Therapy is a process of acceptance, change, and growth - and is something that can take months, or even years to see tangible results.
Today, remember that even if you don't feel any different, that doesn't necessarily mean you are not already in the process of changing. π

Fact: The hormone release caused by excessive worry and anxiety can wreak havoc on your body, potentially leading to adverse physical reactions like fatigue, headaches, and nausea.
While it may be tough to live in the present moment without worrying about all of life's consequences, sometimes it is simply out of your hands - and that's okay!
Today, our challenge for you is to take some time to think about all of the things that are within your control, and instead focus your time and energy on those!

There's no doubt about it: living with anxiety can be a doozy.
But there are a number easy ways that you minimize the effects of anxiety in your day-to-day life. Here are three that we recommend:
π¨ BREATHE! Certain controlled breathing techniques have been proven to relieve stress, anxiety and panic in a matter of minutes.
πͺ EXERCISE! Working out releases feel-good endorphins and other brain chemicals that promote an overall feeling of well-being.
π€ SLEEP! Being deprived of sleep can create an imbalance in hormone levels that can drive anxiety levels through the roof.

"Therapy is only for people with serious mental issues.β
"People that go to therapy are crazy."
"Therapy is a sign of weakness."
While many people still believe that therapy and counseling is handled in a tiny room, where the patient lies on a leather couch and the psychiatrist sits high on a chair, taking notes, and asking a bunch of questions with the goal of digging up childhood issues that are the cause of the problem - but this is far from the full truth.
