Did you know that it is possible to not let anxiety, stress, overwhelm or insecurities rule your life?  Did you know that God actually doesn’t want you anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, and insecure? 

 

He actually wants you to walk in peace, enjoying life as you walk out confidently who He made you to be!

 

I remember my senior year of high school. I was so insecure…probably one of the most insecure people you would have ever met. I couldn’t even look people in the eye when talking to them. Every time I walked into a room and people were laughing, I immediately thought they were laughing about me, when in reality, I was probably the last person on their mind. 

 

To say that I was insecure was an understatement. It became a way of life for me to compare myself with everyone I encountered and falling short every time. I was a nobody. I hated everything about myself. This insecurity led to so much anxiety. 

 

Going back to my senior year, anxiety attacks became like a friend to me…not one that I cared for either…I always felt like a thousand pound elephant was sitting on my chest and it was so hard to breathe. 

 

Praise God, I found Jesus when I was a senior in high school, because this became my only hope that things could get better. I learned that I didn’t have to let anxiety, overwhelm, and insecurities run my life anymore. At that time, I couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like to be free…a life of joy and peace and confidence, but I clung tight to that hope. 

 

I am so thankful I did, because even on the hard days, I kept pushing through and I didn’t give up. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was so worth it! At first, there were more bad days than good days. Then the good days started coming a little more. Then over time, the days of anxiety and overwhelm and insecurity were almost obsolete.

 

I would be lying if I said that the anxiety, the overwhelm and the insecurities never come back from time to time, because they do. However, when they do, I go back to these 3 steps that I’m going to share with you this week and next week and do them until those feelings are gone!

 

So how do we kick anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and insecurities to the curb?
