, relationship troubles, and much more. Feeling anxious in stressful situations is normal and hard to avoid. Most people experience a jolt of anxiety when starting a new job, enduring an audit with the IRS, or giving a speech. Who wouldn’t?
