We live in a busy and increasingly stressful world. The pace and complexity of modern life is such that we often over-commit and over-extend ourselves. To cope with the increasing pressure, you have to constantly be on your toes. One rarely has time to stop and think about one's feelings or moods—instead, we just push on. Some cope better than others, and those of us who are prone to anxiety often struggle. In some countries, up to 30% of the population struggles with anxiety disorders.
