Wrestling with Anxiety? Try these techniques!
Anxiety have you in a sleeper hold? I know, mine too! Anxiety has gotten in the way of simple daily tasks including:
- The pile of dishes staring at me as I type this from my kitchen island
- The unanswered work emails market URGENT!!!
- The party I avoided, because people will be there.
- The opportunity of a lifetime I passed on, because I didn’t want to fail
On this episode of Every Day Above Ground, we’re going to pile drive all of this and tackle one by one – except the dishes. My son can do those.
Full disclosure, before we dive in, I am NOT a doctor or a therapist, just a person with some very lived experiences and useful therapy sessions that have helped me pin my anxiety down.
If you’re tired of wrestling with anxiety, I encourage you to join me on this journey where we’ll discuss:
- What anxiety is – and its use (and it does have a place)
- What are some common signs of anxiety
- Ways anxiety stops us from truly living
- Anxiety techniques - helpful ways that don’t involve medication to help begin change the way we manage anxiety
I hope this episode will help someone not only begin to understand their anxiety but how to manage it and begin living life to the fullest, without fear of the next panic attack.
