KEY TAKEAWAYS  Anine started to experience anxiety in small ways as a child, often freezing in situations where she felt fearful or under pressure, such as performing or at school. Part of the reason Anine followed her career path, into a role with a lot of public speaking, was to face her fears. It did help but she still hadn’t addressed the underlying problem, of what was causing her anxiety. To live life to the fullest we have to keep pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and this means facing our fears. Our body can respond physically when we are not aligned or if we are doing something that we feel we aren’t capable of. Our learnt limiting beliefs, rules and expectations can impact us unconsciously. When we feel anxiety, we need to be curious about it, it’s our body and brain trying to tell us something. Anine made a conscious decision to no longer live in fear and live authentically and this is when her anxiety began to reduce.   BEST MOMENTS  “Everyone has experienced anxiety at some point in their lives, whether it’s small little bits or big traumatic ones” “I don’t like to feel fearful, I like to feel strong” “Feel the fear and do it anyway” “I have to challenge my fear all the time, to live life to the fullest” “It’s really about being curious when anxiety shows up because there’s a message there” “I became so transformed when I found my purpose” VALUABLE RESOURCES Link to download your free report on The 7 Best Motivational Apps That Help You Stick to Your Goals https://findingfreedom.academy/motivateapps If you would like to experience hypnotherapy, please click the link below to book a taster session.
