Life would be easier without anxiety but it also wouldn’t have anywhere near as much depth. Ever feel like you’re different because you suffer from anxiety? Ever feel like no one understands you and your actions? Are you seeking guidance on how to coexist with the condition or maybe you have a loved one who suffers from anxiety and you would like to understand them better? As you navigate your way through the shedding of old beliefs, old habits and the old you, I am here to aid the uncovering of your new form. The journey will be rocky. It won’t always be pretty but it will be magic and I’m so excited for you. Raise the questions. Awaken your spirit. Set your soul on fire with purpose. And you will walk away belonging. Learn to love yourself wholly and bring your shadow self into light. Discover the endless positives and possibilities of living with anxiety without allowing it the power of taking the driver’s seat. Delve deep into these pages and allow yourself to become completely open-minded and vulnerable and you will unlock a new, brighter perspective of life with anxiety. If nurtured correctly, it can create such awareness that we otherwise wouldn’t have the sense to feel. When you focus your attention, it can be a great gift. This is my story – the journey back to myself. The raw, the real, the messy and the chaos of everyday living with anxiety, written to promote the normalisation of mental health and offer you exactly what you seek. Support, comfort, advice and above all else, a new perspective on life with anxiety. Always remember, YOU ARE NOT ANXIETY.
