Calm Anxiety: Taking Back Control

Discover why there is so much anxiety in society today and how to protect yourself and your loved ones. Don't get drawn into a world of mental illness and medication due to high anxiety... Learn the truth about today's anxiety and take back control. ... Why am I more anxious than my family, my friends and my colleagues? What is wrong with me? The speeding heart and rapid breathing, the sweating, trembling, feeling 'on-edge' and that sense of impending danger are all extremely powerful. They descend upon us without warning and we cannot seem to stop them. These thoughts, feelings and behaviours, over which we have virtually no control, affect us deeply. Such powerful feelings and so little control - it's no wonder that anxiety can be seen as an awful problem, a terrible weakness, something that has to be eradicated from our lives at all cost. Yet anxiety is a vital part of being human. Indeed, every living organism on the planet has its own form of anxiety, its very own built-in self-protection instinct. Essentially to help us survive, to keep us alive, it sits quietly in the background waiting to spring into action when needed in times of danger. So why do I get so anxious when there is no danger? Why do I have more anxiety than others? What can I do about it? When the answer to these questions involves labels such as 'disorder' and 'mental illness' and provides treatments that offer no real control, it's easy to fall into self-defeating beliefs about our anxiety - ones that increase the problem dramatically. But it doesn't have to be like this. If we look at anxiety through the lens of evolution and survival, and we realise how this ancient survival instint is trying to protect us in a modern world, a very different picture emerges. It's not one of illness or disorder, but that of a normal, healthy person with a normal, healthy mind being trapped into a life of anxiety and fear by the hidden threats and dangers that lurk in society today - threats and dangers that didn't even exist just a generation ago. Calm Anxiety reveals what's actually causing everyone to become so anxious today... and can save you from the trap. Don't get drawn into a world of mental illness and medication due to high anxiety. Learn the the truth about modern anxiety and take back control.
