How to Break Free From Chronic Anxiety - Martha Beck

For those of us with lifelong anxiety, we often don't realise that we are in a perpetual state of anxiety because it's our baseline. It just feels like normal reality. Only when we get out of it do we look back and realise our whole perspective was distorted.

To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤ For me, it wasn’t therapy or meds that helped the most — it was reconnecting with myself. I started using the exercises in Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks, and it made me feel human again. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now! 🙏❤

Ty for dropping this mid anxiety attack

Thank you for this! Currently looking for a community of people focused on this "accepting anxiety" journey. Wonderful timing, great listen

I really like this lady! I can see she is a anxious kind of person. But she has managed to overcome it! Very brave! I also love her personality and energy. No need to mention shes dropping jewels here

Scrolling is our way of shifting from anxiety to curiosity but then we create new anxieties around that.
