[quote=Anonymous]The world us a stressful place. Every local, national and international tragedy is in our face constantly. Danger, fear and conflict seem omnipresent. Our politicians are useless to make things better. We are overwhelmed by information. Technology and connectivity had led employers to expect more output from employees and to be "on-call" nearly 24/7. The social fabric of our country is being ripped apart by political discord and media that allows people to disagree with one another publicly and sometimes violently. The past 14 years since 9/11 have been full of war and economic and political unrest. Everyone experiences anxiety and it serves an important evolutionary purpose. But we have not adapted to a life with omnipresent stressors and we are not good judges of risk to begin with. When so many things feel like risk/danger, and you feel powerless to change it, it gets harder to cope.[/quote]
