Getting started2:16
Anxiety is a normal reaction characterized by feelings of fear or apprehension. One of the leading places that individuals will experience anxiety or excessive stress is the workplace. While it is normal to have some fear or feel out of place at work occasionally, it can become a serious problem when the anxiety becomes unmanageable and keeps you from performing your everyday activities.
Anxiety can have a negative impact on your quality of work, work performance, and affect your relationships with colleagues. Identifying your workplace anxiety and learning powerful coping strategies will help you to work with your anxiety, rather than against it.
With this Understanding & Managing Workplace Anxiety course, you will learn resources and effective skills that will help you recognize and manage anxiety in the workplace.

The most common types of anxiety8:16
We all react to stressful situations in different ways. It’s a normal biological reaction to experience anxiety or fear when faced with stressful situations, such as taking a test or making a very important decision.
However, long-lasting feelings of extreme anxiety that interfere with our daily activities may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety cannot be defined as one, isolated condition. It has many faces and can have hundreds of symptoms.
Before you can begin to manage any type of anxiety, it is important to know the common types, symptoms and characteristics of various disorders.

Most common physical symptoms8:04
Anxiety is more than just a feeling; it can be a physical element. It does not only affect us emotionally and cause various mental symptoms, but it can also cause a long list of physical symptoms that can harm us.
Physical symptoms accompanied by anxiety are often mistaken for some other form of physical illness, which can create a dangerous circle of continuous worry over medical concerns.
In order to seek proper treatment for anxiety disorders, it is essential to recognize the physical symptoms as well. Common physical symptoms of anxiety disorders that we will cover here include headaches, nausea, increased heart rate, and muscle cramps.

Common Anxiety Triggers8:11

Anxiety triggers are different for everyone. We will cover here some of the most common triggers encountered by people suffering from anxiety.

The key differences between anxiety and nervousness9:52
Everyone gets nervous when it comes to stressful situations. Nervousness is a natural response to specific, stressful situations, in which this passing worry can be controlled. On the other end, anxiety is not temporary; it goes beyond nervousness with symptoms that can be crippling or debilitating, and typically interfere with our ability to complete certain tasks. Distinguishing between these two stages is a big step in successfully managing anxiety symptoms.

How to recognize if someone is suffering from anxiety8:27
If anxiety does not have a strong impact on your own life, then chances are you at least know someone or work with someone who is affected by it. Many people who suffer from anxiety each day will not exhibit signs of having anxiety, or may not be comfortable with telling the world how they feel.
It can be difficult to see those around you suffering from anxiety, whether it is a close friend, family member, or coworker. Sometimes, it can take someone else to recognize these symptoms in others. Being aware of the signs and symptoms can be a great starting point for helping others get the help they need, in a timely manner.

Key strategies to help you coping with anxiety8:54
Once we have identified what type of anxiety problems we may be facing, we can focus on how to cope with them, and keep them from controlling our everyday life. Coping strategies for anxiety are lifestyle changes that are designed to help you take control, and better manage your anxiety.
Since anxiety and its symptoms will affect everyone differently, so too will the strategies for coping with anxiety.
It is best to find what coping strategies work with YOU. Luckily, there are many treatments, therapies and self-help strategies available to the public that can be customized to your own needs.

Being able to Acknowledge the current situation8:13
There is a common belief that if we ignore our anxieties, they will go away.
Some people will use distracting measures to ignore anxiety, such as reading or cleaning. While this may provide temporary relief, it is a damaging perspective to have.
With anxiety, it is critical to face the truth and acknowledge the problem.
Recognizing that anxieties are present is the first step towards resolving the problem and feeling better. Anxiety will only continue to linger and intensify if it is not addressed.

What can be positive about anxiety6:58
Anxiety is a normal feeling that everyone experiences at some time or another. When we experience overwhelming feelings of extreme anxiety or obsessive thoughts, it may seem impossible to believe that there are positive aspects associated with anxiety.
However, if these feelings are channeled the right way, there are good qualities that one can learn and benefit from. Feelings of fear and anxiety can serve a very important purpose; preparing our body for “flight or fight”.
