A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM MY TELEPHONE RECOVERY GROUP,,,
anxiety acts in a similar way to a bully in a school-yard,,
any bully gets his/her ""kicks""from your fear and reaction,,
each time you show fear and run away the bully gains more and more power over you,,,
anxiety is exactly the same, ITS power feads off your fear.
this is why we set goals ,to move out of the comfort zone and into the area of the ""bully""and prove to him/herand YOURSELF that you are not afraid any longer.
each time you stay in a situation wher your anxiety rises and say,,
"""I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU""",
the bully loses some of its power and you gain power over it and confidence in yourself,,,
it sometimes helps to give the bully a name,,maybe one you dont like ,or picture it as a grumpy face,,this gives you something to focus on and stops you feeling as if you are fighting with yourself,,,,
HOPE YOU LIKED IT I DID,,,[8D][8D][8D]
""HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS THERE UNDERNEATH THE ANGER AND DESPAIR""
