Managing Your Anxiety

Work is demanding. We race to meet deadlines, extend ourselves to colleagues, and set ambitious goals. We measure ourselves against metrics, competitors, and even colleagues. Many of us internalize stress and fear of missing the mark, ruminating over presentations, imagining worst-case scenarios, or standing paralyzed by perfectionism.

Anxiety, the most prevalent mental disorder worldwide, manifests differently for everyone based on factors like genetics, chemistry, and environment. However, hypervigilance, worry, and catastrophizing don't have to hold you back. When managed thoughtfully, anxiety can drive you to be more resourceful, productive, and creative, breaking down barriers and forging new bonds with colleagues.

Managing Your Anxiety helps you distinguish stress from anxiety, understand your anxiety, and respond with self-compassion at work. With the latest psychological research and practical advice, you'll learn to:

• Recognize how your anxiety manifests
• Manage it in day-to-day moments and challenging times
• Experiment with mindfulness practices
• Build a support system for long-term management
