In 2000 the sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman wrote "liquid Modernity" the first book that showed the new face of modern society.
Here's a quote from the book:
"Forms of modern life may differ in quite a few respects – but what unites them all is precisely their fragility, temporariness, vulnerability, and inclination to constant change.
To ‘be modern’ means to modernize – compulsively, obsessively; not so much just ‘to be’, let alone to keep its identity intact, but forever ‘becoming’, avoiding completion, staying undefined."
From the beginning of the Universe, change has been the only constant in life.
However, in modern society, it looks like everything runs faster and changes quicker than ever.
This is one of the reasons we constantly feel an overall feeling of instability and precariousness, and this contributes to creating stress and anxiety and is also one of the primary reasons for emotional disorders today.
Learning to master this "new feeling" is one of the intents of our society. That's why meditation, yoga, and all the practices that are meant to lead us to a higher self-awareness are so popular and critical today.
What anxiety actually is
While stress comes and goes, anxiety is something that can persist.
Whether we have a rational reason or not, for many of us, that sense of pressure and imminent catastrophe that anxiety gives is pretty constant in life.
In fact, despite what people think, stress is a normal part of life.
What is essential is learning to deal with it. If not, it can and to control your entire life, including your emotional and physical health, business, relationship and everything in between.
Dealing with anxiety
Muscle tensions, difficulty in breathing, dry mouth, and palpitations are just some of the most common symptoms of anxiety and chronic stress.
The primary trigger that leads us there is fear.
It's not a case that in a society where chronic stress rises, fear is the most common "virus".
Fear in itself is a healthy emotion, it allows you to get over bad or unhealthy situations, but it can also become a cage if you can not be able to recognize when you have to trust yourself and let it go.
The antidote to melt fear is trust. That's why you need to develop self-trust if you want to overcome stress and anxiety and stay healthy in the modern world.
Rethinking about anxiety
Imagine your stress levels like a bucket of water.
If you keep spilling stressful thoughts into your bucket (even tiny things) over time, it fills up. And one day, the water comes out.
What you need is a bucket with hundreds of precious holes. They reduce your stress level, avoid burnout and maintain mental clarity.
Each of these holes is something you love to do.
It could be yoga, meditation, running, reading, listening to music or everything you enjoy doing.
But what happens when you have insufficient time for yourself? You need to allow the water flow all day long, even if you're at the office, at a conference, you're driving, or you're running to school.
How to cope with anxiety, even when you have no time for yourself
The primary goal in anxiety management is learning to handle it even when you're feeling stressed or tired, or you have no time for a lonely and restorative walk, a yoga session, 15 minutes of meditation, or every practice that allows you to melt the tension.
Letting the wise energy of Crystals and Gemstones helps you is one of the most effective practices that boost you to do that.
Wearing the Crystals that vibes at the frequency you need allows you to be in contact with that vibe all day long, gaining the most long-lasting effects on the spiritual, emotional, and physical level.
Mind that the work you do with crystals and stones cannot replace any medical advice or prescriptions. Rather you can use them as self awakening practice and holistic compendium of every kind of healing journey.
