What does it feel like to recognize you have anxiety? What goes through your head? What happens with your body physically? This week I answer these questions and tell a little about my experience when realizing I had anxiety. I share a part of Sarah Knight's book called Calm The F*uck Down, where she introduces her idea " sleight of mind" that helps me redirect my focus for the day when I'm struggling. Knowing what someone else is going through or realizing you aren't alone if you feel these things is how we start breaking stigmas! Awareness and empathy. Our own stigmas can be a blockade in recognizing that we, or a loved one, needs help for what they are going through. If you're someone who thinks of everything right before you go to bed and can't fall asleep, be sure to listen for this week's activity. I have a good technique that helps me save all those thoughts for morning.
