Going for a walk by myself after 23 years of fear | Anxiety Chats S02E53

Anxiety Chats

This episode is all about the power of hope, determination, and having “never give up” attitude when you live your life as anxious person. Believing that it is possible to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life alongside anxiety.

Today we are reading a truly and inspiring success story from an anonymous person who has struggled with anxiety most of their life. Now 23 years with anxiety holding them back, they finally muster up the courage to go on a walk by themselves – something they’ve never being able to do EVER!

“My anxiety a year ago wouldn’t even let me leave the house or drive a car”. In this story their pride and happiness are absolutely contagious!

To make it even better, I’m joined by the lovely Shawna DeJong to discuss this anonymous story. Shawna, an anxiety advocate who in the past has also suffered with terrible health anxiety. We chat about some of the challenges of overcoming anxiety, and how important those “screw it – let’s just do it” moments are.

This story also reminds us that practicing self-compassion can be hard but never impossible. That’s why it is so necessary to celebrate the victories along the way, after all, every tiny step is a step in the right direction!

Thank you to this anonymous person who shared a story that inspires others to embrace their fears and seize the day!
