Worry and anxiety have become a part of our daily lives today. While worrying to a small extent is a normal condition, anxiety is that worry which is accompanied by certain physical components such as an increased heart rate, palpitation, trembling etc. that can cause obvious harm to the person's health over an extended period of time. It is that worry which interferes with the productivity of our day-to-day life. It is discussed in the episode that worry, though a common enough reaction, is not a necessary aspect of our lives and can be curbed and controlled, even overcome. Anxiety can cause great harm to a person's physical as well as mental health.
Sometimes the reason maybe internal emotional issues and sometimes the reason maybe external factors; the effect of both is just as harmful. While past experiences greatly shape our reactions to situations in the present and similar situations in the present can induce great anxiety, it is by no means unchangeable and permanent. In order to check and control situational anxiety, it is extremely important to look inwards and understand the reason behind it. Families can be of great support in helping individuals deal with their anxiety. A few positive methods that one can use on an individual level to check and control anxiety are yoga, meditation, regular exercise and an overall healthy lifestyle. A very negative trend these days is to try to control anxiety through negative coping methods like smoking, drinking, overeating etc. which can cause further harm to our health.
