Summary

In today's episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit, I wanted to share with you the 8 things I want you to know. You might be wondering, "How does Kimberley know what I need?" You are correct. I really cannot be sure, but I can guess and I wondered if you needed to hear any of these 8 points.
Here they are:
1) It's ok to feel what you are feeling.
You are allowed to feel it all! The good. The bad. The uncomfortable. There is no "right" way to feel.
2) Your thoughts do not define your worth.
Not today. Not tomorrow. This is true for every single person. If you are wondering, "If she only knew how bad my thoughts are." I mean you too. There is no thought that disqualifies you or depletes your worth.
3) There is nothing you need to change.
Nope! You are perfect, even with all of your imperfections. Hey, you are perfect because of your imperfections.
4) You are supported.
Lean on the CBT School Facebook group if you are feeling alone.
5) We will not give up on you.
When I say "we" I actually mean YOU AND ME! I won't give up on you and you can't either.
6) You are enough.
That is all I am going to say. It's a fact!
7) This moment is temporary.
This moment might feel unbearable, I understand. However, please remember that this moment is only here for a moment....and then it passes. No anxiety lasts forever.
8) You deserve love and peace.
You really do deserve love and peace. We all do. If you are having a hard time right now, I am sorry. I wish you love and peace in the little ways and the big.

| 0:00.0 | This is Your Anxiety Toolkit, episode number 136. |
| 0:10.0 | Welcome to Your Anxiety Toolkit. |
| 0:14.0 | I'm your host, Kimberly Quinlan. |
| 0:16.0 | This podcast is fueled by three main goals. |
| 0:19.0 | The first goal is to provide you with some extra tools to |
| 0:22.6 | help you manage your anxiety. Second goal, to inspire you. Anxiety doesn't get to decide how you live |
| 0:29.6 | your life. And number three, and I leave the best for last, is to provide you with one big, |
| 0:35.9 | fat virtual hug, because experiencing anxiety ain't easy. |
| 0:40.6 | If that sounds good to you, let's go. |
| 0:47.6 | Welcome back, lovely, lovely people. |
| 0:51.3 | How are you all? |
| 0:52.5 | It is quite a windy day here. So if you hear any bings and |
| 0:58.0 | funny sounds in the background, that is because we are having crazy, crazy wins here in Los Angeles. |
| 1:04.4 | So bear with me. Okay, today's episode is the eight things you need to know today. |
| 1:14.1 | And the reason I really wanted to share this with you is I have been attending this class |
| 1:19.4 | recently. |
| 1:20.6 | And one of the questions she posed to us is, what is it that you need to hear? |
| 1:26.6 | What is it that you wish could be whispered in your ear every day |
| 1:30.7 | for the rest of your life? And when I journaled on this, it kind of came over me that we all need |
| 1:38.8 | this practice. We all need to stop and ask ourselves, what do I need and what do I need to hear? |
| 1:46.2 | Right. |
| 1:46.7 | So I took a while guess and I picked eight of the things that I thought you needed to hear today. |
