The Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh writes about something he calls: "inter-being". By this he is referring to the fact that we are all interdependent upon one another. But he also means that we are influenced by everything we experience... TV, movies, music, the people we hang with, etc.

Some things we cannot avoid, such as the stress of a job or being in school. But much can also be controlled. We can choose what movies or TV we watch, what music we listen to, etc.

We can also choose to do things that calm us rather than things that aggravate us. Yes... anxiety can tire us. And the more anxiety we experience, the more fatigue we will feel. After all, if we are experiencing anxiety we are, in a sense, at war within ourselves.
