Your pesky anxiety is the key to finding what your true talents are

Suffering from anxiety?

Most people make the mistake of trying to only soothe anxiety. Stay with us to discover what your anxiety means, how to harness it and how to translate it to serve yourself and others.

My dear, Radiant Woman,

There's no need to run from the distress anymore. YOU have the power to move mountains. I know it. That power lies right behind your anxieties. And while I know that right now it may feel like you're drowning, trust me when I say that there is much more to distress than initially meets the eye.

Your childhood experiences, especially the struggles in you imprint period (0-7 years of age) may have caused you to suffer some level of anxiety throughout your life. The level and depth of your anxiety is usually tied in with your personality type: all types suffer from anxiety - some more than others - but the main thing to note is that everyone's discord with trust is unique, and the subtleties of it may go undetected for years. The most common way that anxiety manifests is by inability to relax. This can cause you to seek for solace in food, substance, shopping or even overexercising - or one the most dangerous of all habits; chronic sacrificing of your self for the benefit of others. All these habits or patterns are just ways for you to suppress and stay stuck in the psycho-emotional limbo of anxiety stemming most likely from your childhood. This issue is that if we don't harness our childhood anxieties, we never fully actualize as balanced adults. Anxiety may take a form of mistrust in people, unease in certain situations without any real explanation, or even suffering from a continuous sense of suspense, always trying to stay ahead and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

This sense of suspense will hold you back in careers, break down relationships and invite serious health conditions such as heart disease, migraines and type 2 diabetes to mention just a few. Major events, such as moving house, losing a loved one or even changing a job usually highlight our underlying level of anxiety. You know those times, when a change happens, and you feel like things are spiraling out of control? Those are the times that your suppressed anxieties are getting the better of you and the fears you are experiencing can no longer be silenced.

In a nutshell: we don't tend to deal with our distress until it's "on", and by that time it's too late; now it's just a matter of coping with it - or more to the point, fighting hard to not slip into a total disconnect.

Due to my own childhood abuse, I became an expert in moving through anxiety and even utilizing it. I kind of had to. I learnt to deal with the emotional and sexual abuse of my childhood, I taught myself to harness the power of the findings, and begun to apply the transforming methods consistently throughout all areas of my life. Loving myself enough to support myself like this has brought me to my purpose path and a joyous and exciting life, which, frankly, the odds were was never going to happen.

What powers are lying dormant behind your anxieties?

If you are like others that I've worked with, moving throug your anxiety may give you: - A strong sense of belonging

- Solid and respectful relationships - Secure vocational future

- Energetic and expansive creativity, and ability to express your creativity without borders. And much more.

But the first thing you need to realize is that your anxieties are not just a pain to be suppressed. They actually hold a key to who you were born to be fully, and without apologies.

Even though this is not the full process of harnessing your anxieties, you can start with these simple exercises: 1. Next time you feel anxious, write down the occurrence that made you feel that way. Simple as that. By doing this, you begin to shed light on what KINDS of situations get you worried. 

2. Once you have collected some information on the occurrences, and you have gained confidence in the process, you may begin to inspect the essence of the worry. Where in your body do you feel the anticipation of doom and what is your inner dialogue around it? 3. Begin to address those inner dialogues with consistent self parenting. 

4. Release the cellular memory of the trauma through staying with yourself, by utilizing movement and by applying other nurturing sensory experiences (like bathing, eating healthy food and so on).
