Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and tranquility in your life

through anxiety release exercises and supportive tools created to slay your anxiety.

Welcome to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shan Vanderleak here with Ananga Severe. We come together weekly on Skype to share

anxiety slayer sessions with you and often answer listener questions from our

inbox and Facebook page and share a powerful collection of techniques to reduce anxiety.

Today we're going to discuss the secret to overcoming anxiety that's seldom talked about.

Welcome, Ananga, it's so good to come back together with you this week to talk about something

really, really important, and that is that if we want to conquer anxiety we really need to cultivate

persistence and patience.

Yeah two things that are very much opposite of anxiety.

Anxiety makes us very restless and unsettled and it makes us question everything,

when will I get better, why am I feeling like this?

There's so many turbulent thoughts running around our heads and it's

very difficult to be patient or stick to anything when you have anxiety messing with your thoughts.

And you'll hear, I know that we've heard many times from our listeners, you know, I've tried that and it doesn't work.

And if you're feeling that way, if you're listening right now and you feel like, well, I've tried the breathing techniques or I've tried tapping or I've tried grounding myself it's not

just trying it once or twice or three times it's choosing something and sticking

with it over and over and over again so that it becomes

something that you really don't even have to think about it, just something that you can

kick into gear when you need it and it will work it does work but

often when we're questioning and then we're giving up

we can't really expect any of the tools and resources that we share to work because we've already left them in the dust.
