Understanding Anxiety and Its Natural Response
Anxiety is a natural response to stress and perceived threats, which allows us to prepare for possible dangers. However, chronic anxiety can interfere with daily life. According to a study, anxiety has spiked by 300% since pre-pandemic levels. To overcome anxiety, it is important to recognize and address its causes. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, can activate the body's relaxation response and reduce anxiety levels. Cognitive restructuring involves identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety. By examining the validity of anxious thoughts and replacing them with rational alternatives, anxiety can be managed effectively. Gradual exposure therapy, where one confronts fears systematically, can also help reduce anxiety levels.
