Anxiety - Emotions

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Tuesday!

This week our theme for the podcast is: Emotions

Emotions can be a tricky thing to navigate and understand, which is why I want to spend some time breaking down how to identify if you are struggling with something specific and my advice on how to tackle it for the better.

Here are some thoughts & encouragement on how to combat tough emotions.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Anxiety is something I struggle with on the daily. And sometimes my anxiety turns into a panic attack and everything feels downhill from there. But it’s not if you can learn how to recover from these feelings.
• First off, anxiety can look different for everyone, but I wanted to highlight a few symptoms that can help you identify if you are struggling with anxiety & maybe don’t know it.
• If you are constantly worrying about everything, you are struggling with anxiety. Not being able to set your worry aside & relax can be very exhausting & press non-stop stress.
• An increase in negativity & irritability can be a que that you are struggling with anxiety. Anxiety can really turn people inward, so thinking that people are against you and seeing everything as dark, negative and hopeless coincides with these feelings.
• Difficulty sleeping is another symptom. Every once in a while not sleeping well is one thing, but if it is happening all the time because you can’t turn your brain off worrying over things is a whole other thing.
• Trouble concentrating is a big one. If you cannot focus on one thing because your brain is going back and forth from thought to thought, then anxiety could definitely be an issue,
• The last one I want to highlight is feeling out of control and sometimes transitioning into uncontrollable panic attacks.
• When you let your anxiety take control of you, you literally are not in control.
• Feeling overwhelmed with so many things to do and not being able to really express how you feel can cause you to experience that out of control feeling.
• Anxiety is manageable, but you have to know you can get through each day if you take it day by day & seek help if you need it.
• Some things that help me manage my anxiety are: find a way to ground yourself/come back to baseline, learn your triggers, keep everything in perspective, focus on the present, focus on what you CAN control and find a distraction.
• Anxiety is normal, nothing you should be ashamed of & again, very manageable.

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
