Breathe. An Anxiety Workbook

Check out "Breathe" my anxiety workbook!

Breathe. One sentence. One that has been a running mantra in my head for years. A word I know better than my own name. When I walk into a room. Breathe. When I talk to someone new. Breathe. When the phone rings. Breathe. When I'm standing in front of a counter trying to order food. Breathe. When I'm afraid of what people are going to say or what they think of me. Breathe. 

Anxiety has shaped my life.

For example, it stopped me from going to college. It stopped me from having healthy relationships and it stopped me from believing in myself. For a really long time, it stopped me from having a life. 

When I was 11 I started having anxiety-induced stomach aches. By 14, I was having panic attacks. At 16 I started to get stress headaches and migraines. At 20, I was borderline agoraphobic. My main coping mechanism was avoidance - avoid, deny, and ignore all of the things that made me anxious and if that didn't work, then I'd eat everything I could get my hands on, play a video game, sleep, and do my best to check out on life. I was miserable for years. I was anxious for years. Years. I couldn't speak up, I couldn't tell people "no", and that led to so many harmful experiences in my life.

I'm not a doctor. I haven't 100% cured my own anxiety but it has gotten better.

My anxiety has gotten so much better.

I can function. I can breathe. (Breathe) I can go weeks without my anxiety rising above a 1 or 2. I run my own business. I've bought my own home. I run an online group of almost 20,000 people. My anxiety isn't gone, but it's also not controlling my life.

My anxiety workbook is a collection of the things I've learned in the last ten years that have helped me truly manage my anxiety. It's full of healthy coping mechanisms and strategies to start facing your anxiety instead of avoiding it. This is not your basic "Go meditate, jog, and start eating healthy" - advice (although I do touch on those things - why they're hard to do when you're anxious and how to try to do them anyway). It does include a lot of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and a mix of a lot of different approaches. There's something for everyone.

The point of this anxiety workbook: Help you to discover healthy coping mechanisms that work for YOU.
