Welcome to the Selfish Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you

and other passionate, dedicated moms, the tools that you need to fill the gap between your

comfort zone and living the life of your dreams. All right, let's get a little bit selfish.

On today's episode, we're going to be talking about how to turn around a tough day.

Maybe you've had one or two.

I know that especially since having a child, my anxiety can just go through the roof some days.

And sometimes it's related to the things that I

have on my list that day. And sometimes it's just related to a bunch of random things and I have a

hard time managing it. So I'm going to talk to you a little bit about my history with nervousness and

anxiety. And I'm going to talk to you about some of the things that work really well for me and

things I've learned over time that really help me turn around my day so that I can get done what I need

to get done every day because let's be honest a lot of times we don't have a lot of options about

what we need to get done every day. So we have to get those critical things done no matter how we're

feeling. And it's so much better if we can get them done, feeling positive and feeling

optimistic. So I want you to be able to take control of your day in spite of your emotions,

in spite of your anxiety, in spite of things that are thrown your way that you have no control over.

So stay tuned as we get ready to talk about the three tips that I want you to use to turn

around any tough day that comes your way.

Okay. So let's just jump into this because it's going to get a little bit raw.

If I'm being honest, I've probably struggled with anxiety my whole life. I used to have all

these stomach problems and I think it was like my late 20s. I started going to all these doctors

and I'm like, what's wrong withs, I started going to all these doctors.
