Bio

Hi my name is Amy 

I enjoy helping others and learning about human nature in the process. I love swimming and running and my favorite thing ever is a sunset on the beach. I love hot chocolate above anything and my go-to food is sushi. I am a very people's person and i can sit for hours having a conversation about the smallest things. I am very much a brunette, but ive often been told that blonde hair would suite my personality, so just please excuse me if i ask you to explain something again.

Accepting anxiety as a part of your life.

...See more I know, this is a pretty wilds statement. How can I accept something as a part of my life if it literally tries to ruin my life on a daily basis?! Well I've done some thinking. Sometimes bad things happen in your life that you have absolutely no control over, like an accident or a loss. For that you often hear about the 7 stages of grief.  1. Shock 2. Denial 3. Anger  4. Guilt  5. Depression  6. Reconstruction  7. Acceptance  This does fall into the category of grief, but as i was looking i found myself relating to these steps in terms of my anxiety. The only difference is that go through a new episode of anxiety on a daily basis. I came to the conclusion that if a person is able to heal after going through these 7 steps when the go through grief, then I can heal my daily episodes by ensuring that i go through all these steps a day and not get stuck on Anger or Depression. This will allow it to build up, eventually making it worse.  Try doing some self reflection at the end of the day, checking where on the list you got stuck today and try again tomorrow.  You've got this!
