Remember Whac-A-Mole? That arcade game where you hit the moles that popped up with a mallet in a wild anxious frenzy?

To a degree, life can feel like that too. From the second your alarm clock rings, it’s off to the races. You have to brush your teeth and get dressed. Next you get coffee, grab lunch and keys, get kids rushed to school, and then off you go to work.

Think about your day. When do you have a moment to catch your breath? Do you have a moment to check in with yourself?

In a world full of distractions and things that scream for our attention, it’s no wonder anxiety is on the rise.

Anxiety and Teens

For many of us the teenage years were a challenge and stressful. How incredible would it have been to have received guidance? Guidance on how to manage the increased pressure, both academic and social?

Of course, there’s something else. We now have the added element of social media which tugs and nudges at us – sometimes not so subtly. Social media encourages teens (and adults, too) to filter their appearance and purchase things.

Adults and Anxiety

Society presents us with mixed messages.

On one hand, there’s this push toward self-care. Of course, on the other hand, there’s this pull toward constant doing. Actually, the message that you get is that you can do more and squeeze more into your day. Additionally, you should use all these hacks to be more productive and to never stop moving or doing.

Without a grasp on who you are and what you’re looking for in life, it can feel quite overwhelming. Certainly, you try to figure it out without getting totally lost in the process.

Likely, all of us benefit from guidance on how to cope. Especially when we were teens.

Furthermore, getting some psychoeducation about what it is as a teen would of been helpful.

It’s no wonder that many people feel this pressure and feel their chest tighten. Then when your weekend arrives, you have nothing left.

The truth is, most parents have a hard time modeling healthy ways to combat anxiety for their kids.

Maybe you don’t have the time, or have never learned to manage anxiety yourself, and are caught up in it too.

Many of us are buried under layers of stimuli and to-do lists. Next we have to deal with paperwork and problems to solve, while anxiety builds and builds. Then it becomes too much to ignore anymore.

In a world that demands our attention, it’s become harder and harder to get quiet.

Anxiety Treatment

In fact, it’s totally normal to feel stressed, and even a little anxious once in a while.

However, if you experience anxiety often, and feel like it’s impacting your life, reach out for help. Then if you worry that your kids are starting to suffer from it, seek guidance from a therapist for them as well.

Kids are taught all sorts of things in school. Yet unfortunately, many never learn about stress, anxiety, and proper ways to cope. This lack of knowledge leads to issues that, unless addressed, can plague them their whole life.
