bethanestaI have moderate anxiety, it is something I am actively working on recovering and healing from and I am trying to remember to focus on the things I can control and try to let go of the things I cannot control.
I can control:
My sleep routine
How I speak to myself
Who I interact with on social media
The boundaries I set
What I eat and drink
When I ask for help
I cannot control:
Public transport
The number of of people in a place and their volume levels
The weather
What other people think of me
I can try to problem solve, but continuing to go over and over a situation before it happens is only going to stress me out. This is starting to help me and I am noticing a reduction in my stress levels when thinking about going outside.
