Motivation: FREEDOM from Anxiety
Hey y'all. In reflection of July 4th and my own recent experience where I found true freedom from anxiety, let me share something for anyone out there feeling the weight of anxiety on them.
Anxiety is a horrible feeling. Because you start to grow anxiety about that anxiety then get angry, frustrated, even depressed about your anxiety. Tell yourself this: your anxiety comes from past memories or fears. They aren't present with you here in the now. Let go of the past because everything's going to be okay. You are okay at this very moment. Nothing needs to be changed or altered because everything is just fine as it is right now."
YOU are priceless. Cherished. Treasured. So valued and fearfully and wonderfully made. Don't let your path determine your destination. You're uncomfortable in this situation because something is going to change...so accept it and look for what can be instead of what can't.
I found freedom from anxiety by grounding myself in the present; acknowledging that the past has no hold on me and making peace and healing with it. And knowing my worth. Wonderful and blessed reader, don't forget your worth. And your purpose here on this earth. YOU were crafted expertly and there's a reason why you're here. Maybe to be that helper to a certain someone, or to make an advancement on a cause dear to you and other...whatever it is, you matter.
You matter more than your fears, anxiety, insecurities, wordly judgment--YOU ARE PRECIOUS. Keep telling yourself that. Don't isolate yourself. Find someone you trust and love and ask them to tell you something they find admirable in you. Then think about the trait they listed and embrace it! THATS YOUR UNIQUE QUALITY!!
You are loved. Don't forget that either. Turning off the anxiety switch won't make anxiety suddenly vanish, but anxiety won't have ahold on you like it did before. You'll find courage to do/say something you wanted to do. You'll see that you're surrounded by people who actually are consciously aware of who you are/ how you're feeling...you'll appreciate your worth and gain confidence in yourself and in the future. Isn't that a wonderful girft to have? The burden can be lifted. Keep telling yourself that great things have yet to come. And the anxiety will still be lingering around you trying to bog you down, but you become immune to its lies and are FREE!!!
Much love <3
