You have an inner voice, constantly criticising you and telling you you're not good enough. It's time to treat yourself with compassion instead and find your inner cheerleader.
If we always put other people's needs first, we never meet our own needs and we start to feel exhausted and resentful. Learning that it's OK to put your needs first some of the time and say no to others is essential for our wellbeing.
If we don't like ourselves or value ourselves very much, this can hold us back from living our lives the way want to, so finding ways to believe in ourselves is the key to living our lives in the way we choose.
Our minds can get stuck on thoughts that go round and round in our minds but the problem is never solved. Learning to unhook from those thoughts and finding new ways of understanding the problem can free our minds from the loop.
Putting off doing a task by doing anything else leads to even more anxiety and trying to be 'perfect' at it puts even more pressure on yourself. Finding a way to accept that 'good enough' is good enough, will help to break this anxiety cycle.
Anxeity and panic attacks can feel extremely intense and frightening. Having tools to manage the symptoms in the moment and exploring what's behind those feelings can free you from them.
