Warning: Audio issues on this podcast! I wasn’t going to share this but 93% of my Instagram followers said that I should (I ran a poll). Other than the slight intermittent static sound overlaying the audio I really enjoyed this podcast! I talk about how I’ve started to notice all of the ways my life has improved from 2.5 years ago and this culminated in playing a full game of country football on the weekend. It was a local derby which happens to be the two towns I grew up in so it was very special to me to play. It also happened to be the oval that I first experience anxiety at in 1994. Returning for the first time, without chronic anxiety, was surreal for me! It’s a long way from the MCG or SCG where I used to play but it doesn’t matter - I felt amazing and had more energy than I’ve had on a football oval since 2002. The methods that I’ve put into practice to fix my anxiety are really paying dividends now and I’m starting to really feel like I’m back to my old self. We finish with a stomach breathing activity
