Anxious?

Anxiety builds up when an individual starts worrying constantly about the unknown future rather than keeping one’s mind in the present moment. It is natural to be anxious due to one’s insecurities - questions like what will happen? what will be the future like?. But suffering incessantly the unchecked anxiety due to one’s confused emotions fearing the uncertainty of future leads to depression.  The impermanence of events/circumstances that keep on changing from time to time needs to be understood & made the foundation stone of life’s perspective. It shall leave no room for unfounded fears and hence the anxiety & depression. Be aware of the negative emotions; remain engaged in stress relieving activities like meditation; exercise; hobby etc.
