How to Stop Anxiety
Sep 27, 2020
When we are experiencing anxiety, it often means we are focusing on and worrying about things that are out of our control. 2020 has been full of things out of our control, so let's talk about how to soothe ourselves when anxiety starts creeping up and stop it from taking over us!
First, I'll chat about what anxiety is and what can cause it. Then, I'll be sharing with you everything that has worked for me for grounding myself in those moments where anxiety becomes overwhelming.
As always, remember that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Anxiety is not a part of you, it's normal, and it's something we can manage.
How to Stop Anxiety
- Write down the things that you do have right now that make you stable on the most basic survival level. Do you have food, shelter, water, security?
- Then write what you have in terms of physical health. Do you have all five senses? All fingers and toes?
- Next write down your support system- who you have to rely on, your close relationships, friends, family, partner, pets, etc.
Listen to the full episode to hear the rest, as well as what to do when you start having anxiety about never finding love!
