Reducing Stress and Anxiety
Positive Psychology is a an effective antidote to anxiety and a powerful stress-buster.
In its simplest form, anxiety is a helpful signal to us that something needs to be attended to. Something is wrong and we need to think about a solution. Maybe we forgot to pay a bill or make a phone call and a nagging sensation of anxiety alerts us to take action. Or perhaps there is a big project due, and we haven't left enough time to work on it - anxiety can be helpful because it tells us we need to make a decision or improve a plan.
However, anxiety can become a problem in itself, when it is experienced too often or too intensely, inhibiting a fully functioning life. An anxiety problem can be mildly irritating, or disabling to a person's ability to function. Some indications of an anxiety problem might be:
- insomnia
- a feeling that you're always behind constant worry
- a vague continual feeling of anxiety
- compulsive behaviors
- fear of social situations
- racing heartbeat and difficulty breathing
- racing thoughts
- a series of changes or transitions in life have made it difficult to feel confident and calm as usual
