Hi ,

It’s been a long time since I checked in , nothing to say but I’m trying to do my best now and and praying and trying to live with less fear . A wonderful prayer I can suggest to all is the Abundance Prayer , which you can easily find online . Another thing I just thought of to contribute is I had something very important to talk of - kind of a interview over the phone , normally not any problem . Anyways , I had thought too much of this particular topic and when it came to speak I could barely put the words out and explain my version of things . My point here is not to brew about things too much , keep it in perspective and leave it . That was a isolated thing . Have been fine since , speaking is a strong suit .

Hi ghost!!

Welcome back! Thanks for sharing the things that you have been working on and have found helpful. I know you are coming from a place of experience, as one who has come so far and made tons of progress along the journey.

I have heard of the Abundance Prayer, but will look it up again as I can't recall it fully, Gratitude is an amazing tool that we have to help reduce anxiety and increase our feelings of contentment. One doctor who wrote a best seller on self help for anxiety even went so far as to say that we gratitude and anxiety can't coexist in the same space, so there is definitely a lesson there!

As far as the overthinking and resulting trouble you had with speaking goes...been there! I too excel at communication as it is a major component to my vocation...but if I get in my own way (in my head) then I can get tripped up as well. It happens.

Keep up the great work with your management and don't be a stranger!

I think it's great that you're doing the best you can to lower your anxieties via prayer or any other method that helps you, Ghosst8.

Helping yourself is a big part of overcoming anxiety issues.

I'm glad you've checked in for the first time in a while. It's always good to have people who haven't commented here in a long time to come back.
