Finding Calm in a World of Angst

Finding Calm in a World of Angst

Updated
Feb 25, 2025

Anxiety. It's a word that feels heavier these days, doesn’t it? Whether it’s the rising cost of groceries, the uncertainties surrounding rapid technological advancements like AI, or concerns about our children’s futures, modern life seems to be piling on stress from every angle. If you’re feeling the weight of it all, you’re not alone.

While we can’t wave a magic wand and erase these challenges, we can talk about finding ways to bring moments of calm into our lives. And for many, taking small steps towards mental wellness—like discovering a sense of balance with natural remedies—can make a world of difference. 

The Rising Cost of Groceries 

Let’s start with the obvious. Have you walked into a grocery store recently and been floored by the prices? Eggs, milk, fresh produce—items we used to toss into our carts without much thought—are now putting serious pressure on wallets. According to the Consumer Price Index, food prices have risen nearly 11% in the last year alone. 

When you’re constantly worrying about how to make ends meet, that stress can take a toll. Over time, chronic anxiety not only affects your mental health but also impacts your physical well-being. High cortisol levels, disrupted sleep, and reduced focus are just a few of the ways this kind of stress can spill into daily life.

While budgeting tips and meal planning help, finding a moment to unwind at the end of a stressful day can be equally important. It’s no wonder Green Monké’s balanced THC and CBD drinks are becoming a go-to choice for folks looking to decompress without the side effects of alcohol. 

The Impact of AI on Our Lives 

Another growing source of angst? The rise of artificial intelligence. Sure, AI is exciting and innovative, but it’s also uncharted territory. Headlines about how AI might outpace human intelligence, replace jobs, or make critical errors in industries like healthcare are enough to keep anyone up at night. 

For millennials and Gen X’ers—especially those navigating demanding careers—this added uncertainty can leave you feeling unmoored. Instead of spiraling into a cycle of what-ifs, one way forward is to focus on what we can control. Staying informed, building adaptable skills, and finding outlets for self-care are essential. 

That’s where small rituals come into play. Think of it as reclaiming your peace, one sip at a time. Anecdotally, people who enjoy Green Monké report feeling calmer, more focused, and better able to tackle the big questions without losing perspective. 

Are We Raising Kids in a World Built for Them? 

And then there’s the anxiety every parent carries. Are our children growing up in a world where they can thrive? Concerns range from climate change to increasing competition in education to social media’s impact on mental health. 

Parenting in a world of angst often means juggling two conflicting realities. On the one hand, we want to protect our kids from the stressors we’re feeling. On the other, we need to teach them resilience so they can face an unpredictable future. 

Here’s where self-care for adults is key. To show up for our kids as the calm, steady presence they need, we first have to take care of ourselves. Whether it’s a favorite hobby, a weekly yoga class, or cracking open a can of your favorite Green Monké beverage, these moments of “me time” help us recharge and model balance for our little ones.
