Before accepting your anxiety, you should be able to understand it. For that you need to understand yourself totally. What are your positive and negative points. Try to accept what you are not and try to learn maximum from your experiences. When you try to convert your negativity to positive energy, automatically you are accepting your anxiety and you are going to be fine very soon.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
That's a natural law accepted worldwide. Anxiety is never an action, it is always a reaction. Even in cases of anxiety due to no work, sitting idle is the cause of that anxiety. So, acceptance to any kind of anxiety would come when one realises that the cause of the anxiety is also a part of one's life. One should accept and acknowledge the cause(behind the anxiety) and take it like every other thing one has in one's life. Accepting a reaction when you have already accepted the action is easy and very much comprehensible.

Accepting your anxiety happens through a series of steps. You must first understand it. Then you must try to manage it. Managing it and accepting it can come hand-in-hand. However, you may need to manage it before you can accept it.

I don't believe that one can really accept it. Learning to live with it, realizing what coping skills may help you get through it, and understanding how it may effect your life may be things to look into. For example, I do not think that I will ever be able to accept my anxiety. I can, however, steer clear of things that trigger my anxiety and work on self-care to help myself when anxiety sparking moments happen.

There are many ways of dealing with anxiety, but the most effective as noted by experts is breathing. Deep breathing not only enriches the blood and body it soothes the soul. Start simply just letting your diaphragm naturally relax and contract filling your lungs with life-giving air. When you have this under control, there are ways you can time your breaths for desired effects. For example, I find inhaling to a count of four, holding it for another four, then exhaling for another four to be very effective and relaxing; it often puts me to sleep if I'm relaxed enough lol Blessed be

Accepting anxiety can be difficult. Everyone can get anxious about something, people with anxiety just experience it on a deeper level. In my experience, anxiety has helped me to empathize with people when they feel worry. I consider mine as part of who I am and I'd probably be lost without it really, I use the rush of feeling anxious to put energy into my performing. Though anxiety is a burden, it can help you to understand your own emotions and others on a deeper level since when people have anxiety some of them tend to analyze a lot, both when they're worrying, and when they're figuring out ways to cope with anxiety. I hope this makes sense.

You need to have this mindset that you want to help yourself. Focus on your breathing. Breath deeply and exhale slowly. Exhaling is associated with relaxation and practice mindfulness exercises(https://www.7cups.com/exercises/mindfulness566/). Stop overthinking, it is harmful. Write your thoughts down! It will release the pressure you feel and it will help you gain emotional freedom. Take your time and practice when you don't feel anxious to prepare yourself and to raise awareness about the steps you need to take when you actually do experience anxiety. Listen to relaxing music, practice yoga, share with others, you might find out something useful. Take care of yourself!
