Press Release Body: The 21st century has brought with it the spread of advancement
in every facet of our lives. With progression, basic needs have become secondary
and this neurotic desire for improvement over shadows the 'would be' mediocre
aspects of our lives -in particular, our mental wellbeing with regard to stress and
anxiety has gained a greater importance. So how do we identify and cope with anxiety
in a way that does not affect the way ahead? SUTRAT takes a look.

We all experience anxiety in one way or another, almost everyday; and it rears its
head during stressful or potentially stressful situations. The symptoms include but
are not limited to muscular tension, heart rate elevation and fidgeting.

So, if anxiety is - to say the least - undesirable, why is it that we experience
anxiety so regularly, and during significant situations?

Well, studies have shown that anxiety in reasonable quantity is good for us! The
fact is, corporal and logical performance is motivated by anxiety, it fine tunes our
reaction, allows us to think more clearly. This type of stress is known as
"eu-stress".

Contrarily, anxiety in excess creates the feeling of severe harm and stress, known
as "dis-stress". Anxiety may lead to panic attacks which surfaces with symptoms such
as sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, the sensation of choking, abdominal
stress, hot flushes, chest pain, and/or derealisation. Although one may feel as
though he/she is about to die, panic attacks pose no real danger.

Social aspects contribute drastically to the frequency of anxiety. The fast paced
and hectic lifestyles we lead leave little room for harmonization and balance, and
so the likelihood of suffering a panic attack is heightened. Marriage, children,
work and illness all readily add the occurrence of anxiety and panic attacks.

According to SUTRAT, "In order to cope with and minimize anxiety it is essential to
create an effective work / life balance." Yes, in this day and age, we all are
working toward a common goal - the improvement of our lives and that of those who
are closest to us. In order to do this efficiently, we need to ensure that all
aspects of our being, - mental, physical and spiritual - are nourished; says SUTRAT.
