3 Things That Helped Me Overcome Anxiety
If you want to change your life, you have to choose to change your thoughts.
I’m starting this week with positive vibes and sending my vibes to you so that you live happier and healthier every day.
When this year started, one of my goals is to recognize my emotions and acknowledge them even if I can’t do anything at that time.
I’m still a work in progress, it means that I am allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. There is no need to be perfect and do perfect things all the time.
All this while, I was overworked, slept less, and took zero rest time.
It’s unhealthy, but it’s much better than it was a year back. Back then, it was all anxiety-ridden. But that’s how we learn, right?
So if you find yourself in that place of lack…
Instead of thinking about what could go wrong, ask yourself, “What if I were to take a minute to think about what could go right?”
You might just be a couple of tweaks away from a huge change in your life!
1. Abundance mindset
An abundance mindset makes me realize it doesn’t take much to be happy, and everyone has enough in this world to win.
I was raised to believe that there is always competition for everything — study hard, get the highest grade to get a seat in a top university, and work long hours to be worthy of a promotion.
But after reading 100s of self-books and my therapist helped me to realize that feeling good doesn’t require as much achievement or money as I think it did.
And helping others is one of the best ways to live.
What I felt was ultimate, and that has nothing to do with any label or material.
It is a state of mind.
When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
– Tony Robbins
2. Taking care of health
Being healthy and fit is one is the most important goals we all have every year. Want to eat right, and be more active in doing the workout?
But some way down the line we lost the motivation or sometimes life happens and we are all caught up with life’s hustles.
You are not alone in this hustle, I have been there.
Where I felt demotivated, less of interest, and simply just don’t want to work out.
The good day is today and even if you do not know what to do, at least start with a slow walk around your neighborhood, or make use of the treadmill, bicycle, or even Yoga, anything that you have available to you.
The only goal and objective you should have been to move your body for 30 minutes everyday
That helped me to up my fitness game. A little movement every day is all you need to stay fit and healthy.
3. Letting it go
I used to think if I woke up in a bad mood, that was game over. There was no way to recover.
For me, the day was over before it’d even begun.
I would give in to these feelings for a long time and let them derail my day.
You don’t. Of course, you wake up each day with the ambition to do more. You go to bed thinking that today will be the day and you’ll move the needle and some days you do.
I’m aiming for a net positive of better. Taking a day to yourself doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ― Roy T. Bennett
Lastly,
This year and this moment, let go of old emotions, and beliefs and create your own as a human being.
I have also learned that sometimes compassion, kindness, and love come out of places where I least expect them.
You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Someday, we will all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry and fight.
Maybe when that time comes, we’ll be laughing at our old dumb selves realizing how stupid you were to stand up for things we knew weren’t meant for us.
But I guess learning takes time, and mistakes make one journey fun.
