In a fast-paced world like ours, there is an increase in daily pressures. Striking a work-life balance needs some serious practice because of the workload in today’s day and age. In a situation like this, there’s one too many who deal with some level of anxiety. It doesn’t have to be clinical anxiety but just feeling burdened with an influx of negative thoughts; all those what-ifs, it can get tough. So in difficult situations that we face at home or at work, not everyone can keep their calm. I personally struggle with that a lot but I knew that I needed to come up with a solution to tackle this very problem of mine. That’s why I turned to realistic and positive phrases that help me get a grip in situations that have the potential to really stress me out.
