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. Hello Ananga, it's good to be with you again for our second Slayer session of the new year. I'm so glad that we had some time off and we're back

again doing our thing. Me too. Just cracking you right up today. We received a great question from one of our

anxiety slayers out in the world and I know that you'll have several ideas and tips to help her through this situation.

So if it's okay with you I'll just go ahead and read the question.

Absolutely.

I was wondering whether you could do a podcast about the feelings you get when you're at the bottom

of the anxiety cycle, when you feel like everything is so big and you are so small, and also

the negative thoughts that come with that too.

Unfortunately I had a little wobble yesterday and felt like it was a punch in the face from anxiety.

Doing okay now I've caught up on the lost sleep from last night but I had almost forgotten

about the feeling when you think you'll never feel better or normal again.

Yeah, that's a very unpleasant place to be in. And the key to dealing with it is to remember what's there in the last sentence

when you forget about the feeling that you think you'll never feel better or normal again,

but you will. And I think that's the power of community and I hope what comes from regular podcasts like this is it's as much about reminding us as it is about offering tours and techniques that help

Reminding us that we all have bad days. We all have days

when we fall off the wagon and we suddenly feel bad. We all have days where anxiety

really can feel like it's punched us in the face. But they pass, they do pass, and whatever progress we've made in dealing

with anxiety is preserved. I think the other thing to remember with anxiety is it can feel like a sudden punch in the face and it can feel like a

bolt from the blue but it really is there's usually something there so it's

always helpful to just look back over the last week or to what's been going on.
