Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog! You are probably here because you are suffering from anxiety and you are looking for a way out of this crippling situation. Good on you! You have already taken the first step into your new life by looking for help! The fact that you found yourself on this website shows me that you have already understood the single most important fact when it comes to beating anxiety: YOU ARE IN CONTROL. What do I mean by that? It's simple. Everything you believe, everything you feel, is in your control. In contrast to what we feel when we are anxious, i.e. victimised and controlled by fear, everyone of us has the power to change their state of mind at any time. How liberating! How unrealistic, you might think. You won't succeed in continuously taking control of every negative feeling straight away, it is very much a learning process. The same way you taught your brain (subconsciously and unintentionally) for years to feel and react the way you do when you are anxious, the same way you can teach your brain to make you feel powerful and in control. The same principle applies to anxieties rooted in what I call 'outside experiences', i.e. conversations with other people, natural disasters, the loss of a loved one. Independent of whether you have actually experienced a traumatic situation or whether you are simply afraid of experiencing one in the future, you can learn to take control of your fears and replace them with one of my new favourite concepts: TRUST. More on trust and how to use this concept to empower yourself in my next post. You are beautiful, You are safe, You are in control.
