Break the Cycle

One of the most important steps you can take in your mental health journey is to start looking at your anxiety from a different point of view. A new mindset where you can accept your anxiety for what it is. It may seem like a huge step, but even just acknowledging your anxiety can help in this process. Without recognizing the problem, it will never be solved. Which can turn into an endless cycle of suffering. To break out of this loop you must take that dreaded first step into the unknown and look your anxiety in the eye. In this chapter, We will focus on why you should accept your anxiety and how that is a key part of your mental health journey. We will also discuss one of the practices you can incorporate into your daily life to become more self-aware of your struggles. In turn, both of these mindsets will set you up to be ready to start deliberating the best treatment option for you.
