Anxiety Happens

不安が起こる：心の平和を見つけるための52の方法

We live in an age of anxiety. It’s an experience shared by millions of people on this planet. You may know what it’s like. You feel it. You think it. You may confront it from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep at night. Even then, sleep may offer no comfort.

There’s no escaping this simple truth. Anxiety has been with us for as long as we know. Our ancestors needed it to survive. We need it too. But in our modern industrialized world, few of us are facing down predators on a daily basis. Still, many experience anxiety and fear daily, and, in a way, it can feel like being followed by a hungry lion wherever you go. Over time, anxiety can strip away your passion and zest for life. And it can literally take over your life and become your life. It’s bad enough just to have anxiety. But when it begins to rob you of your freedom, you have a problem with anxiety. Yet it doesn’t have to be this way.

This little app offers fifty-two ways to break free from the snares, the traps, and all the false hopes and promises that anxiety and fear set for you. Like a child throwing a tantrum, anxiety forces itself into our awareness and can deplete our energy, resources, and resolve. It screams, “Pay attention to me or else!” It makes it seem like your life is at stake. But the biggest “or else” message is this: “You won’t be happy, so long as you feel anxious or afraid.”
