In a nutshell, many people live too disconnected, carry too much debt, and live at too fast a pace This kind of lifestyle leads to:
-
Fear: A natural and necessary alarm system that is triggered whenever we feel threatened. This God-given emotion ignites a response to a real or perceived danger. The fear response puts the body on alert to prepare to get away from the danger or the feared person, object, or situation.
-
Worry: Worry is not an emotion but a mental activity that produces anxiety. This is a process that attempts to solve situations that are beyond our control. Instead of praying or simply letting go of things that cannot be controlled, worriers obsess about controlling the problem.
-
Anxiety: Anxiety keeps a person from relaxing or resting. It is a pervasive inner feeling of nervousness, unrest, and uneasiness. Symptoms can include tense feelings, rapid heart beat, dry mouth, increased blood pressure, jumpiness or feeling faint, excessive perspiring, feeling clammy, and anticipation of trouble.
-
Anxiety Disorders: This can be a sudden and unexplained uneasiness that lasts a few hours, or it can be a constant state. Simply wishing the symptoms away will not work. Some forms of troubling anxiety include:
-
Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A chronic tension that manifests itself in many different situations.
-
Phobia: Fear associated with a single object, place, or event.
-
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Fear hidden behind a variety of obsessions and compulsions
-
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Recurring visions, dreams and memories of previous trauma
-
Panic Attack: Being flooded and paralyzed by the fight or flight response
