Jessica Alba know that anxiety doesn’t care the amount of money you have in your bank account, how amazing your body looks, or how many awards you have on a shelf.At least once in their lifetime, humans experience anxiety due to an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

We can all agree that living in concern will not make things better or help us live a healthier and happier life; however, when our uneasiness is uncontrollable, seeking guidance from licensed mental health professionals is an option that we should consider.Living in different circumstances and reflecting on the past, Alba knows that not focusing on her mental health when she was younger was a mistake. “In entertainment, in particular, there’s no amount of success that ever gives you a real foundation or a real place in this industry,” Alba told CNBC. “I put a lot of pressure on myself over the years.

It kept me in this state, almost like a hamster wheel. I [could] never really breakthrough until I understood the core of why I felt that way, and where [it was] coming from.”The 40-year-old California native understands the benefits of therapy; however, she didn’t implement them 20 years ago. “I probably would have worked on myself earlier,” she said. “But it’s almost like you need to go through [those struggles] to understand that it’s not the thing to worry about. [As you get older], you definitely care less about what people think.”According to the actress and businesswoman, therapy helped her to understand what she was made of and all the great things she could accomplish in life.
