Many of my clients come to me because they are seeking an answer to this exact question. My response? “Probably because you aren’t doing life right.” I then get a bewildered look paired with, “there’s a “right” way to do life?” Yes, that is if you want to stop feeling anxious, tense, stressed, and overwhelmed all the time.
