Hi and welcome to this episode of Keep it Positive Sweeties. Today we are talking about something

that I personally have been really dealing with a lot lately and it is navigating anxiety.

And when I think about anxiety, I think about the scripture, Philippians 4, 6 through 7.

And it says, do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition

with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And in this season of my life, I have been

dealing with a lot of anxiety. So I am super excited to have my therapist, Ms. Delaina Zimmerman,

who is going to have all of us. I'm sure a lot of people are dealing with it in different

ways and you may not even know that you're dealing with it or be able to pinpoint what

is this feeling that I'm feeling. But today we're going to talk about some things and share

some things that I'm going through and that you've helped me with Delaina. So first let's get

into how can people pinpoint what anxiety is? Because I know for me, now that I know what anxiety

is, I'm able to pinpoint it, but I didn't realize I've been having anxiety pretty much on my life,

but I didn't realize it.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

You know, anxiety has now become household language, like it's late person language. It's

really interesting that we're now speaking out of the diagnostic manual, you know, in our homes,

but we used to call anxiety worry. Wow.

That's what our mother's called. That's what our grandmother's saying. You know, I'm worried

about you. Yes, worried. And so anxiety is the response in the body. We fill it in our

body, so we're sure that it's real. And what, in fact, it is a spear. I'm afraid. I'm afraid

that I'm not going to have what I need. I'm afraid that you're not going to have that you need.

I'm afraid that things aren't going to go well in the future.
