Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.

Negative thoughts sucks so bad, I used to be such a positive person and slowly working on becoming one again.

"You deserve the same compassion that you would give to someone else"
That made me cry, I needed that.

I'm dealing with anxiety and overthinking and it's affecting my everyday life. I'm 23 and I still don't have a driver's license because i'm scared of driving even though I never even tried driving before but idk i keep thinking about worst case scenarios in my head and I keep thinking to myself why am I like that when I see people around living normally. Just thinking about this makes me tear up. 😞

I’ve always had anxiety but ive started a new job recently and my anxiety has taken over me. Thanks for the information

Recently I’ve been having so many negative thoughts/overthinking and I don’t even feel like myself, I feel out of body. It sucks because I can be having a great time and then they come out of nowhere and I become distant from everyone because I start to second guess every single thing I do. I’ve never been like this and sometimes it makes me feel like I’m going insane because they literally don’t leave my mind. It’s been going on for almost a month, it’s gotten so bad I literally pray at night that whatever is causing me to feel like this stops.

When you accomplish new things or create new experiences in your life, it becomes easier to combat negativity because alot og old negative patterns are engrained in your daily habits and routines. Just like we have action habits.. we have thinking habits too. Sometimes we need new things and new environments to start creating new thinking habitw

Toxic parents
Poverty and being single mum worrying and doing too much on my own
I non stop worry
But u r right the negative thinking started from social media
And then it got stuck and had fear

I’ve started a new job recently, my first job, and I can’t stop thinking about quitting even though I have no reason too. I don’t know why, but it’s starting to bother me and I get anxious when I go. Thanks you for this video!!! <33

watching these kinds of videos in a very vulnerable state of mind rn, but @ 4:13 just made me tear up quite a lot. I really don't think about myself and the compassion and self love I deserve. It's so easy for us to take care of others and be okay with feeling disregarded by our own advice and actions . we truly cant love and advise others without being kind to our own minds first. thank you for such a sweet, simple, and reassuring video. :)
