Takeaways

Anxiety is a result of living in a fast-paced and distracting world that our bodies were not designed for.

Recognizing the signs of anxiety, such as difficulty sleeping, avoidance of intimacy, and numbing behaviors, is crucial for addressing the issue.

Choosing reality and getting connected with trusted individuals who can provide support and guidance are important steps towards healing and finding peace.

Creating a non-anxious life involves intentional planning, setting boundaries, and prioritizing physical, mental, and spiritual health.
