Happy Self Love Saturday!

How are you guys doing? If you’re on the East Coast I’m sure you’re as happy as I am that we’re having this Indian Summer right now, I’m hope it just keeps going this way!

Today I want to talk to you guys about “Dealing With Anxiety”, before I started my Self Love Journey I used to have terrible anxiety! It felt like nearly everything made me anxious and worried or scared about what was going to happen and my mind always thought the worst. One day I was having a conversation with my nutritionist about how anxious I was and that I needed some help to deal with those feelings and she said, “anxiety is accepting defeat”. These words really hit me in the worst way because I realized that I truly was accepting defeat in all situations. I was worried about something that hadn’t happened and I was creating the worst scenario for myself instead of thinking about the best and coming up with a solution. I didn’t want to be to the type of person who accepted defeat and who gave up on myself before I even started, I had to figure out how to overcome this mindset. I then read the book “How To Stop Worrying and Start Living” which is an amazing book for dealing with anxiety, in this book they talk about thinking about the worst case scenario and then a solution for it. Once you’re prepared, you’ll feel at ease and this is basically the theory that they encourage in this book, to have a solution for everything even if it’s a bad situation, what’re you going to do to get out of it?

When I started to think about solutions to all of my worries my whole life turned around. I found myself to be calmer, and more empowered and whole lot less anxious and that was the biggest relief. Check out my video below, I share a few of my solutions for dealing with anxiety.
