How Do You Get Through Your Anxiety?

 It easy to get caught up in the whirl wind of anxiety, especially during this never ending global pandemic that we are in. For me I a just talking thing one day at a time and push through my anxiety.

I have lived a colorful life, that is the best way that I can describe my hardships. I have always struggled with anxiety coupled with depression. Although, the depression symptoms no long exist, I still struggle with anxiety. I am fighting my way through anxiety with the tools I have. 

I do breathing exercise to center my thoughts and bring a sense of peace and calmness. I also listen to music, gospel, pop and other music. Whatever I am into for that moment that is the type of music that I listen to. As a believer, prayer and fasting is also something that helps my anxiety. Lastly, pushing myself outside my box helps me, I do what I am afraid to do. Facing my fear directly, help me to get through my anxiety. This is not easy to do, but my hunger for growth and progress in my life is the catalyst. I have a need to face my fears no matter how hard or scary it is. I recently started a scary journey of starting a you tube channel, this is yet another example of me doing something outside my comfort zone. I am determined to achieve wellness in my life, and I must achieve this by fighting through my anxiety. These are the tools that works for me, I am curious to know how do you manage your anxiety. Feel free to share your wellness journey.

Staying Positive When All Else Seem To Be Going Wrong.

How Can I Stay Positive When Everything I Going Wrong?

Life is so unexpected and change is unavoidable. Life circumstances are always forcing us to change and grow. Change isn't easy and navigating through life's challenges aren't easy. At time is feel like it's impossible to get through the difficult times. Impossible is a strong word, but that's what many situations feel like. Although, something may seem impossible I think that impossible is too strong of a word to give in to. Impossibility, feels like giving up to me and there are times that I do feel like giving up but I have to remind myself that there is always hope. I have faced many situations that I felt was impossible, and where are those situations now? I got through those impossible situations which is proof that no situation is impossible. Every situation cannot be solved but I believe that for every situation there is some sort of resolution. What that resolution will be, no one really knows, but there will be resolve and peace in the end.  

I talk a lot about thinking positive and always having hope in situations. I do this mainly to encourage myself because I know all too well the pressures of life. Living through abuse, battling depression & anxiety, loosing my beloved grandmother and the struggles of being a stay at home mom. There is no end to the list of hardships of life, the list goes on. I try my best to keep convincing myself everything is going to be alright. The truth, is that it is going to be alright as long as I don't give up on myself. 

I Choose Me!

I choose not to give up on myself because I want to be the best me that I can be. That does not mean that I am going to be perfect, I an far from perfect. Perfection is not my goal, I want to be happy and healthy. Everyone deserves to be happy and healthy. Happiness and good health is not a destination, but it is a daily walk. I will continue to choose myself on this daily walk, I hope that you too find good health and happiness in your journey. 

Has 2020 Got You Down?

 

2020, shocked us all no one could predict what would happen.

This year has been hard for us as a country and as a global community. We are all doing our best to rise above this global pandemic. This Corona virus outbreak has been around for almost a year, and we have no idea on when this virus will disappear. Our daily routines have changed, our complete lives has changed overnight. It's been a whirlwind of events unfolding this year. 

Many people have lost loved ones this year, it has been a difficult year for sure. Never the less, we are still here and life goes on. We are all trying our best, to have positive thoughts and pick up the pieces of heartbreak. Life does have heartbreaks but we are all doing our best to get through it.

As we pick up the pieces together, let us show compassion towards one another. Also, let us show gratitude for the life we have. 

Teach People How To Treat You

 Believe it or not we set a president for how we want to be treated in our relationships.

Whatever we accept and allow others to do to us, will set a president for what will continue to happen. People are creatures of habit, and we can become accustomed to habits very quickly. This is both good and bad like anything else. 

Let me share my story,

I know what it's like to allow people to treat me badly, and that put my life in peril. Giving someone that much control over my life put me in years of unhappiness. I would ask myself why is this happening to me? I was feeling defeated and abused. It took some years for me to learn that no one had the right to treat me badly. In my healing process, I realized my self worth and gained a healthy self-esteem. However, this was only half the battle. I could not go back to the people and situations that broke me. In doing so I set clear boundaries and no longer accept the negative behaviors that broke me. The power belongs to me and it always has, the only way that I can lose my power is if I give it away or allow it to be taken away. 

It is never alright for someone to take away your power. Your physical, emotional, spiritual and overall health matters. It is your right to be happy, safe and healthy, that power belongs to you. At the end of the day, It's your responsibility to teach people hoe to treat you.
