To give you an example of what I'm talking about, one time I obsessed about the arrangement of furniture in my living room for two weeks (trying to get it just right, a symptom of many anxiety disorders), when the real source of my stress was my job, not my furniture.

I have learned to quickly identify the areas of my life that are out of balance and to course correct. Anxiety has not been a problem for me in over 3 years.

So very true. Currently I'm not so anxious because I'm surrounded by people that make me happy.
