How to Control Your Anxiety Before it Controls YouAnxiety is in many ways a blessing, warding off dangers, preserving life, and making you aware of obnoxious things that you can change -- when it is healthy anxiety, that is, involving feelings of concern, caution, and vigilance. Unhealthy anxiety, however, leads to paralyzing panic, obsessive worry, and phobias that prevent you from doing things that you conceive of as dangerous but are not. Unhealthy anxiety inhibits everyday activities and relationships. How to Control Your Anxiety Before It Controls You provides you with scores of thinking, feeling, and action methods for controlling anxiety. It describes many real cases of anxiety, including those that deal with performance anxiety, as well as social, job hunting, love, sex, and other forms of anxiety. The book includes over 200 rational maxims for decreasing anxiety and increasing prospects for success and happiness at home and in the workplace. |
