Anxiety PSA: a gentle reminder not to judge a book by its cover.
Not even yourself.
If you notice that you’re falling into patterns of people pleasing, seeking attention/external validation, need control, and/or being overly helpful at the expense of your own needs, take a pause to check in with yourself.
What is really going on underneath the coping response?
What can you give yourself at that moment to self soothe the anxiety and honour your own needs?
You deserve it 💜
