Crafting Your Bad Day Playbook: A Lifeline for Anxiety Recovery
“When you accomplish some little things, when you do things proactively and productively instead of just sitting there and just being a passive victim to The Bad Day, when you take the bull by the horns and say: oh, I do this when I have bad days and it doesn't make me feel instantly better, but at least I know I did something and I acted instead of just sitting there.”
Ever had one of those days where anxiety just won't let up? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata gets real about the ups and downs of recovery. He reads a chapter from his book that dives into the inevitable struggles you'll face on your journey to overcoming anxiety.
