Do This When You Feel Anxious

When you feel anxiety, as we said earlier on, it's information saying, hey, pay attention to this. So the first thing is we've got to train ourselves to pay attention to our signals. So people don't like those, they don't want these things, so they want to get rid of those. So the first thing is you've got to look that anxiety in the face. You've got to look that discomfort when you sweat or you vomit or whatever. It's getting the suck out. It's hard. But we've got to develop the ability to be okay with facing the hard stuff. And so we mustn't run away from those signals. We need to face them full on. And that's where we may need the help of a therapist. And I'm all for that, all for the support that we need and to just get perspective and that kind of thing. First thing is to see that that's not bad. If you see anxiety and depression and those things as disease, you don't know what to do with it. But if you see that as, oh, okay, this is telling me something. I'm going to face it. I hate this. I'm crying, it's terrible, but I'm going to face this. I feel anxious. What else do I feel? Where do I feel it in my body? How is it affecting my behaviors at this time? How is it disrupting how I function? How is it disrupting how I'm looking at life in this moment? When I stop and take the time to do that, then I pull this up and then it becomes weakened.
