Anxiety affects how you feel, it does not negate your ability or your potential.
Many incredibly successful people struggle with anxiety.
People who are more sensitive and impressionable are, over time, also more changeable.
Everyone has anxiety.Everyone has anxiety.You are not a unicorn.
You are just someone who is more self-aware of what you do and do not want to feel.
Anxiety does not always mean that there is something wrong with your life.
Feeling anxiety intensely makes you more capable of identifying its source and responding to it accordingly.
Anxiety is not a joke, but it is manageable.
Ask anyone who has struggled with it at some point and still been able to thrive.
Trying to figure out how to never feel anxious again is setting yourself up to fail.
Instead, work on being willing to feel anxiety, but keep showing up regardless.
You arentsupposedto be happy all of the time.
Whats most important that you keep doing what you gotta do, even if its uncomfortable.
During any significant period of change in your life, youshouldfeel anxiety.
This means that youre stepping into the unknown.
This is a sign of real progress.
it’s crucial that you employ a whole toolbox of strategies to respond to feeling tense or worried.
you could use your anxiety to your advantage.
That surplus of energy can be used to fuel creativity or motivation to make positive change.
Anxiety is not a crystal ball.
It is not always reflective of reality.
This is absolutely essential to remember.
Your feelings are valid, but they are not always real.
This is not a fundamental flaw, this is how human beings were designed for survival.
Remember this, and cut yourself some slack.
- you oughta connect with the space within you that most people refer to as deep down.
They say: I feel worried, but I know thatdeep down,its all going to be okay.
That deep down place is your center, and it is the truth.
