Dr. John Delony shares how to build a non-anxious life #anxiety #healing journey

If we're not careful, anxiety becomes an identity, becomes a label, it becomes a way we operate in the world.

If we want to build a non anxious life, there's some core reckonings that we must have with ourselves.

I'll remember this till the day I die. I walked with the family behind closed doors for the last year or so when they first sat down and said, our four year old daughter's been diagnosed with a rare brain cancer and she probably won't be here this time next year. All the way through their memorial service, calling me and asking me we have to pick out a dress she's going to be buried in. How do we pick what songs? Like questions no parents should ever, ever ask. The dad looked at me at the funeral and he said, most people spend their entire life avoiding pain and we weren't given that opportunity and so we had to go straight through it. They held hands and walked straight through the gates of hell.

I'm not even going to compare my life to that in any way because it would be disrespectful.
