    Whether you liked it or not, there was no choice involved with many of the changes 2020-2021 brought on due to COVID-19 -- not to mention any other changes you may have experienced on top of it. Change is a part of life and also a six-letter word that many people with anxiety often go to great lengths to avoid. There’s a lot to be said about the comfort of predictability, I mean you know what you’re getting. Predictability often supersedes the adventure and advantages that come along with change to an anxious person. Change is inevitable in life and having too much resistance makes it even harder. Embracing change can be difficult at first but with time and practice, it can get better. Here are some tips for embracing change:

    SMondays

    This sounds funny but the struggle is real! Many people report their anxiety kicks in around 5pm on Sunday evenings. Anticipation plays a very big role here.

    Road Rage

    I can still remember it like it was yesterday, driving along minding my own business when I looked into my rear-view mirror only to see a man in a white SUV sticking his middle finger up at me. Somehow, I made it through 16 years of driving and briefly living in Long Island (where I was introduced to my horn) without being the recipient of the finger from an aggressive driver.

    The Pusher Parent

    We’ve all seen “that” parent, the one at their child’s sporting event screaming on the bleachers more involved in their child’s performance and game than they are. Or maybe the parent who pushes their child so hard academically that despite good efforts they just can’t reach straight A’s. Yes, we all know “that” parent. “That” parent is a pusher!

    Avoidance

    A long time ago…… A long time ago……. A long time ago………To you the phrase “A long time ago” may mean nothing but to me these four words were repeated about four times out of my mouth during a public speaking class in college before I pushed through the fear and started speaking fluidly! Like many, I was so resentful of that class and would have taken the opportunity to drop it in a second if there was an option. WE ALL HAVE FEARS. Public speaking, sadness, anger, rejection, embarrassment, illness, heights, public places, driving, being alone, socializing, vomit and failure are just a few common fears. With fear and unwanted emotions comes anxiety and distress.

    Love Yourself

    You have to take the good with the bad, that’s life. It will take you on an emotional roller coaster if you let those around you dictate your happiness. I get it, people can be rude, tear others down to build themselves up, expect too much of you, lack empathy or be completely irrational. There’s no sugar coating it, people can really suck. Don’t let these sucky people suck the life out of you. If you live your life honestly and with good intentions, take responsibility for your actions and think about others, there’s no reason to beat yourself up. LOVING YOURSELF IS THE GREATEST MIDDLE FINGER OF ALL TIME. It tells those around you that only YOU define yourself. Learning to love yourself is a journey, but I promise, with work, everyone has the ability to get there.
