Not the Enemy
Labeling anxiety as the problem often is the problem.
It positions anxiety as an enemy to battle. And it will fight back hard.
But what if anxiety isn’t the enemy?
What if it’s just a wave to learn to ride? A weather system to allow to pass.
When we stop fighting, we can start listening. And anxiety becomes a surprisingly wise teacher.
It teaches lessons that we can carry into every part of our lives.
