So, Now What?

Top five reasons why humans struggle with anxiety:

Ā 

Ā 

1. Overthinking & Future Worries

  • The human brain is wired to anticipate potential threats, but excessive worrying about "what ifs" can create chronic anxiety.
  • Many people struggle to stay present and instead focus on uncertainties they can’t control.

2. Unrealistic Expectations & Perfectionism

  • The pressure to meet high personal or societal standards can make people feel like they are never "good enough."
  • Fear of failure or making mistakes leads to persistent stress and self-doubt.

3. Past Trauma & Unresolved Emotional Pain

  • Anxiety is often rooted in past experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
  • The brain learns to stay on high alert, anticipating similar threats even when they’re no longer present.

4. Biological & Genetic Factors

  • Some people are naturally more prone to anxiety due to genetics, brain chemistry, or hormonal imbalances.
  • Chronic stress can rewire the nervous system, making it harder to regulate emotions.

5. Information Overload & Social Comparisons

  • Constant exposure to bad news, social media, and unrealistic portrayals of life can make people feel inadequate or unsafe.
  • The brain is bombarded with too much stimulation, making it difficult to feel calm and centered.
