How to feel less anxious about what is happening to you and around you

Give thanks every day.
I find that the greatest stress reliever in my life is *gratitude*.
P.S. Stop watching/reading/listening to news all the time.
Remember, their job isn't to inform.
Their job is to make money, which they do by getting people to stay tuned.
That, in turn, is done by scaring people and keeping them scared.
Read a book instead.

Great advice. Thank you.

Very true. It's good to keep yourself informed, but spending all your time obsessing over what's happening in the world is what the Germans call "Weltschmerz." Fortunately, the cure is simple: turn off cable news and stop refreshing your news website every 5 minutes.
Unless you're in the path of a hurricane, checking the news 1×/day is plenty, especially if you're already dealing with a big life challenge like a stroke or cancer.
