Back to paper

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

People often become helpless while dealing with anxiety. Anxiety can be caused by several factors, some of which can emerge from hypertension, the inability to share one's thoughts, sudden contextual differences, broken relationships, work stress, and so on. The fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, leading to anxiety issues is mostly prevalent among youngsters nowadays. Meditation, physical exercises, and proper sleep cycles, among other such productive habits, can help cure anxiety. Most importantly, one must respect and love oneself, which in turn will help in boosting self-confidence and positive energy. A person can be one's own therapist if he/she sits back for a while contemplating and meditating. A deep breath, a calm mind, and a healthy body helps to inculcate positivity, which otherwise gets cancelled out due to several blocks of negativity created by limited mindsets.
