Anxiety in all Shapes & Sizes
Anxiety comes in all shapes and sizes. It creeps up on you when you wake up in the morning, just trying to get through your day, or at night when all you want to do is rest.
The world is a trigger. Every day, we face triggering moments that lead to anxiety surfacing. Anxiety comes from trying to make the world a comfortable place without any triggers. Instead, if you attempt to find comfort within yourself and walk past all the triggers unbothered, you'll end up suffering less.
Being comfortable in one's own skin can be difficult. Comfort can be confused with confidence, but even the most confident people struggle with feeling good inside themselves.
Paying attention to how you feel around people is very telling. Your body knows what your brain sometimes can't make sense of yet. Sometimes, anxiety can be overwhelming, making you feel like a skeleton trapped inside a restless body. Isolation may seem like an alternative, but it can lead to overthinking and create an unbearable world inside your head. Regarding relationships, quality is more important than quantity—surrounding yourself with people who make you feel comfortable and at ease is essential.
Growing up, we were often surrounded by groups of friends who did things together. It's easy to feel like you must fit into a particular mold to belong. As you age, you discover who you are and what you want from life. This process can be uncomfortable, but it's essential to care for yourself and remember that everyone is just trying to figure it out. No one tells you how uncomfortable that is. You learn to care for yourself because you realize everyone is alone, just trying to figure it out.
