Listen Later

Paramhansa Yogananda once referred to nervousness as “the disease of civilization,” a thought that still resonates today as many grapple with anxiety from modern stressors. He noted that while worry is often linked to specific situations, and anxiety is a broader, ongoing state of unease, nervousness stems from overstimulated nerves.
