How to overcome anxiety!

How do you overcome feelings of anxiety and overwhelm?

First, you should look to an abundance of diverse sources in order to change how you perceive and relate to reality.

Examples of these sources are things such as self-help books and talking to positive-minded people.

Which self-help books should you read? Well,
If you believe that self-help books are bogus, then you probably won't even take the first step to reading them, which is to acquire them.

I used to think that they were full of bullshyt.
So, I never read them. This was a huge mistake on my part.

There are many popular classics in the genre.
Do a Google search and pick one or more that attract you.

The point is not that everything that is said in these works is gospel, but that certain ideas expressed in certain language will resonate with certain individuals.

The point is that some of these ideas ( which are really just ways of viewing the circumstances of reality ) may be so different to the person comprehending these notions for the first time, then what their go-too response has been for their whole life, that it will be a revelation when it is realized in the mind of the understander.

OK, so what I am writing about is the effect that a negative attitude has on the perception of what is really happening. You take two people, one is a chronic pessimist and the other is a chronic optimist. Now, expose them to the same situation.
