One thing my anxiety has taught me is.....
@Laura
One thing my anxiety has taught me is the profound importance of self-compassion and self-care. It's shown me that in the midst of life's challenges and uncertainties, it's okay to prioritize my mental and emotional well-being. Anxiety has reminded me that taking time to understand and nurture my own needs is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. Through its difficult lessons, I've learned to be more patient with myself, to acknowledge that setbacks are a natural part of growth and that seeking support, whether from professionals or loved ones, is a sign of resilience, not inadequacy. In this ongoing journey, I'm learning to turn my anxiety into a teacher, helping me develop greater empathy, resilience, and self-awareness.

To look after my physical and mental well-being. To talk to good family and friends, Therapist and 7 Cups Liseners how I feel . To seek help if it’s unmanageable. Put myself first 😀
@Laura
to appreciate the calm moments
Anxiety has taught me resilience and self-awareness with the ability to know how to set boundaries.
I never took the time to think about this question because I honestly never thought I had anxiety until a month or so ago. Ever since then I’ve been going back through events and statements that happened and are unchangeable but still hold a heavy reminder in my heart.
With that said, it’s brought me to a realization: anxiety has taught me to be more aware…of what and who comes in and what I absorb from it.
@Laura One thing that my anxiety has taught me is that it's okay to feel anxious about something. It reminds you that you may have something to lose. But to try to remember whether what you are thinking about is rational or irrational. A lot of the times some of the things I get anxious about aren't necessarily things that are likely to happen. So having that difference set up in my head is helpful. It has taught me to be patient and to be kind. You never know what someone else is going through.

@Laura
if I don’t take the first step by trying I’m going to be stuck in the same circle.
@Laura
Agreed ...
Don't always listen to your body or your intuition! Sometimes it's just anxiety lol
