Staying CALM during challenging [and sometimes turbulent] times is easier said than done. Whether you live in Europe, Americas, Middle East OR Asia [OR jokingly, even if you live in the high seas in the middle of South China Sea], there are numerous tense situations [call it turmoil to be blunt] BUT that's the least of our concerns because what matters most is our personal life. So, WHEN you get into heated situations, How was it, Remaining Calm When Triggered? If I may guess, a plurality of times, we were unable to retain our consistent CALMNESS, not to our fault BTW.

Add the stresses of our daily life, you will have at hand a hodge-podge of variables that can trigger you away from your CALMNESS anytime [especially at your most unguarded moments]. Coping with family issues like illness, caregiving OR [even, especially] financials, you may likely end up begin to greet each day with apprehension and worry. In other words, you can end up anxious💧💧💧 Psychiatrists tell us that some degree of anxiety is pretty normal [and sometimes necessary, else it may falsely lead you to think that life is a bed of roses]. BUT when anxiety creeps in, it signals us that something is awry OR might need your attention. However, you DON'T want the response to become exaggerated OR to dominate your life.

NOT every anxiety should be passed on as an everyday anxiety. The flip side of everyday anxiety can lead you to worse situations you would have least expected. WHEN you get obsessed about finances to the point WHEN these thoughts would then interfere with your daily life. WHEN you end up with panic attacks WHERE you break out in a sweat, shake and end up with palpitations. WHEN you're terrified of something that DOESN'T pose a threat to you, like that colored RED, and do everything you can to avoid it. WHEN you avoid social situations out of fear that people will laugh at OR judge you😕😕😕 Our takeaway: We may want to begin things by considering WHETHER our anxiety is normal OR whether we have an anxiety disorder which experts define as symptoms that have plagued you for the last recent months.
