It's been a busy July!!

Full of bravery and fun.

Having moved on from ongoing anxiety it's now my aim to build my confidence in ALL areas if my life.

So in the last couple of weeks I've:

💪 Zip wired off the 250m pier

💪 Went on the ghost train 🤣

💪 Wore a more exposing outfit to the gym - showing off my belly ( yep its an issue )

💪 Attended my first Life Drawing class!

What would you do if you had more confidence?

⭐️Anxiety Tip: The Power Pose to Reduce Anxiety

Standing in a confident stance (hands on hips with legs apart) helps create confidence and reduces anxiety.

If that's not appropriate (it may look a bit funny in the middle of a meeting), then simply lean back in your chair, spreading your arms out behind you or stretch, or slowly lift your hair away from your neck creating an open chest position.

These movements all do the same thing.

They expose your vital organs, which in turn, sends a message to your brain that there's no threat.

Your mind knows you wouldn't expose yourself if there was a threat, you'd shrink down, make yourself small, and protect your organs.

So now your body knows there's no threat, you will start to calm down.

Supercharge this with some positive self talk and you're well on your way to feeling so much better.

If you'd like more tips for effective self-help be sure to follow me.

If you have not written a testimonial after working with me I'd very much appreciate that either on here or even better, on Google.

Your review helps others to have the confidence to book in and we both know how better life is without ongoing anxiety. 💕

You may have a deep fear of being lonely, but even those who don't can feel more anxious when they feel a bit lonely because we are naturally geared up to live in tribes/ communities.

Having deeper connections with people you resonate with is a great way to reduce anxiety and live a more fulfilling life.

Where did you find your tribe?

I was accused recently of not knowing what it's like to have anxiety, and yes, maybe I have forgotten some of the horror, and I do apologise if my posts are too blunt and if they cause offence, it's never my intention to upset anyone.

But I do know anxiety, it played a huge role in my life for too many years.

In 2017, on paper, life was really good, I had a lovely partner, a beautiful home, fantastic children and my own very successful business...

But inside I was in turmoil.

I hit an all time low after years of panic attacks. Daily anxiety and the negative thoughts were so all consuming I found myself wondering around the village at midnight with pills and a bottle of vodka.

I couldn't take it any more. 😢

I hear this so often now as a therapist and it breaks my heart, cos I do remember that feeling, that struggle, every day, having to try and face the world whilst battling the fear inside me.

I remember how my hands would shake all the time! Even at home where I was safe and loved.

I remember calling my mum in tears because I couldn't remember the 5 minute drive to pick Heidi up from school. My heart was racing, I was sweating and I couldn't think which road to take.

I remember sobbing on my bedroom floor as I felt like I was being pulled into a black hole, one I'd never get out of. My only safety holding onto her voice.

I remember worrying what others thought, how they'd feel, what they'd think about me.

I couldn't look people in the eye, I couldn't speak, even my hearing shut off when in social settings.

The floor often moved beneath my feet and when I spiralled I was sure I'd pass out from the dizziness.

All the years I put my anxiety before my children's happiness.

The missed opportunities, the 'No's to ice creams because I couldn't walk up and ask for it!

My regrets and my anger that I didn't get the help I could of had is what makes me post so bluntly at times.

I needed that bluntness. I needed to know the things I now teach.

I can't help with past trauma via a post, but I can pass on some hard facts that play a part in anxiety, and I do this out of love. 💕

I don't want you to waste any more time than has been wasted already.

My approach isn't for everyone and that's ok. If you're ready to hear the hard facts and do what is in your control, then you'll love me. ☺️

If not, that's ok, there's people out there who will be just right for you too.

So I'm sorry if any wording comes across as accusing or harsh, but I also stand by what I share.

I don't have many pictures of me looking anxious cos as we know it's a feeling more than a look, so here's me at the beginning of my journey.

We can all agree that anxiety can easily cost you your health, your freedom and your sanity!

But did you know that it can also cost you money, your career opportunities and all the benefits that go with earning a good salary?

You could be missing out on the life you deserve, all because of a few thinking styles and habits.

My blog on this topic explains more about this.

I have added a link below. Grab a cuppa and take five minutes to read through.

Comment below if you have any questions.

Did you realise there are 5 ways that anxiety is costing you money and the life you deserve? Yes, it’s true. You may think you can’t afford to get help for anxiety and you need to wait for free help from the NHS but the waiting lists are years long and can you afford to wait?

When your heart beats really fast, what thoughts go around your head at that point? 😬

When clients come to me with ongoing anxiety, the first thing we do is identify their unique anxiety pattern.

The unique way you experience anxiety, along with the meaning you put to each body reaction, is what will help us to unpick your anxiety and stop any panic for good.

I have written a blog that explains more about this.

I have added the link below. 👇

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ever wonder why your body reacts the way it does when there's no reason to be scared or worried? The fight flight freeze response is a natural reaction when your body senses a threat. That threat can be physical or emotional.
