🙌 Dealing With Anxiety In Today’s Turbulent World

As the world continues to face new challenges, people all over the world are feeling helpless, panicked, and even heartbroken. We are a society plagued by anxiety and depression and the COVID ERA has amplified these skyrocketing mental health issues. 

The energies of the collective consciousness are heavy as humanity begins its quantum shift to end the old paradigm.

In April, 22% of adults reported being depressed. The problem is even worse for our youth…44% reported “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.” Medications have side effects. Therapy is expensive. And most of us carry this burden without getting any help at all. Something is very wrong, and it’s time to take action.

But, there is a silver lining to the chaotic storm swirling around us....

And that is YOU!

These turbulent times are calling you to….

🤙🏽Rise up & give your gifts through your life and business

🤙🏽Embrace a higher level of consciousness

🤙🏽Transform lives & help the people who need you NOW…

…so you can stand in your true sovereignty and usher in New Earth energy. 

But How?

Besides the normal day-to-day hustle and immense stress of daily living in the modern world, we now have an ongoing pandemic, political unrest, and a recession to contend with. 

Unfortunately, dealing with anxiety has become somewhat of a normal part of life for many individuals in the world today. Although this problem is not necessarily a new phenomenon, there are certain aspects of modern times that have served to exacerbate the issue. 

Due to our world being so connected through the internet, social media and other forms of media, people today are not only exposed to the issues in their immediate environment. Instead, we are shown all of the bad things taking place across the entire globe. Furthermore, we are expected to juggle so many more responsibilities at one time, all while being as productive as possible. 

Although anxiety certainly varies in intensity and frequency from person to person, there are a few ways to deal with the problem that are beneficial for anyone experiencing this issue. This article intends to discuss a few of these techniques in order to alleviate some of your anxiety, hopefully improving your overall quality of life. 

Live In The Moment

Although it may seem obvious when stated, the only point in time in which you will EVER exist is right now. Ironically, most of us dedicate the bulk of our mental energy to the past or future. Anxiety is great at causing us to replay past mistakes in our head and constantly worry about things that have yet to occur. 

A big part of dealing with anxiety is to live in the moment. This means focusing all of your physical and mental energy on what is going on right now. Not only does this simplify life, but it also allows you to get the most out of your limited time. 

Trying to deal with your entire past and future on a constant basis makes it virtually impossible to appreciate what is right in front of you. 

Control What You Can Control 

The truth is, many of the issues causing anxiety in your life are beyond your control. This includes global and community issues as well as problems in your personal life. 

What you need to realize is that the weight of the world is NOT on your shoulders, even though it can certainly seem like it at times. Anxiety tells you that you should be worried about solving problems that are way out of your hands. 

In reality, focusing on the issues that you actually have the ability to resolve is a much healthier response to a problem-filled world. 

It’s Okay To Not Feel Okay

Another side effect of anxiety is a feeling of isolation. People experiencing anxiety on a routine basis tend to feel like they are the only ones dealing with this issue. 

Because of this perspective, we often feel like everyone else is much happier than we are like we won’t be accepted if anyone else knew the extent of our anxiety. It is so important to realize that this is far from the truth. 

Everyone around you is experiencing some degree of anxiety or mental hang-up. You are far from alone. Don’t feel like you have to go through life acting as if everything is okay when it isn’t. 

Try a variety of holistic modalities 

For me, getting out into Nature works every time I feel anxious. Even looking at beautiful scenery can help, but nothing beats breathing in the fresh air and getting grounded. Mother Earth has a way of absorbing trauma and negativity when we are open to letting go. Try Nature bathing, star gazing, hiking, tree climbing… whatever…. Just get out into Nature.

EFT Tapping - Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It’s also referred to as tapping or psychological acupressure.

People who use this technique believe tapping the body can create a balance in your energy system and treat pain. According to its developer, Gary Craig, a disruption in energy is the cause of all negative emotions and pain.

Though still being researched, EFT tapping has been used to treat people with anxiety and people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Bottom Line is to Get Help If You Need It

Finally, if your anxiety is something you are having trouble dealing with on your own, then don't! There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional help for this issue. Ironically, our society welcomes getting help for even minor physical ailments but acts as if doing the same for a serious mental health issue is taboo. 

Consider this, if you had the flu, you would most certainly seek the appropriate doctor to take care of it. Why would you not seek a doctor that is medically trained in alleviating mental health issues if you are dealing with anxiety? There is help out there. Get it if you need it! NOW…
