I’m continuing from the previous page…
Most people experience an anxiety symptom and proceed to do their best to “fight” it.
They turn to quick fixes to help themselves.
They take up arms against their anxious minds with “tips and tricks” they find online.
And I’m going to assume you do the same.
For now anyway.
Hey, I used to do the exact same thing.
I’d spend hours Googling about the latest anxiety symptom I was experiencing.
Whether it was chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, you name it, I Googled it.
I went down a rabbit hole that always led me to believe I was suffering from a serious illness or disease!
Can you relate?
Chest pain soon turns into fears of heart attack.
Dizziness, a brain tumor!
I’d always end my panic-fueled research in even more panic than before!
“Hey Tamryn, if you pass out in this store right now, people are going to laugh at you, it’s going to be embarrassing!”
Sometimes though, I’d find some helpful tip that I’d use for a while and it would work… for a while.
Until the next symptom, like the grim reaper himself, appeared at my mental doorstep…
That continued on for years.
Even to the point that I found myself in one of those, extremely impersonal, cold, and tiny walk-in doctors rooms.
I was desperate to escape my symptoms and desperation led me to prescription medication.
But that’s a story for another day.
What I didn’t realize at the time, was that there is a HUGE disconnect between temporary fixes and long term healing.
Temporary fixes being the “tips and tricks” and the many, many medications that promise to heal.
They’re simply bandaids that cover up a bigger problem.
And we all know you can’t wear the same bandaid forever.
The good news is, to live bandaid free, all it takes is one choice:
a) be defined by the you of the past, the one that knows this trick works for this symptom, and that tip works for the other symptom
OR
b) take your power back, break the bonds to the old you and create a new future where you no longer have to find ways to “deal” with anxiety symptoms
Most people choose option A, it’s familiar, and it’s safe.
And I’m not going to lie to you, those who choose option B are choosing the hard road.
When you choose option B, you’re entering a whole new world.
A world where your mind and body is going to feel completely unfamiliar.
Everything inside of you is going to fight you, and scream at you to go back to option A, because the new world is not anything like your old world.
But the new world is so, so, much better.
You may feel like your anxiety has overtaken you so completely that there is no hope for you.
As someone who has been at that low point many times before, let me tell you something… there is hope.
And it starts today.
I’m not going to tell you what option to choose.
You’re the creator of your life.
Choose what makes most sense for you right now.
And if it happens to be option B, then I’ve got something for you.
It all starts with knowing where your anxiety may actually be coming from, and to help you with that, I’ve created a free ebook for you.
It’s aptly titled, “Where is my anxiety coming from? 7 of the most common causes of anxiety”
