fear: false evidence appearing real!

Anxiety feels real 😱, even though it may have no basis in reality, arising when we feel activated by a variety of different triggers.

As long as we continue to try to push away, avoid, or ignore our anxiety or panic, it will continue to hold us hostage.

Our experience of anxiety can change only when we learn how to listen to it, understand it, challenge our anxious thoughts, and replace those thoughts with new ones.

Mindfulness is the best technique for managing fear, anxiety, and panic, When we learn through meditation to allow thoughts to pass without believing all we think to be true, our experience of fear will shift! 

Your goal for today is to be present with you thoughts without reacting to them! 💕🌿
