Do you struggle with worry and anxious thoughts?

Are you concerned that you might be headed for a clinical diagnosis, but don’t really want to find out because you’re afraid they might put you on medicine?

Is your loved one in the battle of bullying back the debilitating lies anxiety wields their way each day? Do you worry that you’re not doing the right thing to help them?

You’re not alone.

Practical Ideas for Battling Anxiety on the #MoretoBe #Podcast

 

Did you know that 44% of the women who responded to our More to Be survey confess they struggle with anxiety and worry and 45% are overwhelmed by their responsibilities?

Which is why this episode of the More to Be Podcast is focusing entirely on the real truth about anxiety and practical ideas for battling anxiety.

It is safe to say we’re not living out our faith in the day to day in the way we want it to manifest. Nearly half of our tribe is feeling trapped, overwhelmed, and anxious. And, here’s the scary statistic, sisters — it’s not reflective of just the millennials amongst us because our tribe is made of women primarily in their 40s and 50s. Somehow we’ve crossed the middle-aged mark but haven’t figured out how to live that fully abundant life filled with peace and joy God promises. So what gives? 

What hope is there for us to become anxious-free women who are fulfilled in their present life, especially so that we can model that for the next generation we’re impacting?

I know, deep questions. So today we’re going to dive into practical steps for dealing with our anxiousness and worry.

When I say practical, I don’t just mean read your Bible more and pray, but rather seek out professional help and engage your body in the stewardship of your mental health.

The more we recognize what we can do to reduce our anxiety, the better prepared we’ll be able to help a generation struggling with anxiety and depression.
