325. 4 ways I deal with anxiety in my 20...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

We all get anxious at times, but what we forget in those moments is that anxiety is just there to protect us, it's trying to do its job, and the more we lean in and play along, the more we start to feel in control again. In today's episode, we break down the four ways I've made my anxiety work for me, including: 

  • Turning anxiety into excitement
  • The certainities list method
  • The personification method 
  • Channeling anxious energy into creative energy + more 

If you're someone who struggles with ongoing anxiety, this episode will hopefully provide you with a new perspective, or at least a refresher on what we do know about the way anxiety effects us. Listen now!
