Anxiety
The Other Side of the Coin
Do you feel like your mind is a browser with 50 open tabs and none of them responding? Here, we’ll help you recognize this as a signal: your mind and body are asking you to address unmet needs.
Our method will show you the path to reclaiming calm. Dare to try what fear once blocked and made you waste time—this is your moment to choose freedom over avoidance.
Every day offers space to rebuild self-confidence. You deserve peace, and even if progress seems slow, there’s much to relearn. Your courage will always guide you back to center.
Fixing ANXIETY
There’s a high chance you’re already over-informed about what anxiety is and how to solve it. If so, we’ll save you from reading this entire page.
Overthinking things simply means you have too much time on your hands—and if, even with a packed schedule, you can’t stop worrying about the future, it means your consciousness (subconscious, superconscious, or whatever term a new intellectual/discoverer might use) isn’t satisfied with your job, hobbies, partner, etc.
But don’t worry, everything has a solution. The hardest part is breaking free from social engineering with our therapy method; the relatively easy part is adapting to the current reality where your body and mind will split (metaphorically) to live in balance.
Above all, overthinking means there’s another option—you’re indecisive, and time tells you you’re late. All this turns into anxiety, but your body says do it. To make the best decision, all that’s left is to relearn life.
Anxiety: The Brain’s Alert Mode
Anxiety is like your body’s alarm system, naturally designed to protect you from danger. The problem? It’s triggered even when there’s no lion chasing you—just because you have an unread email or a missed call. Yes, modern reality is disrupting our biological wiring.
If you’re in this state, relax: statistics show anxiety is present in:
– 19% of adults (and growing yearly).
– Women (23%) are more prone than men (14%).
– Young people (18–29 years) are the most affected (30% show symptoms).
– 284 million people live with anxiety (WHO).
It’s normal to feel nervous about tomorrow’s exam, a date, salary, or debts—and then forget about it. But if the worry doesn’t leave your mind, we’re talking about ANXIETY.
Interestingly, statistics show that people over 60 have the lowest anxiety rates—meaning part of the solution lies in the lifestyle of 60 or even 100 years ago. But the complete solution goes back much further, and Therapeutic Tourism teaches and proves how.
Anxiety Symptoms:
Anxiety isn’t just mental—it’s a multisensory spectacle.
Mental Symptoms:
– Racing thoughts (like a TikTok on endless scroll).
– Excessive worry (“What if…?” on loop).
– Trouble focusing (hello, procrastination!).
Physical Symptoms:
– Heart pounding (like seeing your crush).
– Sweating (without being at the gym).
– Tremors, dizziness, or even “brain fog” (Where did I leave my keys… again?).

Why Does It Happen? Causes of Anxiety
Your brain is incredible but dramatic. Common causes:
– Genetics: If your family is “high-strung,” you might’ve inherited the anxiety kit (but it’s more epigenetic than genetic).
– Chronic stress: Work, school, adulting… your brain screams “Enough!”
– Past traumas: Memories that pop up like annoying notifications.
– Biochemical imbalances: Serotonin and GABA (neurotransmitters) sometimes take unannounced vacations.
How to Manage Anxiety: Tips Beyond than "Just Relax"
Here are real (and fun) strategies to calm your overactive brain:
- Breathe Like a Jedi (or at Least a Calm Human)
– 4-7-8 Technique: Inhale (4 sec), hold (7 sec), exhale (8 sec). Repeat until your body realizes you’re *not* on a rescue mission.
- Move (Even If It’s for Snacks)
Exercise releases endorphins (“happy hormones”). No marathon needed—*dancing in your room counts!*
- The Art of Distracting Your Brain
– Play a quick game (Tetris reduces anxiety!).
– Doodle (even if ugly—your mind relaxes!).
- The Power of Acceptance (Without Surrender)
Instead of fighting anxiety, acknowledge it:
– “Oh, hey anxiety… back again? Did you bring popcorn?”
The less you fight it, the faster it gets bored and leaves.
When to Seek Help
If anxiety:
– Disrupts daily life (sleep, work, socializing).
– Brings panic attacks (*extreme fear for no reason*).
– Doesn’t ease with relaxation techniques.
A psychologist or psychiatrist can be your best ally! Therapy (and sometimes medication) can change the game.
Also, don’t wait for severe symptoms—if you’re overthinking, you’re the only one who can shift the game by changing your direction. Anxiety is already mental exhaustion, especially for the future. Your incredible brain is warning you about what it doesn’t want.
You Might Have a Specific Anxiety Type:
– Generalized Anxiety (GAD)
– Social Anxiety
– Social Phobia
– Specific Phobias
– Panic Disorder
– Separation Anxiety
– PTSD
– OCD (now in its own DSM-5 category but related)
– Selective Mutism
– Substance-Induced Anxiety
– Illness Anxiety
Facts about anxiety
New anxiety types (and therapies) will likely emerge in coming years. Psychology has been taught in universities since the late 19th century (depending on location), yet it has never fully “solved” its patients—even today, with more discoveries and technology.
What I mean is: if mental or existential struggles had been widespread 500 years ago, psychology would’ve been a university major long before medicine—or society would’ve demanded more psychologists than farmers.
Or you could try:
– Cognitive-behavioral therapy
– Medication
– Self-care
“Anxiety isn’t you—it’s just a program your brain runs to alert you. You decide whether to close it or minimize it!”
