Ep: 23 Anxiety as an emotion not a disorder with Bevan @thewellbeingwhizz

This week I was invited to speak on Bevan’s @thewellbeingwhizz Omnicast Podcast. With mental health conditions increasing worldwide it is more important now than ever to talk and share the truth around this subject from the eyes of each individual…it often gets thrown around anxiety disorder, depression…as if segregated or boxed from another…from my belief this is not at all true, we all experience feelings of anxiety and depression…but it does not mean we are those emotions it means we struggle to manage/detach ourselves from the emotion taking control of our lives.

Through work like Bevan’s @thewellbeingwhizz who helps people to understand the depths of what anxiety is and work through their own feelings of anxiety highlighting the understanding that ‘anxiety’ is as an emotion rather than a disorder - this in itself already sheds a positive light…because what we know about emotions is that they are energy in motion…they come and go…and it is our responsibility to heighten our awareness of our emotions so that we can come to terms with them and start to find our own way to manage them - which is where mindfulness practices come in.

In this episode, I share my story of when ‘anxiety’ was my predominant emotion and I did not even know it…when I was unconscious of my thoughts and feelings which allowed the anxiety to obtain autopilot. I share ways in which I experienced burnout, where my life living in this way was not sustainable nor fulfilling which led me to prioritise my own wellbeing…and here I am today. 

We hope you enjoy this episode, there are definitely lots of laughs in here too! Let us know in the comments below if these stories resonate with you, it is time to speak out safely.
