Managing Anxiety

Anxiety can feel crippling at times. It can freeze you and stunt your growth. It can keep us stuck in fear, hidden so deep into it that we can't see a way out. 

I've learned that separating myself from this anxiety is important. If I don't identify with the anxiety, then it can just be energy passing through me that I am experiencing. And all energy changes and moves, so the feeling will pass. 

Thinking of myself as the consciousness behind all the thoughts, emotions, and sensations, allows me to give space between who I am and what I'm experiencing. Then I am able to be the observer, feel the anxiety (never say "my anxiety") - and know that it will pass. Acknowledge it and then let it go. Use that space you create to get the power to be stronger than the anxiety, and push on.
