Let’s be honest, practically everyone deals with anxiety in one form or another. Life is stressful and stress typically leads to anxiety. It is important to first acknowledge our anxiety and find ways to reduce that anxiety by implementing techniques to manage anxiety like meditation, breathing techniques, exercise, lifestyle modifications, etc. If you are not able to self-manage your anxiety seek professional help. Anxiety and stress can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attack and even stroke. Take control of your anxiety for your mental and physical health.
In my own personal experience, when I put off or procrastinate things in my life (personal, work, etc.) that I perceive to be difficult, painful or stressful (and would really rather avoid doing but know that they are not going to simply go away) instead of just addressing those things head on, that procrastination causes a tremendous amount of anxiety. I have found that if discipline myself to address those difficult tasks instead of putting them off that I eliminate a great deal of subliminal stress and anxiety from my life. Food for thought…
