The Serenity Prayer Can Decrease Stress & Anxiety

1. The Persistent Shadow of Anxiety

• Anxiety is a chronic state of worry and unease that intensifies over time due to ongoing stressors, often lingering much longer than its counterparts, fear and panic.

2. The Sudden Grip of Fear

• Fear manifests as a powerful emotional surge that triggers our primal fight-or-flight response, appearing abruptly in the face of immediate danger and dissipating just as quickly once the threat is gone.

3. The Varied Faces of Stress

• Stress is our body’s reaction to the demands and pressures from our environment, with its onset and duration dependent on the nature of the stressor, ranging from short-lived to persistent challenges.

The phrases from the image suggest a focus on profound understanding, clarity, effectiveness, and the acknowledgment that life’s issues are an ongoing journey, where serenity, courage, and wisdom are fundamental elements to navigate through them.
