People who struggle with anxiety often have a difficult time with even the simplest of tasks. It’s hard to keep your mind focused enough to accomplish a goal when you feel as though the world around you is going to collapse at any moment. At the very least, it’s just hard to sit in one place attempting to do what it takes to complete a desired chore when you feel like you want to jump out of your own skin.      The following is a priority list of what needs to change in your life, to defeat this insidious anxiety demon. That list includes: Understanding the mind-to-body connection Understanding the nature of the demon inside you Slowing down your body to begin taking control of your life Moving from demon-driven autopilot to productive conscious thought Learning how the demon used your emotions to control you Knowing that your desperation to fix your problem is not mental illness Understanding how the demon turns you into your own internal bully Challenging your routines and embracing change Learning how to establish goals, and the way to achieve them Understanding the concept of positive energy, and how to incorporate it in your life Learning who to accept advice from others, and how to determine if their source is reliable Reaffirming your commitment to your physical health Learning how to live in the moment, and work there Understanding the value of positive people, places, and things Consciously navigating through transitions in your life Learning how to reduce the space of the big world by incorporating “little rooms” into your forward movement Understanding how to keep the gains you are making in your life                     Anxiety is a physical condition first. Then it moves its way into your emotions, and eventually seems to take control of your mind. There is much to learn about the anxiety demon. Though it seems to come from nowhere, it (like any other physical/intellectual/emotional condition) has a path that it follows before it exerts its full influence over you. Understanding the physical connection, and learning how to strengthen your body to resist this internal demonic presence, is crucial to moving forward as a person in control of your body, your mind, and your feelings.      Nothing about anxiety is easy. Inside, it feels as though a demon has taken control of your life. Previously, there was no way out. However, understanding that this is not who you are, but rather an unwanted guest living inside you, helps you understand the nature of the beast. It’s important to know that this is simply something that you have; it is not who you are.      You are more powerful than you think. By learning to attack the demon, you will understand that you are no longer alone. There is a program, and a network always available to help you through what previously held you back. You will no longer be isolated inside a dark and foreboding world. The program in The Fix Your Anxiety Handbook gives you all the resources, and everything you need to defeat the demon. Everything you need to understand this beast that has invaded your life is presented in the book. The program then, provides you with a step by step, actionable format that can help you alleviate this internal nemesis from continuing to infect your world.      The book is written as a journey to help you continue to move through the horrors of anxiety, and into a happy, peaceful, and productive life. It is also written as a self-help book with short, to the point chapters, and action steps are presented at the end of each chapter that tell you exactly what to do to address the topic discussed in that chapter. When you are finished with the book, it will always be available as a reference guide to help you continue to maintain the gains that you have worked so hard to create.           The program in The Fix Your Anxiety Handbook, the second installment in The Fix Yourself Empowerment Series, is not a quick-fix program. It’s an everyday, in-the-moment program, that helps you better understand yourself, and also helps you to formulate and execute a plan that can change your life. Be that person who understands what the anxiety demon does, and what you need to remove it from your world. Anxiety fools you into believing that you are alone, and isolated in the world. This is not the case. All you ever needed was a plan, and the understanding of how to establish a support network to pull you through your misery.      Remember, anxiety is not who you are. It is a condition you have, and one that you are able to defeat. Everything you ever needed has always been inside you. Never forget that. Take a chance on The Fix Your Anxiety Handbook’s program to defeat this demon. It will teach you how to redefine who you are, and keep loving yourself into a new and more exciting life journey. As you do, you will learn to wrap your love around everyone and everything you touch. The Fix Your Anxiety Handbook: https://www.faustruggiero.com
