From Worried and Tense To Calm and Confident

Arrow

When all you want is to enjoy the moment, free from worry, living with anxiety is frustrating. Instead of appreciating the small things, enjoying a delicious meal or spending quality time with loved ones, anxiety occupies the mind, putting us on high alert for the next problem.

Anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. There is a better way.

You’ve had enough of anxiety showing up in your body, your relationships, and your work life. It’s time to get to the roots and change anxiety’s limiting narrative. You deserve to feel calm and confident in yourself, not worried to the point of depression.

Transform your outlook with cognitive reframing

Replace: ‘I’m going to mess up this presentation, like I always do’
With: ‘I can’t predict the future. I’ve prepared as much as I can, and I’m capable of meeting this challenge as I’ve met many challenges in the past’

Replace: ‘If I don’t do well I’ll be a total failure’
With: ‘Being a total failure is just a thought. If I don’t do well, I will probably be upset, yes. But I’m doing overall well in life actually, and worst case scenario, I will have another thing to work on. I’m not someone who expects life to be easy. With risk comes reward.’’

Replace: ‘What if something embarrassing happens?’
With: ‘No matter what happens I know how to stay grounded. I’ll survive.’
