Some lessons of high anxiety learned this month:
1. There isn't always a sound reason for the anxiety
2. The symptoms do manifest in the physical body
3. Talking does help
4. Listening to advice is important but MORE important is to DO something
5. Breathe deeply
6. Take one moment; one day at a time
7. Tell me to 'get over it' is easier said than done
8. Help me find the humor in the situation
9. Pray for me, hold me, listen to me
10. It is vital to remind myself of truth as anxiety feeds on lies (make a list to combat thoughts of mis-truths)
11. Surround myself with those who will tell me the truth and help me to discern truth
12. Things will get better - with time.
