Redefining Anxiety Book Review

               Redefining Anxiety

               By John Delony

Your anxiety is not just burning you up, it is also burning up your relationship with  your spouse, your kids, and your friends. 

Anxiety is not the problem, it is just a symptom. 

Myth One: anxiety is a disease or genetic condition 

Myth two: anxiety is a medical problem that can only be fixed by a pill. 

  • All that anxiety medicines can do is soften the alarms your body is sending  out, it cannot solve them. 

Myth three: anxiety is your identity or destiny.  

  • Anxiety is not something that you are, it is something that you are going  through. 
  • You are more than your mistakes and failures.  
  • You must decide to work through things instead of dwell on them. 

Myth four: you can have all you want right now. 

  • You cannot do everything and be everything for everyone all the time. 

Slow down and listen to the alarms. When your heart is racing and you’re feeling  anxious, slow down to find out why. What is your body telling you?  

Start a gratitude journal and begin to pray. Gratitude will change your life.  

Prayer reminds us that we are small and God is big. We can only handle what is in  front of us. 

We are not alone, and we need each other. 

Learn to control our thoughts and our actions. Our thoughts will dictate our actions. 

You can’t control what thoughts enter your mind, but you can control the thought  you are going to dwell on. 

Anxiety many times stems from things that you cannot control. 

Process your past hurts and trauma. 

Don’t give your emotions the steering wheel. 

Let your emotions speak to you, but not dictate your life. 

Breathe, eat, exercise, and sleep.  

Learn how to grieve properly. 

Understand the value of the right relationships. You need other people. Loneliness is  will kill you.
