I have anxiety issues. I Worry a lot. I’m not afraid to admit it.

This post started a while ago because of what I was experiencing personally in my life. Then someone close to me, in fact 2 of them - shared their deep worries and thoughts. And I desperately wanted to help them. Then I realised that I was trying to fix them when there is in fact, nothing wrong with them.

They don’t need my advice. They know what to do. They need a space to be heard.

The only I could do is to write, and keep on writing. And so here are some practical steps to help lessen your worry load, as they did help with mine:

1. Practice Deep Breathing

2. Focus on the present moment

3. Keep a journal

4. Be in Action 

5. Acknowledge your worries

6. Let your worries out into the light.

7. Get physical

8. Take your worries on an adventure

9. Cut yourself some slack

10. Listen to Bob Marley
