Since Doctors in Distress started its annual 5K in May fundraiser four years ago, I made a promise to walk 5K every day of that month. Walking is one of my passions- its how I relax, keep fit and manage pain, however as a busy chief executive, with plenty of meetings and travelling to fit in, it is a time-consuming hobby. When I was a teenager, suggesting a walk to me was almost like swearing and I was very good at avoiding it, but now, walking has become a vital part of my life.

Yes! We can become addicted to worry and anxiety. Simply because without it many of us get the sense that we would become vulnerable to the potential threats coming from the outside, along with illnesses and diseases from the inside. Worry and anxiety become an illusory form of protection from what our ego minds fear the most. We develop this addiction through observation and personal experiences and feed it through the way we rationalize our fears.
