Hi there! I'm Susan Ellis, a licensed professional counselor based in Germantown, Wisconsin. Today, I want to share with you my personal journey with anxiety and how I learned to free myself with 8 easy steps.


Anxiety can be overwhelming and consuming, but it doesn't have to control your life. These 8 steps helped me manage my anxiety and live a more fulfilling life, and they can help you too.


1. Identify your triggers: Recognize what situations or thoughts trigger your anxiety.


2. Challenge your thoughts: Challenge the negative thoughts that come with your anxiety triggers.


3. Practice mindfulness: Stay present in the moment and avoid getting lost in anxious thoughts.


4. Breathe deeply: Practice deep breathing exercises to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety.


5. Exercise regularly: Exercise helps reduce stress and anxiety by releasing endorphins.


6. Get enough sleep: Sleep is crucial for mental health, and lack of sleep can exacerbate anxiety symptoms.


7. Connect with others: Having a support system is essential for managing anxiety.


8. Seek professional help: Don't hesitate to seek therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety.


By following these steps, I was able to free myself from the grip of anxiety and live a more fulfilling life. I want to encourage you to take action and try these steps yourself. Remember, managing anxiety is a journey, and it takes time and effort to see progress. But with the right tools and mindset, you can learn to free yourself from anxieties and live the life you deserve.
