Living Confidently With Anxiety

3 tips on overcoming your cleaning anxiety 🤠👉 My specific "Cleaning Goblin" is laundry. We have a love hate relationship...I hate to do it and I'd love to avoid it. Everytime I saw my months old baskets I was hit with a wave of guilt, shame, stress, and was overwhelmed with anxiety and executive dysfunction because I truly WANTED to put it away....but it was just SO MUCH mental energy to do so. Getting started and taking that first step was the hardest. I realized once I was doing it, it was easier than my brain made it out to be and I now feel SO RELIEVED and accomplished. Let me share the things that helped me get over that cleaning anxiety hump and initiate that change. 🤠 tip 1 👉 play something in the background! Whether it is TV, Netflix, music, or a podcast, having something playing really helped distract my brain and made the less than exciting task more enjoyable 🤠 tip 2 👉 play dress up! I wanted to make cleaning fun and enjoyable so I got dressed in something comfy, did my hair, makeup, and designated this Halloween crown as my "cleaning crown". You see, I love wearing this crown and so I am motivating myself to clean by making a positive incentive of only wearing this crown when I'm cleaning. Because I am ROYALTY and I was going to defeat the Laundry Goblin and bring back my kingdom! (aka my bedroom which was runneth over with clothes) 🤠 tip 3 👉 phone a friend! get a body double We all need help sometimes, I found that having someone else around, just BEING there, really helped me get done what I needed to and FEEL better. Whether it is family, a friend, a pet in the room, on the phone, or video chat... them being around in real time helped bring out my inner magic to conquer my cleaning quest! 🤠 👉What tips do you recommend for dealing cleaning anxiety? #lcwa #livingconfidentlywithanxiety #anxiety #cleaninganxiety #anxious #adhd #executivedysfunction #motivation #selfhelp #selfimprovement #tips #cleaningtips #advice #magic #coping #copingskills #bodydoubling #mindset #coach #motivationalcoach

How you going to expect different results doing the same things? If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always had. Change DOESN'T happen over night (though I wish it did) It can be easy to give up in a world where we are trained to expect immediate results and gratification. To beat yourself up in your head. Truth is, the change you want in the future lies in the mundane everyday tasks you do. Create good habits that align with your goals and practice being consistent with it. If you aren't happy with where you are now, ask yourself: 🌱What habits are no longer serving me? 🌱What habits can I create and do that will make me feel better in the future and align with my goals? 🌱What people and resources are out there that can help me? If you are feeling stuck in the same old cycle, and this post resonated with you, then take this as a sign you might be struggling with old habits and that positive change is on its way to you now! #motivation #motivational #lcwa #livingconfidentlywithanxiety #confidence #anxiety #habit #habits #mindset #change #changeisgood #changemindset #selfhelp #selfimprovement #personaldevelopment #life #love #quotes #quoteoftheday

Are you tired of battling your mental health? In the United States nearly one in five adults are living with mental illness, that's over 52.9 MILLION people. So if you are struggling, know you are not alone (though our brains like to trick us to think we are) The good news is that you are not stuck like this and it won't be this way for ever! I used to think I'd always struggle with anxiety, like a life sentence. Because I thought change was impossible, I wasn't actively searching for answers and solutions to help! If you think something is impossible, what is the point of trying right? The day I decided enough was enough, I said to myself that if I was going to live then I might as well make my mind a good place to be. That was the turning point for me starting my momentum toward positive change. My mind didn't get that way overnight, so I know the solution won't either. But as soon as you believe and commit your intention to improving your mental health, the hardest part of the battle is over. So think to yourself, is enough enough? Make the decision today to put the work in to make your mind a good place to be.

Anxiety isn't a life sentence, did you know it can go away!? This is something I wish SOMEONE had told me when I was younger Because I used to believe that I'd always have it, and accepted it, I never actively did things to help myself and get rid of it because I BELIEVED IT WASN'T POSSIBLE I didn't get the right help I needed, I didn't try to get better, I didn't work to get better because it felt pointless. Believing things can't change makes you feel powerless, helpless, hopeless, stuck, and just keeps putting fuel on the depression fire! In order for things to change, you have to BELIEVE they can change, because when you believe things can change you can take inspired action and do things with intention When I started to believe that I could help my anxiety, make my mind a better place to be, then all of a sudden I was able to identify so much support all around me and started making moves to align myself with my goal of feeling better So ask yourself, do you believe that change is possible? That you can get better? Change isn't always easy, but I've learned it is always possible. Start and assess your thoughts, because the first step toward living a better life is seeing what beliefs you hold and reprogramming your mind with empowering beliefs, like believing the cnage you seek is possible Drop a 💛 if you agree! 👇👇👇 #lcwa #livingconfidentlywithanxiety #anxiety #fear #mentalwellness #mentalwellness #anxietyrelief #selfhelp #selfcare #selfdevelopment #selfgrowth #personaldevelopment #change #changemindset #mindset #mindsetiseverything #believe #beliefs #believeyoucan #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #inspiring #inspired #publicspeaker #empower #empowerment #mindsetiseverything #affirmations #takeaction #changemaker #changeisgood

The 4C's of Change: does this apply to you? 1. Career Research indicates that fear of change is one of the single most career limiting moves you can make. Is fear and uncertainty holding you back? 2. Competence You have to believe you have the competence to handle change no matter if it is easy or painful. You must believe you can do it and that it will make you better. Are you afraid to let go of control? Do you believe in yourself? 3. Case You have to be clear on the WHY, why does things need to change? What would happen if they don't? If we understand why change is happening, why it is important, then the less resistance we have and the easier dealing with change becomes. 4. Core Change can make us feel ungrounded. Find your anchor and remind yourself that change won't change what is important to you. Things like your core values, your passions, the people you love. Change is inevitable. What we can do however is make it easier for ourselves! Practice baby steps of change and do small things that you haven't done. I dyed my hair a fantasy color for the first time when I was afraid of doing so before because of fear of judgement and what other people thought. Now I embrace doing things for fun, for me, to make me happy and focusing on that. What is something you are afraid of doing? Is there a change you are avoiding?

I had a panic attack when I felt happy for the first time in a while When you grow accustom to struggle, suffering, negative experience and vibes...you internalize that as feeling normal. Feeling happy was a weird feeling for me that I couldn't identify at first. My nervous system was just like this is new! So that change triggered me because I was so used to feeling like the other shoe was going to drop and my nervous system interpreted the feeling as a potential threat, thus triggered panick. It is okay if you feel this way, have felt this way, or know that if this happens for you in the future, you are ok! The healing journey is all about change and doing uncomfortable things. You didn't get how you have been over night, so your healing won't either. But remember, in order to feel different you have to BE different. Create new habits, new beliefs, new social circles, new ways of thinking. Yes change can be uncomfortable at first, but I promise that feeling is temporary and as long as you keep trying your success at creating the life you want to live is inevitable. 💜Share with a friend to inspire them and tag me to get a special message💜

What I wish you knew... There are nights you cry yourself to sleep. Times when you don't want to die but you don't want to to go on living how you are right now. That yes, you know it *might* be ok eventually, but that you are struggling to get through right now. People say it gets better but nobody ever showed you HOW. I wish you could have known all the struggles before hand, wish you weren't afraid to speak up, to speak OUT. Because our healing ultimately came when the fear of staying silent became worse than living in that state of suffering You are powerful! Though people convinced us otherwise, we never stopped being powerful. Every time we got up when we felt like staying down. Every time we woke up and tried something a little bit different in hopes of a better outcome. The fact that we spent DECADES looking for answers and found hope in our darkest times. THAT is powerful. I wish you knew how powerful you are, always have been, and always will be. Because love, we are in this together even when you forgot and thought you were alone. Even when the sun isn't shining, I am the light, your moon, your stars, the fireflies leading you home in the night. Until you finally see the dawn of the first day of You 2.0 With love, Faith 📸: A picture of 8 year old me in the newspaper at my elementary schools 50 year anniversary dance #notetoself #past #pastself #healing #healingjourney #shadow #shadowwork #light #love #lightworker #spirit #spiritual #spiritguides #angels #universe #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalwellness #anxiety #trauma #traumatic #ptsd #anxious #suffering #selfhelp #empower #empowering #change #bethechange #powerful

How my #randomactofkindness inspired another: Check out my last reel and you'll see I was inspired to leave a random positive note in a @starbucks Well, when I talked to the barista she wanted to know how my insta was doing and told her about the reel I made and showed her the note I was going to plant She absolutely LOVED it, took a picture, and re-hid it for another person to find. I then inspired HER to do a random act of kindness and when I went to pay for my coffee, she told me it was on her and that she hoped I had a good day. If you want more positive people in your life, act more positively and the positive people are attracted to you and your energy! Whatever vibes you want in your life, YOU must first be the change. You become the magnet to what you want to attract in your life. Drop a 💛 if you agree!
