What kind of anxiety do you have?

DO YOU HAVE GENUINE ANXIETY OR FALSE ANXIETY?

I had both. 

Genuine anxiety (if you didn’t know) refers to a normal emotional response to stress or perceived threat. 

What was I genuinely anxious about? 

My finances (which were always up and down)

My job (which was unstable and chaotic) 

My health (because I was always dealing with something - headaches, back pain, belly pain, jaw pain, unwell, exhausted, just straight up living in struggle town) 

My anxiety levels were constantly 10/10 

Unrelenting

Constant 

Never ending 

BUT 

What I didn’t realise 

Was that all the little things I did every day 

All my little habits 

Were causing me more unnecessary stress and anxiety

WHAT IS FALSE ANXIETY EXACTLY?

False anxiety comes from poor lifestyle choices and habits that activate the bodies stress response unnecessarily fuelling feelings of anxiety that are-not-real

Don't get me wrong, false anxiety still feels very real. 

What kind of habits cause false anxiety? 

• Drinking coffee before breakfast (or drinking in excess)
• Doom scrolling on waking and before bed 
• Doing high intensity exercise at the wrong time in my cycle 
• Anxiously binging on junk food 

(To name just a few)  

And what happened when I changed these habits? 

When I swapped them out for healthy calming habits? 

My anxiety dropped from a 10/10 

To a 3/10 

And while still had things to be genuinely anxious about 

I wasn’t constantly on edge, wound up, stressed out and overwhelmed 

I COULD THINK SO MUCH CLEARER

(which means I could make better decisions about my finances (including stopping anxiously buying clothes online at 9pm on a Saturday night - win win) 

I COULD BE MORE PRESENT

(which means I found it easier to avoid anxious eating and instead ate meals that were balanced and whole (which also helped keep me calm - other win win) 

I COULD SLEEP EASIER

(which means I wake up and do simple mind/body balancing exercises (instead of picking up my phone and bombarding my mind with social media noise) 

So the question is:

Do you have constant fear-based thoughts racing around your head? 

Do you find it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep? 

Do you feel constantly stressed out, overwhelmed or on edge all the time?
