You can acknowledge them without letting them steer the wheel. I want to invite to explore some real practical techniques rooted in life experience that have helped me manage anxiety during some incredibly difficult times. At one point, I had to 2 maxed-out credit cards, $14,000 in debt, and credit score of 578. It was one of the most stressful and overwhelming periods, of my life. I felt physically- chest pains, heart palpitations, headaches. Anxiety isn't just in the head, it takes a toll on your body, too. That"s why taking care of both your mental and physical health is so important. Now, I've worked my way back.
