Have you ever noticed how many self-help books focus on the latter? When everything starts to get too much, when you start feeling overwhelmed and all your energy seems to be expended only on maintaining this state, then a book will come along that tells you to just shut up and relax.

If I could have a magic wand and show people how to manage their anxiety, it would be something like this:

The perfect relaxation method would involve a variety of activities that require little concentration or activity on your part. It would involve taking a walk, taking a deep breath (using your diaphragm), listening to relaxing music (relaxing with headphones), writing a letter, watching television, reading an interesting book. It would involve not thinking about what might happen next. It would involve doing these things for an extended period of time without any pressure or intervention from outside sources.

What is Anxiety?

A common question that arises from the topic of managing stress is what exactly is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a word used to describe the state of being insecure, worried, or anxious.
It’s not a disease. It’s not a mental illness. It is the emotional reaction to stressors and the natural process that happens when our bodies react to stress.

The emotional response to stressors is what causes anxiety — it’s not caused by anything like an illness. A few years ago, I had a friend ask me this question: “What is Anxiety?” My response was: “Anxiety isn’t something you get sick from or got sick from. You can’t get sick with Anxiety.” If you are suffering from any type of anxiety disorder, then there are many articles on anxiety management and how to cope with it – but these types of articles don’t help people who don’t suffer from any kind of anxiety disorder at all.

The link between Stress and Anxiety can be explained in 2 different ways:

(1) Stress can cause the body to release chemicals which cause a fight-or-flight survival mechanism which puts us into a state of heightened arousal and excitation;

(2) The body interprets these chemicals as coming from another threat (such as an approaching danger), so we respond with an increase in our overall level of arousal and excitation; this causes us to feel nervous or fearful about whatever’s happening around us.

These two concepts are very similar – both involve our bodies releasing chemicals that cause an emotional response in the body – but they have different effects on people who aren’t suffering from any kind of anxiety disorder at all.

Anxiety disorders are listed in chapter 7 of the DSM-5 . The DSM-5 is an American psychiatric diagnostic manual used by doctors throughout North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand for diagnosis purposes.

Just a few of the many other anxiety types listed include: Generalized Anxiety Disorder , Social Phobia , Panic Disorder , GAD – Generalized Anxiety Disorder – Panic Disorder , Separation/Relapse/Recovery From Separation/Relapse/Recovery From Separation/Relapse/Recovery From Separation/

How to deal with Anxiety?

Let’s say you’re a CEO, and you have a team of people to run your business. You do everything possible to achieve your goals. You even spend hours every day at the office working with them, making decisions, and getting things done. But because of your limited time, you’re not able to tackle all problems. You can’t focus on everything at once.

A common problem that people face when it comes to managing their emotions is anger management. If you are an entrepreneur and you find yourself stressed out because of the pressure that comes with running your company, it’s important that you understand how others manage their mental health issues.

People who are highly successful have to have control over their anxiety or they won’t be successful in the long run. This kind of control comes through understanding how to deal with anxiety, how it differs from anger and how those two mental ailments can be treated together instead of being allowed to go in separate directions by themselves.

Anger is a spectrum, which can range from mild to extreme, and can be closely related to physiological states like fear, stress, or even physical pain.

Anxiety is also a spectrum, but it is more specific than anger in that it includes both physical sensations and psychological states (e.g., fear). Fear and anxiety are closely related to one another in that they both correlate with anxiety-like states of mind (e.g., nervousness).

Anger often comes as a reaction to pain or social rejection, while anxiety often comes when something happens to us we didn’t expect or aren’t prepared for (e.g., we get dumped by our boyfriend/girlfriend). The two emotions are related because they are both linked to specific physiological states of the body (e.g., increased heart rate) as well as low self-esteem and low confidence (i.e., feeling afraid/nervous).

The most common form of anxiety is known as “generalized anxiety disorder,” which sometimes refers specifically to “social phobia,” the type which makes you feel uncomfortable around people who do not know you very well (i.e., strangers).

However, it should be noted that this type of anxiety doesn’t necessarily mean that you have social phobia; rather it means that you feel anxious in situations where you have no reason for being anxious at all — e.g., when you are driving on the freeway watching your car speed towards an oncoming car in order to avoid another accident (i.e., panic attacks), or when you see someone who has lost their job and considered suicide but never actually does so because he/she has no reason for doing so (i.e., social phobia).

How does one manage his/her anger? The key thing is decision making . . . How do I make decisions? How do I decide what I want out of life? What do I want from my future? What does my past say about me? Who am I today? What kind of person am I going to become tomorrow? Who am I going to be five years from now?

Anger is one of the strongest emotions that humans have; it is also one of the worst emotions. It can bring a lot more chaos than you initially realized — like a world full of gremlins when you get angry.

Research shows that there are four steps involved in managing anger:

1) Identify it – You need to know what type of anger you have and what triggers it so you can work toward resolving it.

2) Identify its cause – This step may seem easier for some people, but understanding the causes behind anger isn’t easy . . . especially if it comes from bad experiences in other areas of life like family or work . . . or even within yourself . . . like stress from not being able to express your thoughts correctly or from fear that other people will think negatively about your behavior.

3) Process the feelings – After identifying its cause, processing feelings is probably the most difficult step for most people, especially when they feel helpless or inadequate in dealing with this emotion and their choices seem limited (stuck). But once we realize and accept our unhelpful choices and actions — then we can start to change them by thinking through what we could do differently next time and actually taking action on those options instead of rehashing past experiences on why we got angry in the first place!

4) Act on those options—Finally, there are times when at first we may not be able to find an appropriate action we can take to resolve our anger because we don’t understand how or why this happened or how to fix it. But with practice and practice again, you will eventually be able to act on options that are right for you instead of reacting impulsively (which will only bring more problems down upon yourself).

Conclusion

To manage anger and anxiety, you need to understand the root cause of your anger or anxiety and then take corrective measures to reduce it, in this way you

Achmed, who was the greatest living Iraqi philosopher, once said “A man who is afraid to lose his life cannot be called a man.”

Anger can be good or bad. If you find yourself getting angry, with no hope of winning back your anger and your control over it, it may be time to take a look at the root cause of this emotion. In other words, in order to manage anger and anxiety better you need to understand the root cause of your anger or anxiety and then take corrective measures to reduce it. In this way you can begin manage in a more rational fashion.

In any case, there are some very good articles on managing anger and anxiety and I recommend that you read them. For example: “How to Stop Your Anger When You’re Angry” by Stephen D. Covey . Another excellent piece is “How To Handle Anger Effectively” by Dr. John Gottman . A third one is “Reducing Anger (From The Inside Out)” by Rick Hanson .
