Anxiety will always be present because as humans we don’t have the ability to understand everything but you can take action to lower anxiety and increase your resilience when you create a good base with routines and planning

In this episode, Gordon takes an in-depth look at anxiety and shares great advice on how to lower anxiety and stress by taking ownership of the things you can control and your response to situations.
