Will anybody talk to me? đ
Anxiety can become a barrier to trying new things. It likes familiarity because familiarity feels safe.
Have you always wanted to try a yoga class? Go wild swimming? Join a local womenâs group? Attend a new class or event?
Anxiety can fill your mind with all sorts of imagined scenarios for not going, tricking you into believing youâre safer staying where you are.
The âwhat ifsâ⌠the âI donât have timeâ⌠and before you know it, youâve frozen and talked yourself out of going.
Instead, you spend time thinking about not going.
You might feel annoyed with yourself, disappointed, embarrassed or sad. Itâs a cycle so many people experience, over and over again. Anxiety gets the upper hand.
The good news is that anxiety doesnât have to make your decisions forever. Every small step you take teaches your brain that new doesnât always mean dangerous. Confidence isnât something you wait for. Itâs something you build by gently doing the things anxiety tells you not to do â¨đâ¨
If this feels familiar, youâre not alone.
Follow along for simple, science-backed tips to help you understand your anxious brain, quiet the overthinking and start doing more of the things that matter to you đŞđź
