Re: How do you guys pro-actively manage anxiety?

While ignoring it or dealing with it may seem like a perfectly acceptable response, and for one that handles anxiety and stress like this, perhaps that is an acceptable response for the time being, but the overwhelming majority of people, at some point in their lives, will experience anxiety that cannot be simply ignored or dealt with as has been discussed when talking about dealing with it by just dealing with it.

Anxiety and stress, when ignored, can lead to serious health issues later down the road such as, but certainly not limited to, depression, insomnia, gastrointestinal problems as well as the possibility of the anxiety triggering the onset of other mental health issues or disorders.

Basically, I respect that some people can deal with anxiety easier than others, but not everyone can and, as our society has evolved/devolved socially, many more are now dealing with chronic anxiety, which is a tell-tale for developing generalized anxiety disorders and beyond.

Study the mind. Our brains are so intimidating to really study at first but once you start finding ways to trick your own brain to control or manage stress, make it easier to learn, learn to read faster and retain written text or audio lessons better than before, and all of this without the need for any additional medication than your daily regimen, you can really open the door to a multitude of possibilities toward improving your own life and other lives around you... just by learning about your own mind and how to better control it.

Just my two cents on handling anxiety just by assuming it will always go away. There may, and likely will, come a day that your brain just doesn't flip the switch like it did before, and having techniques to better deal with situations before they begin will make you appreciate having the ability to do so.
