Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Well, on March 1st I moved in and it's been one problem after another! First, one couch wouldn't fit up the stairs. Then the first 2 1/2 days I didn't have hot water. As I was unpacking and settling in I found dozens of little issues like a broken doorbell, leaky faucets, etc. and to top it all the plumber that came to fix the hot water heater told me there was exposed asbestos in the basement!
I was very distraught that first week and I finally decided I'm going to move again this summer to get out of this dump. I could have let my anxiety dig into all these big, negative thoughts stirring in my head but instead I accepted my situation and focused on the future and the good things going on in my life. It surprised me how well the acceptance worked.
I highly recommend it!
