Avoiding things that we really don't want to do can unfortunately increase our anxiety around doing those things in the future, like public speaking or attending large social gatherings.

The next time you are facing something you'd rather avoid, try participating in it in a way that works best for you, even if it's in small, bite-sized chunks! • #anxiety #emotions #mindfulness #wellbeing • We have links to more tips available below! • Identifying Your Stressors or Triggers • • Identifying Your Stressors or Triggers • Shrug It Off | Breath Tension Release! • • Shrug It Off | Breath Tension Release! • The Myth of Being Happy All the Time | Embrace a Balanced Life • • The Myth of Being Happy All the Time ... • The Surprising Benefits of Spending Time with an Animal • • The Surprising Benefits of Spending T... • Stress Imagery | How Imagery Can Alleviate Stress • • Stress Imagery | How Imagery Can Al... • The Power of Action | Feel It Do It Anyway! • • The Power of Action | Feel It Do It... • The Reward | How to Motivate Yourself to do the Things You'd Rather Not! • • The Reward | How to Motivate Yourself... • Stop the Struggle | Try this tip to Help with your Emotions • • Stop the Struggle | Try this tip to H... • How to Feel Clean Emotions • • How to Feel Clean Emotions • How to Observe Your Thoughts | A Wellbeing Tip to Try • • How to Observe Your Thoughts | A Well... • Working With Your Energy | Quick Tip • • Working With Your Energy | Quick Tip • Naming the Emotions | A Helpful Tip • • Naming the Emotions | A Helpful Tip • Writing a Completed To Do List • • Writing a Completed To Do List • Just Starting | Finding Ways to Push Through Procrastination! • • Just Starting | Finding Ways to Push ... • Be Aware of Your Negative Bias • • Be Aware of Your Negative Bias • Connecting to Your Body | The Link Between Mind and Body • • Connecting To Your Body | Mindful Living • What Are Your Core Beliefs? • • What Are Your Core Beliefs? • How to Make Yourself 5 to 10% More Comfortable • • How to Make Yourself 5 to 10% More Co... • Microbreaks | The Value of taking a 5-10 minute Break in Your Day • • Microbreaks | The Value of taking a 5... • Stop the Scroll | Being Intentional with Your Spare Time • • Stop the Scroll | Being Intentional w... • If you would like ongoing support, google therapists in your area, or check out online options like https://www.betterhelp.com/
