How the modern world is making you anxious?

 

Did you know that the right amount of anxiety actually helps you? Yes! It does.

But are we maintaining it at the right levels?

Every one of us deals with stress and anxiety on a regular basis in our daily life but we don’t consider getting help hence our brain gets wired for anxiety and this can affect our personal as well as professional lives in long-run. Hence one needs to be aware of the causes of anxiety so that they can either stay away or limit their interaction with such causes.

Ridiculously high standards

People are becoming more and more interested in posting their daily activities on social media and waiting for other’s to appreciate or talk about them. This trend is having a rather nasty effect on people’s self-esteem and is seriously affecting their mental health.

Increasing competition

There is a huge competition in all aspects of life, you’re not going to be relevant in today’s world if you’re not specialized in your relevant field and this constant notion that someone can replace you anytime is making people stressed out and frustrated.

Smart- Technology

Most of us get worried if we don’t find our gadgets or get tensed when they’re not around us. This un-needed attachment to devices brings anxiety and also fear of misusage of data online.

The diversity of people and Information

Due to global village lifestyle, we are required to deal with people and information from all parts of the world. Access to such kind of diversity gives people more chance to learn and hence helps them grow and when there is too much to learn and articulate it becomes stressful and hence leads to anxiety.
