Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore

anxiety, panic and PTSD, sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

In today's episode, I want to share some butterfly inspiration that I think will help you reduce your anxiety.

It's getting to be toward the end of the summer here and I have had butterflies come into my awareness in physical ways and in conversation.

And so I thought that I would share with you these two butterflies.

They're actually meditations, but I want you to use them as inspirations in your life.

Butterflies are really lovely, lovely creatures and many people design gardens with special plants and structures just to attract these beautiful creatures.

And with these two meditations or inspirations that I have for you, you'll be able to surround yourself with the butterflies anytime that you go back and listen to these.

Let them inspire you to think about change, beauty, growth and letting go.

These are things that are all so important to anyone who is dealing with any kind of stress or anxiety.

Change, beauty, growth and letting go.

The first one that I have is butterflies and change.

Butterflies make remarkable transformations from larvae to caterpillars and then to their final form.

Learn to embrace change in your own life in this same way.

Celebrate what you have to gain.

Caterpillars may be unaware of what's ahead of them.

However, you can identify the rewards that you want to work for.

You may not see exactly how it will turn out, but imagine how much better you'll feel when you get to these goals.

Or as you begin to work toward them, making small milestones along the way.

Celebrate those milestones.

Next I want you to accept change in your life as inevitable.
