We've been through this obstacle course a thousand times. We know what's coming if we can learn to be present in the obstacle course. 

If you are in an anxiety cycle then you are probably constantly monitoring your every thought and sensation all the time 24/7 and probably doing it through a negative anxious lens. Let's try and change that. 

Whether you work in an office, or are an athlete, a performing artist, this episode will help you. 

We tend to talk to our anxiety in negative fear based ways. We need to start implementing new and more productive self talk. 

I want to share a little about my anxiety journey with you all.
