Беспокойный человек. Как снизить тревожность и меньше волноваться

Actually! 2020!
The book will tell you about such a common phenomenon as anxiety, and teach you how to manage it.
For many people, anxiety becomes a constant life companion. We often worry and worry even when there is no real reason. And we also try to predict the future (and imagine the worst scenarios) and calculate our actions in advance, or, on the contrary, we think about missed opportunities and alternative scenarios for the development of situations. All this takes us a lot of time and mental strength. Constant excitement does not allow you to fully open up, show your best side and realize your potential - both in work and in personal relationships. We cannot become truly productive and successful.
Psychotherapist Stuart Geddes explains the nature of anxiety. It shows that this is a natural mechanism inherent in us by nature. We experience anxiety when confronted with something we perceive as a threat, triggering the ancient fight-or-flight response. The problem is that the dangers that our distant ancestors faced are now gone (in today's world we are unlikely to encounter a predator), but the reactions have survived (including physical ones: tension, redness or nausea).
Cancel anxiety is not possible. It will always be present in our lives to one degree or another. On the one hand, this is not bad: development and transition to a new level is always accompanied by anxiety. But, on the other hand, accepting all the negative manifestations of anxiety and not trying to correct your condition, as well as drowning out anxiety with alcohol, fast food and other bad habits, is also wrong. Geddes calls for a middle option - learning to live with anxiety. To do this, you need to understand yourself, your condition, know what exactly causes the most severe anxiety and in what areas of life anxiety prevails, feel how the “tank is filling up”, and take action even before the cup of patience overflows. But first of all, you need to stop worrying about being worried, because it is normal to feel anxiety.
The book provides specific anti-anxiety tools and techniques that the author himself and his clients have used. They are pretty easy to implement. The author has divided the tools into topics - for general situations, for work and personal life.
By learning to live with anxiety, you are more likely to achieve what you dream of, you can increase productivity, improve communication skills with colleagues and loved ones, learn fight negative stereotypes of thinking that interfere with work and personal life.
