feeling anxious?

Anxiety is excessive and pervasive worry that disrupts a person’s work, school, family or social life.  Symptoms of anxiety include feeling restless, irritable or wound-up; having trouble sleeping; feeling muscle and general body tension; and having difficulty concentrating.  Anxiety can arise from a number of triggers including social interactions, personal problems, or an atmosphere of uncertainty.  

The United States, Florida, and even Tallahassee are going through a period of heightened uncertainty and change.  COVID, unemployment and civil protests can make life suddenly seem unfamiliar and uncertain.  You or someone you know may be experiencing anxiety over what the future holds.  

Anxiety can be successfully minimized through a little extra focus on mindfulness, body sensation awareness, and the reframing of worrisome thoughts.  Anxiety doesn’t have to get in the way of living the full life you want to experience.
