A Letter to My Anxiety !



 Dear Anxiety,

To be honest, I don’t have any exact reasons to share about why I am writing this piece to you! Consideration is just that I feel as though you belong to me most of the time! Therefore, I start writing to you to share something which I have never talked about before!

 

It’s also true that I can’t remember when you first appeared or not sure why you have chosen me to stick ? But I just wish that you should not be with me as everyone wishes!

 

Today, by writing this letter to you, I would just like to express about the experiences that I have shared as you stick into my life!  As long as my concern puts- The restless nights, over thinking every little thing, the uncertainty, the low self esteem, it’s all you, Anxiety. I still feel you inside of me. But I also feel confident, strong, & beautiful inside & out.

 

There are only a few nice things that I want to say to you. Although, I hate when you are here. But  It also makes me find strength & confidence in myself in a whole new way. I also want to thank you, because of the way you & your buddy depression made me feel, I talk about you a lot & searching positive vibes too. So much that I have made friends. I have people & a self motivational support system that makes sure I’m okay when you come to visit on your own time. In all that you have done to me, you have made me stronger. You have actually made me a fighter & an independent contributor to life.

 

Let me start by saying I am already a Robin Sharma’s fan! Here I just want to put the views of one of my  favourite writers who have written in his book “ The Leader Who Had No Title” ; Regardless of what we do within  the current circumstances of our life, the single most important fact is that we have the power to show leadership. Wherever we are in our career or life, we should always play to our peak abilities. This book shows us how to claim that staggering power, as well as transform our life & the world around us in the process. These are the tactics to become mentally strong & physically tough enough to lead our field.

 

Meanwhile, life is not about the same routine, ups & downs prevail in one’s life. Robin Sharma in his book “Who will Cry When You Die?” also believes that sometimes we should talk to ourselves, where we can’t lie to ourselves, & nobody knows better than us. This helps us to stay true to ourselves. This technique develops us to discover all our strengths & weakness. The journey of our life in different time frames inspires us to move on. Because all experiences, good or bad, will help us to overcome any obstacles or difficulties while moving on!

 

"A cost for not making your story better. And it’s you who will have to pay for it. So decide carefully, what you want. Which story you want to tell.”, Savi Sharma writes in her novel “This Is Not Your Story”. Most of the time,  you don’t talk about yourself but somewhere you narrate, your runway writes you !! So your actions also define you ! This is to you,  dear readers !

 

So Dear readers,

I understand how bizarre this is for you to articulate what I exactly want to talk about ! Apparently, just like most people, there are many, those who knowingly or unknowingly suffer from such problems. If you suffer from anxiety; just know you are not alone. Millions of people are affected by anxiety, just know that it should be obvious, but please stop thinking about what’s stressing you out, that unnecessary panicking.  Do something you absolutely love, which finds happiness to you!

 I write this in hope that many people who have access to such have been able to comprehend and pass on the gratitude, kindness & some love to others around them. People just need you !!

 Finally, I feel the mental health discourse in India has a lot more to work on, in the way to betterment.

 

To sum up, every challenging time in our life brings us an opportunity to learn something which will contribute to identify what we need to change or improve, & grow from it. Also, inspiration can be brought out from anything…just anything…!! This is my shifting perspective about life!

 

Never forget, no problem is bigger than you ; so Keep Muskurana !

 

Now, the comment box is all yours & feel free to share your inputs or feedback!

Thanks for the reading !!
