Anxiety: How I Beat It Without Medication
Anxiety is a beast and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I’ve dealt with anxiety for years. I’ve always been a cautious/nervous person, but as I got older, the anxiety started getting worse.

My Favorite Mindfulness Practices

I wanted to dive deeper into that. Mindfulness is being present in the moment. Often life gets us so worked up and it’s hard to focus on the present moment.
