Whether we are suffering from severe anxiety, or a less intense but underlying sense of discomfort and stress, we all have something in common. We want to feel better. We want to stop the vicious cycle of anxiety, fear, and worry.

Here is the good news: Greatness is our birthright, and YOU are special in every way imaginable. Even better news? If you are someone who experiences more than the average amount of anxiety, you are full of potential for greatness. You may be wondering why, well, here are just a few reasons:

And of course you are…these are anxious times we are living in. It is difficult to know when to stop worrying. The world has gotten much smaller as a result of all the social media and access to information on a daily, if not hourly basis. These are real, big, scary issues we are facing as a world. The Ebola virus is absolutely fear inducing to all of us, the ISIS crisis, which is beyond horrific and completely beyond comprehension. The instability in the Middle East, the financial vulnerability of Europe, and then there is the volatility of the stock market.
