Self-discipline is something many people wish they had more of, but from Josh and Ella’s experience, people who have tenacious self-discipline can experience anxiety when their inner monologue gets drunk on power and outweighs self-compassion. When we condition our minds into using self-discipline to be productive and achieving results, we must also remember to balance that with moments of pause, reflection, and giving ourselves praise for accomplishments.

Sometimes people don’t like being nice to themselves. Sometimes people don’t know how to accept praise. Anxiety doesn’t manifest in a void. It feeds off of insecurity and trauma that hasn't been assessed. By understanding and accepting ourselves, we create the space we need to reflect on where our anxiety came from. Put your recovery first.
