Living in the present moment.

Who here suffers from anxiety? *raises hand* I've dealt with anxiety for almost as long as I can remember. In middle school it manifested itself in constant tummy aches and missing lots of school, in high school I learned what an anxiety attack was and to hide out in the girl's bathroom until they passed.There are tons of ways to cope with anxiety and there has been one tiny thing that has been a big help.Living in the moment.Easy to say, yet hard...

Make Your Own Affirmations

In case you didn't know, I love affirmations. I post them daily on facebook and twitter because they have been one of the tools that have really helped me deal with my "stuff".Affirmations encourage positive self-talk.True story.

I'd call myself fat, ugly, and tell myself that no one was going to love me, ever....

Goddess Wisdom: Amphitrite's Story

This too shall pass.
