Anxiety Caring Connection

New understanding

I was always called a worry-wart growing up and I later learned that it was my anxiety displaying its self at a very young age. Listening to this meditation was so eye-opening. Now I realize my anxiety is still based in a place that is worried about the people I love and what may potentially happen in the future.

Honor

I feel anxious because I care. I want to feel connected to others.

Anxiety is normal

Anxiety is normal but through techniques such as breathing, mind power and focusing on the NOW I can overcome and settle it.

Caring and loving myself

I've never heard a take on anxiety like this before. The fact that I don't feel loved is because I don't love myself. Deep down, I don't honor myself. However I am s person that deeply cares and I want to learn how to honor this in myself. Sometimes I shrug it away because it's not very masculine being this way, having such a deep care.

Need for love

Understanding that anxiety stems from the need or desire to be loved is a new concept for me, but totally makes sense. What a brilliant insight! It makes sense how children, who have a very acute awareness of love, can struggle with anxiety.

First day!

I learned I need to focus on me! I need to start somewhere and that is here.

My Anxiety means I care

This is true. I push myself and get stressed because I want to do everything right. Because If I don't then I am a failure. That is why I push myself so hard. But I want to make it stop. This anxiety is wearing me out

I care and want to be loved

The anxiety I cause upon myself is because I want to be loved and I care so much that I make myself anxious when really I should be grateful I have something I care about so much.

New perspective on my anxiety

This meditation is one of the best that I could have come across. I never looked at my anxiety as a strength. The characteristics given to something I struggle with will really help me going forward. Thank you 💜

anxiety

i learned that anxiety comes from caring deep down and i learned to use caring as a strength and not a weakness

Being a caring person

This is the best meditation yet! It has helped me learn where my anxiety comes from and that it isn’t a bad thing to be a caring person. Accepting that’s where it comes from and acknowledging that I just want to be loved by myself and others.

First Day!

My anxiety is at an all time high! I never thought anxiety would have anything with wanting to be loved. I do want that.

First meditation

Anxiety comes from a place of wanting to be loved and cared for by others because I care too much. I need to know that I’m fully loved and cared for by god, but also praise him for the fact that this caring Feature of me has make me who I am today and impacts my friendships/relationships in a positive way!

The source

I learned in today’s session the connection between my anxiety and my desire for everyone around me to be happy. My intentions have always been for everyone around me to be happy and I think over the past year that desire has grown so much with the stress and struggles in my immediate family circle and my desire to always hold the burden for them has manifested into the anxiety I feel today. Realizing that brought a sudden rush of relief.

My anxieties

Anxiety is a very innocent state of being. My anxiety, should get better with this program.

Anxiety

My anxiety is because I care, but conflicting because I care too much. But I need to honor the good side of the caring aspect of me

My anxiety is because I care.

I need to embrace myself and realize that caring is a good quality I have.

It's okay....

It's okay to feel anxious, everything has a purpose and my anxiety serves a purpose, even if I'm not sure what it is right now. That's okay. It's okay to feel anxious, I don't need to stress about being anxious, just be aware I'm feeling it.

Anxiety Caring Connection

I learned that anxiety stems from the fact that we care deeply about things in life, and it’s important to honor that. Honestly found it kind of challenging to really get into this meditation and not get distracted, but I suppose it’s important to honor that because it’s the reality of the situation, just as it’s important to honor anxiety, even though it’s not the most comfortable or uplifting thing to experience.

I’ve learned

I care too much and need to be loved more. I need to intentionally breathe instead of just breathing

Caring

I learned that caring is a good thing and that it makes me stronger.

#jadaspost

I learned that anxiety isn’t something I can get rid of but I have to learn to accept it and deal with it properly

Anxiety and Love

All of us need to be loved. I had never thought about that need being so connected to anxiety. It's sad, heartbreaking really, that our world today is so filled with anxious people. God loves us dearly. I will bask in THAT much more I hope everyone will.

Truth.

I learned to be true to yourself one of the. Many forms of self care one can actively participate in loving oneself

The reason why I worry so much is because I care

I always knew that I cared so much about things but I did not realize that I worry because I care. I feel like somewhere along the way my anxiety took over and made me forget that. I think that I will be able to use anxiety as a powerful weapon positively instead of negatively.

Relieve anxiety

I learned that my anxiety stems from caring and that this is a strength not a weakness. I feel better about myself

Anxiety caring connection

I learned that anxiety does not have to be a bad quality because it is a result of caring. I like being a caring person and I am aware that I care very much about certain things.

With me

Involved yourself took me tinker into the hood of my mind and mind mind

To be loved

I learned that anxiety comes from deep within myself. It is innocent. It is pure. I shouldn’t be mad at myself for it. I shouldn’t scold myself for it. I should honor the innocence and the deep desire to be loved and let it be at that. Pressing on it too much is unhelpful.

1-1-18

Being the new year and all, I decided that I will connect more to myself and help myself become less stressed by being better able to deal with stress and anxiety. This meditation really starts the new year off right since it explains the mindset you should look at anxiety with. It explains how you should look at anxiety as proof that you care, which is a strength and never something you should think of as a weakness. Caring is a natural thing, therefore the feeling of being anxious is okay. Being anxious is not something you should ever beat yourself up about, it is something you should honor, as it is proof that you truly care.

Anxiety caring connection

Little hard to understand voice was muffled. But what I did hear was great message to repeat later.

anxiety

anxiety, you are too much of an enemy rather than a friend. i cannot have too much of you in my life. i will now try to control the grasp you have on me. i will now strive to live with my head up high, not down low, because i am stronger than this. i am much stronger than you. one day, i will look back and bid you goodbye. it is still now a process, but i am growing.

Fidget

I can sit still for three minutes. Too short?! Seriously?! It should be as long as I want it to be. Geez. Way to put the pressure on. Happy?

Anxiety

I learned that I don’t need to be afraid or curious as to why I am experiencing anxiety as it is all down to a human need that we all share. I will refer to my anxiousness in a different light now, and instead of being afraid of it, I will reflect on how much I truly care on the stimulus that has triggered the anxiety.

Anxiety caring connection

I learnt that anxiety comes about through caring deeply, wanting to be loved, wanting that connection.

Session 2

I've realized that my anxiety stems from wanting to be loved. My childhood was not entirely the best one. I care about what others feel too much.

Honoring Feelings

I had been feeling deeply anxious as a result of interactions I had with loved ones. I felt my boundaries weren’t being respected and taken for granted. This meditation allowed me to see the anxiety I was feeling in a different light. I felt the feelings without resisting them and because I learned anxiety is rooted in my need to feel connected to others I could better understand how to improve my interactions and ask for what I need in a calm way rather than out of anger and resentment.

Anxious caring

I learned in today’s session that I’m anxious about being anxious. I care about being anxious so much that it only causes me to be more anxious.

Anxiety

I learned that anxiety is not something to fear but rather to embrace. Anxiety is not a weakness but rather a strength, knowing that I want to be loved and show love in the deepest form. I am not weak, I am strong and I love so deeply.

Anxiety

I learned that if I’m not currently felling anxious, doing a meditation that constantly mentions anxiety doesn’t work for me. Now I’m thinking about things from yesterday that I thought I’d settled.

1.25.18

It is amidst all the chaos when we think we don’t have time to stop and take a breath that we need to the most...

Anxiety

It’s a genuine feeling of wanting to love and be loved. That’s a beautiful way of putting it.

Honoring my anxiety

I have a tendency to attack myself for my anxiety, but this meditation was really helpful in reminding me my anxiety has a purpose and is simply another emotional state.

my anxiety stems from me

i learned that my anxiety stems from my want to be loved. i feel like i try to suppress that feeling and that emotional response all the time but overall i just want to be loved and accepted by people. and i also just care. i care so much sometimes i don’t know how to handle i.t so i just don’t respond. i am one of those people who seem as if they have no real emotions but in reality i probably feel and care the most.

It makes sense

I do care. I care deeply. My anxiety is a result of me caring and wanting to protect. I cannot control everything and I need to have more faith.

We Care a lot

Maybe I wouldn’t be as anxious if I didn’t care as much. That rings true for me with so many of today’s issues. It would be healthier if I picked less battles. I need to put my own oxygen mask on by fighting more for myself.

Caring and anxiety

I learned that because I care I am anxious. This practice helped me realize this connection, and it made me feel a little better about myself.

Breathing

I’m gonna be honest I basically slept through that session. It is a peaceful to wake up in the morning.

Anxiety caring connection

A practice that eliminates shame unveils sensitivity and allows personal gain . A very generous overview of what is my personal strife.

I care to much

If I care too much then I get anxiety so I should stop caring but easier said than done

To not be afraid of my anxiety.

Aprendi que sentir me ansiosa não é uma coisa má. Só preciso de respirar, e deixa entrar em mim... passar por mim e seguir viagem. “Ansiedade é o sinal de que nos importamos. De que queremos conectar connosco mesmos.” É isto que quero fazer. Conectar comigo mesma. Perceber me. E mais tarde, aceitar me. 🍃🦋

Anxiety is caring

Changing the perception I have on my anxiety was weird but good. I have always viewed my anxiety as a weakness, but it just shows I care strongly.

Anxiety & Caring

Should I care less and get rid of anxiety? Is that even possible?

Day one

To not feel guilty about my anxiety. I was conscious of my breathing, I relaxed toward the end

Understanding Anxiety

We always aim to cure our anxiety and try to make it go away. But now I see how anxiety doesn't need to be cured. It's part of who we are; it's part of how special we are. We love and care deeply, that's where anxiety comes. Because we empathetic and caring towards others.

I felt as if I’m not doing anything wrong by having anxiety

I learned that it’s okay to take time for yourself and just listen and relax

Control: mind over matter, duh

It offered to me the knowledge that anxiety is a temporary state and allowed me to work through that state more effectively and efficiently than I ever had before.

Caring too much

I learned that it is okay to care too much. Embrace who I am. It’s not a fault.

Anxiety

I’ve always had really bad anxiety and always treated it as a sign of weakness. This practice allowed me to recreate how I think about anxiety. Noticing it’s just because I care and love myself.

Anxiety

I realized that my anxiety comes from the fact that I care and how I should embrace that rather than let it be a negative thing.

Anxiety

Anxiety is an expression of how much we care. We need to honor that.

Poor day

I had hoped that a nice evening session here at Aura might help me cope with this bad day I just spent feeling sad and anxious. My body is deteriorating lately, and it’s causing me a lot of anxiety. I thought that after I had my stroke and came out of it with such light effects on my body that I would be able to just move on with my life...however, my left arm has started to exhibit the same “dead””tingling” sensation that my left leg has. I’m awaiting a referral to a neurologist currently, with the hope that a specialist will be able to help me!

Troubles

I’ve been plagued with troubles here at Aura lately. This is the first meditation session I’ve gotten to actually play in about a week! Listened because several of my Aura clan members have enjoyed this experience, but it did little for me this Mother’s Day evening😪 I could not afford to do much of anything for my wife today...she knows that I love her beyond belief, but it would have been nice to be able to afford to do something special with her this Mother’s Day!😪 I’m so tired of not having the resources I want to have! Of feeling like I’m unable to take care of my wife and kids! It makes me miserable and depressed all the time. I’ve asked the state department of Rehabilitation to find me SOME work, ANY work, which will give me even a little actual income...I’ll find out if they’ve been able to locate anything for me at the end of the month... So happy Mother’s Day to any Aura moms reading this! You all make the world go ‘round!

Anxiety Connection

I am getting anxiety because I care deeply about my children. I just want them to be healthy. I want my ex to stop trying to break my connections with them by interfering in my relationships with them. I want to feel love and connection with my children. I want them to know that they are cared for and loved unconditionally. They should not have to worry about adult things. I want them to be able to be children and heal from their trauma. I am thankful to be able to recognize my anxiety as a strength that shows my deep caring.

Finding that stillness was kind of unnerving it was like trying to stop a 100mph freight train.

I found that I could feel my stress level by focusing on the stillness. Its a lot of stress.

Anxiety caring connection

Learning that anxiety arises from caring was liberating for me. It will take a while for me to integrate this into my consciousness. I had never heard anything like this before.

Because I Care

Like the idea that I experience anxiety because I care to connect with others and myself. If I stop caring, I will not be anxious.

I get calm and understood. It was nice. Thank you

I learned that I am not alone and there are people out there who understand. Anxiety doesn’t have to take over your life and control you, you can over come it.

Understanding

I loved this meditation. It really helped me to understand where anxieties may come from and put things into perspective.

Anxiety

I learned that I am anxious beacause I care. I'm going to try and accept my feelings more because that is self love

You’re Awesome

What an amazing perspective! I’ll always think of you with a smile whenever I am feeling anxious

Anxiety can strike at any time.

Today I learned that anxiety is a natural feeling that will pass, but also that it follows certain patterns. For me, I tend to get anxious in the evening; I don't know why, but just realizing that has made me pause around this time of day to meditate and center myself. This meditation gave me a new perspective on my anxiety, and I feel ready to accomplish a goal now.

I felt it change in me

I never had anyone reframe anxiety for me as a deep caring, wanting to be loved and connected to others 💖 this was reflective of where my anxiety truly comes from. Now I have a different perspective

anxious

my cat (who is 2 years old) got really sick tonight at 3am and i had to call the all night vet to come and he was sedated and a procedure was made on him and he’s still pretty groggy and i’m really scared cause it could have killed him but the vet told me it was good that i acted so quickly but now i had to but him in his “cage” for the rest of the night and i have to bring him to the vet first thing in the morning... i’m really anxious right now and i don’t know if i’m gonna get a few hours of sleep before i go but i care sooo much about him and it makes me so sad to see him like this... i just really needed this practice and i guess it did calm me a little...

Freak Out Formula

I felt my stress level gently come down and the feeling of peace I felt at the end of the breaths was great! Very calming.

Bit controversial

I found it soothing mainly because of her voice. However, that sentence "I just want to feel loved" - that just made my anxiety level rise. I know, it's a different perspective, and that's great if it helps the majority of people. But as for me, I already know that my anxiety comes from my constant wanting to be loved and to share love... I don't know, I just wanted to put it out there - didn't calm me unfortunately. :(

Connectiob

“Anxiety is a result of wanting to be connected.” I can use this as an anchor to keep perspective, and not get frustrated with myself when I feel stress.

To much pain

As these days are very hard for me as i have recent breakup.it’s 4 years long relationship that end. Now I can’t even focus on work and even too much unsocial. Finding ways to recover hope this app works.

Day 7

My anxiety is a result of caring. And sometimes caring about things I cannot control. It is beneficial to separate my self and gain perspectives on my stress and anxiety throughout the day and week. To set it aside for a little while and come back to it later.

incredible

The best one yet! Today with this session I realized that we get anxious because we care too much of things around us, the desire of being loved or to try control everything

Good for anxiety

I learned that anxiety is just a form of wanting to be loved and it is caring. I've never heard that before. It's a completely new perspective for me and I like it. I have PTSD from being abused by my parents and other things that happened to me when I was younger. I did always thought it was caused by that. And I think in a roundabout way it is. We all just want to be loved and cared for.

Anxiety Caring Connection

This reinforced the idea that wanting to be loved can fuel anxiety. I often over think what friends and colleagues actually think of me which is not a healthy thing to do if it becomes too much.

This one!

This meditation was good and relaxing but it didn’t really help me with my stress level. It’s lower but still not what I would like it to be.

Right on point

That was exactly what I needed to hear today. We all just want to be loved indeed.

Anxiety an innocent emotion, at its root

Anxiety comes from a desire to be loved. Thinking about this, it also follows that we are bound to love others, as we learn to love and honor our selves and our desire to be loved. And love is no zero-sum phenomenon - actually, the more love we give, we fill our well with more to give, by the very act of giving. It’s a paradox - by emptying we are filled. ❤️

Love being anxious

Anxiety stems from our need to be loved... great take on the lengths one will go for love. We care so much, we create anxious thoughts and feelings. Valuable message.

Anxiety

I learned that anxiety stems from the place of caring about oneself or ones beliefs. It is because we care so much that we become anxious. I connected to the statement that we just want to be loved. I thought of Mom. She was so good at making me feel loved and cared for so much. Oh how I miss her. 11 years since she passed and I think of her often and miss her to the depths of my soul. She is the only her person who made Me geeked loved always. There was never any doubt. I don’t think I can think of anyone else who made me feel that way.

Amazing!!

I’m new to this app and so far, I love it so much! I’ve always struggled with anxiety and stress, and this meditation has really helped me through my day.

Anxiety

I still struggle to clear my mind. The “let it go” mantra helped.

Care deeply, breath deeply

The innocence of anxiety, tempered by faith, hope, and love. Namaste

Anxiety

This was really freeing for some aspects of my anxiety, while others don’t apply.

Anxiety

This meditation focuses on the positive aspects of anxiety. It encourages an interesting perspective of honoring anxiety as a sign of a person’s deep caring and compassion instead of viewing anxiety in a negative light and trying to rid oneself of it.

Reframing...

I learned that by reframing Anxiety as a ‘gift’, a result of Caring so much, and then honoring it instead of dismissing it, we can turn it into a more useful feeling! Think of it as Mother Nature or God is trying to get your attention to tell you something, so listen up!! Some people fret so much and actually worry about their anxiety (instead of just ‘feeling’ it for its 90 second lifespan. learning from it & letting it pass on) that they often end up on some kind of medication for it. Unfortunately, this masks the true reason they are feeling anxious and artificially blocking nature will cause worse things to happen. Either she will try harder to get her message thru to that person or God will pick another person to connect with. So the next time you feel anxious, reframe it as an important message from God or Mother Nature and go inside to hear what they have to tell you. Write it down, study it, make changes if necessary and maybe be bold enough to tell others about it. After all, you were the Chosen One to receive it. Honor your anxiety instead of worrying about it! ❤️🙏🍀

I was feeling stressed

I learned that I have to love my self and that I care more then I want to, and that’s good; I don’t have to drive it away but just let it in and love it and it will love me and we can have a positive life without feeling that guilt and that hurt anymore.

love this

I was almost tearful during this meditation. it is so true that anxiety comes from we just want to be loved. We need to be kind to ourselves.

I was sleepless last night

I felt my breathing change and noticed that the ‘chatter’ in my head quotes down. Brief but powerful meditation.

Compassion

I have plenty for others but very little for myself. I carry so much self loathing deep inside me. Why else would I be so easily stirred up by my anxiety. I feel boring and annoying. I’m so fucking tired.

Proceed with kindness

An open day ahead of me with lots I want to catch up on and the skies are finally clear. Good intention to put appreciating the day as the top priority. Namaste

Set Priorities

It's important to set up our priorities in life so we get to live our life in the best way

Life Transformation

I learned that Anxiety is an innocent emotion that is just trying to be loved and honored. Once you honor Anxiety you learn that it is uprising because you love something/someone or desire to be loved.

Anxiety

I learned that anxiety is an innocent feeling of wantig to be connected and loved

I'm better now

I was perfectly exhaust for being anxious anytime and now I know why. I don't like to mush hear the truth, but it was important for me

Recognition

I’ve been dealing with mild anxiety since about 2017 when I was getting ready to graduate college. A lot was going on and it honestly was one of my worst years as a whole. One thing that stuck out to me was about being anxious because I care. Also anxiety coming out of wanting love and connection. I still have to work on it, even if it’s just starting with loving myself.

It was three minutes of sheer relaxation and pleasure.

I was reminded that caring to much although can cause stress needs to be “Honored “

Honoring the emotion of anxiety

I really enjoyed this one. It is calming and teaches our goal is not to simply push anxiety away but to honor the emotion. It talks about how anxiety is a very innocent emotion and stems from the strong desire to be loved. It comes to you because of how deeply you care and this deep caring should be viewed as a strength, not a weakness to be fixed or solved.

Honor?

I do not “honor” emotions. That is irrational and illogical. Emotions are recognized and a choice is made to accept them or not.

Anxiety

Good insight into the fact that anxiety comes from caring deeply, to be loved and connected. Honor anxiety. Good reflection because my instinct is to always drive out anxiety, or at least try not to give in to it, could not find a way to be at peace with it.

I learned that Anxiety is an innocent emotion and that I need to honor it

Because I care, that’s why

Caring is connecting to the world around us in a positive way. Namaste

Anxiety is care

I often see other people walking around who seemingly have no anxiety and can’t understand how that’s possible. But this helped me see that in relation to those people, I care a whole heck of a lot...thus the greater anxiety. So that’s a good thing. Love myself for caring so much. Allow it to turn into something good.

Anxiety is from our desire to be loved.

I have another image on anxiety. Yea. I'm caring myself and I want to connect with others. Even at the center of being anxious, I still can find a time to care my body, myself. I honor that person, who is trying hard to get what he wants. Then confidence comes.

Anxiety occurs because we care and want to be loved

That anxiety is not meant to be portrayed in a bad way

Take a Moment

You don’t realize the need to intentionally breathe until someone tells you to take the moment and do just that. It really feels like a moment of calibration as it calms you down long enough clearly see the road required to solve your tasks and problems.

To love life

Anxiety develops because deep down I truly care about the things that are giving me anxiety

That anxiety comes from wanting to be loved and connected

Because I care

Anxiety is not trying to destroy me. Anxiety stems from caring.

Second Session

I think this session was very relaxing although i would like the aura app to stop pressuring me to try and get premium when i don’t want it

Peaceful

Wow how wonderful to learn that my anxiety is just not some weird reaction it’s a reaction letting me know that I care and just want to connect with people and that explains so much of her I’ve been feeling for so long and knowing that it’s caused by you wanting to hit that rather than freaking out is amazing.

Fear of Flying

My anxiety and fear of flying is a result of myself dedply caring - deeply caring about my life.

Caring

I learned that the thing that causes my anxiety is fully attainable and will no longer set me back in social encounters. It is okay to care. It is okay to have this piece of me. It is okay to have this anxiety that makes me, me. It is okay.

Caring

Yes, I am definitely anxious about things I care about. But I feel most of my anxiety comes from worrying about how I am influencing what I care about. Am I making the situation better or worse? For me, caring about something or someone makes me want to do something about it. The anxiety or worry is concern that, in attempting to help, I may actually hurt.

Love myself

I learned that I do worry about the things I love or unresolved emotions in me that I push away. I will learn to love myself more deeply. Might even get a little cocky

Anxiety

I learned that this is an innocent emotion, it is ourselves wanting to be loved and connected and we must Honor it🙏🏼💖

Learning to Appreciate Anxiety

I have been really anxious lately and it’s been killing me inside because I am stuck at a crossroads between making others happy and taking care of myself. I have always been able to do both pretty well, but recently since i’ve started grad school I do not have enough hours in the day to devote my energy to others as much as I usually do or want to.. I talked to my mom yesterday about sacrificing the energy I put into others to focus on myself during these last 2 semesters of school and the words that she spoke to me that impacted me the most were “I fully support any decision you make, especially if it’s involving your mental health.” And those words, coming from the person I care about & love the most made me feel at ease.. I feel as if my happiness depends too much on satisfying others that i forget to satisfy myself.. Everyday I wake up in a neutral state of being (i’m never too down on myself I like to live by that philosophy)—but after completing these Aura exercises it brings me to a place of positivity because it helps be understand that taking care of myself, mentally and emotionally, should be one my top priorities. However, I am still not where I want to be emotionally or mentally. I feel that constant reminders that I am feeling the way i’m feeling because I care about my future so much and that i should not feel bad when putting myself first, may bring me to that place of satisfaction. I know this is a hefty post but I kind of use this app as my journal and I appreciate everyone that takes their time to read my entries <3

Anxiety

I learned anxiety is a deep sense of caring. Anxiety is a desire to be connected, a want to be loved.

Source of Anxiety

I learned how important it is to acknowledge the source of your anxiety and understand it.

Self awareness is a blessing

My anxiety is a direct result of my lack of action in self care. If I neglect myself and the things in my life that I know make me happy and healthy, self will run riot, my character defects rear their ugly head and deep down I feel guilty. That guilt manifests itself in the form of anxiety. Prayer, meditation, exercise and connection with others is the key to my serenity and peaceful existence. Grateful to have learned the skill of self reflection and mindfulness to pin point my sources of anxiety. Now ACTION is the cure.

Acknowledgement

To be able to acknowledge and accept my anxieties in a calming manner was new to me, as was the insight as to WHY I have anxiety. I have had some counselling in the past and it was put down to me being a perfectionist and we never really figured out why that was as no parental pressure etc, all of my own making/doing. But here through this simple meditation being told that anxieties are from us caring so much and the deep desire just to be loved it made sense deep in my being. That I am a spiritual being and I just want to love and be loved the way that I am. I will definitely be coming back to this one. Thank you 🙏

Anxiety lives in my stomach

The root chakra area, foundation of what it is to be alive in a body. I’m reminded of Suzuki’s “beginner mind,” always returning to the foundation.

Panic

I was having a very rough day today . My anxiety has been running a muck!! I did this meditation three times today and felt way more relaxed than the last. It got me emotional. But in a good way

Out of Control

I couldn’t understand myself and tried focusing but my breaths became short and u had trouble breathing. This really helped me.

In atill feeling anxious but now i know that i do not have to supress my anxiety

I should honour my anxiety! I should feel good that i feel so much about other people and myself as well that i starts feeling anxious

Anxiety

I never connected the need to be loved and anxiety before. Makes sense to me and makes it easier to honor that need and see my anxiety in a new light.

Anxious

that having Anxiety isn’t a bad thing at all. I thought it meant that a worry to much but I just care about connecting with myself and others. When I say others I mean the people I love because I don’t care to connect with everyone!

I'm Not Alone

that my anxiety is my need to feel connected. And more importantly, after reading replies by others, I am NOT alone, you understand. Of course, I knew that a lot of people suffer from anxiety, however it doesn't compare to the warmth I felt while reading your responses - Thanks. Let's have a good day..... La'L (Lai'el)

Anxiety

I learned that....its okay to say sorry, people have phobias about eating and drinking after others, that I should communicate better, and that its okay to have anxiety and I should honor that.

Understanding

I learned that its ok to feel weak. To need someone from others. To want to feel wanted. To allow yourself that vulnerability.

Anxiety

I’m so anxious these days-I’m trying to heal but it’s such a tough road.

A profound insight...

That behind the curtain of anxiety is caring...this connection offers me understanding of myself and some other very difficult people in my life. Allows for more compassion and a good reason to acknowledge the anxieties vs wanting to just get rid of them.

Anxiety=caring

I learned that having anxiety is a reflection of the caring aspect of ourselves. This caring aspect is desirous of connection to ourselves and/or to others. This desire ultimately is to feel loved. This revelation leads me to more fully thinks about not self-flagellating when I feel anxiety but rather see it for the gift of reflection it brings.

Realization :

Redirecting my perspective of my anxiety can allow me to work towards managing/ controlling my anxiety

Seeing anxiety as a bad way to caring about myself is a thing that i've never questioned.

I perceive anxiety as a harmful way to care about myself. It's like self caring alert and punishment, based in fear, hate,hopelessness and despair. Understanding that feeling makes me want to change it to a more compassionate way to care about yourself. Is a lot better to change that to caring about myself with love, compassion and compression, giving less power to my old way of caring aggressively with violence, fear and great guilt. It's time to make the things better, doing small tasks, talking to myself in a kind way. It's time to doing them because i love myself and want to be more happy, not to fulfill the expectations of others, specially my parents. It's time to help myself and make the things better. I won't let the rage, fear and guilt to take control of my life again I LOVE MYSELF

Anxiety

I just want to be loved. And I will start with loving myself.

Anxiety

I learned that anxiety comes from caring ❤ I will honor that feeling 😌

Anxious

I do care and want to connect with myself and others. I will try not to be hard on myself for this, but rather embrace it

My feeling of anxiety is something everyone encounters from time to time

I can handle it by relying on myself and others to support me

Self care

I learned that I’m anxious because I deeply care about myself.

Realisation

I learned also that everything else in my life is going great that my mind is looking for a problem to feel a challenge every now and then.

Be best

I learned that I am anxious because I care and caring about something means that it is important. I want to leave a legacy behind. When I leave my university I want people to say "Heslie did a really great job". I don't want to be mediocre. That is what makes me who I am. I want to be the best I can be. I don't know if that is what I should have taken away, but I am inspired rather than anxious about the work I have to do today.

My thoughts

I’ve learned that I can not let my thoughts predict my future. I’ve also learned that I care so much about what one person thinks that I have been becoming anxious to fail unintentionally in front of them.

Calming Anxiety

Basis: Anxiety stems from “I just want to be loved” !!! MJ’s Tarot reading today states that he is coming back to manipulate me more ~ He has destroyed the hearts of his family and I know now that I can’t protect everyone anymore!!! I can only protect myself- he is not in the vibration to shine light for my higher good!!! He has been for the last 35 years “ a player/ narcissist / and master manipulator ” and always will be” a liar, cheat and all the above. Do not fall for the smooth talk and charismatic deceit that he will bring with him!!!!

Just Breathe

I can stop and re start my day my moment my calm as mannnnny times as I need to🖤

I just did this meditation

For my group, She Shed, & they liked it so much! Won’t you please try to get a chance with awareness in your breathing too? Thanks, & have a Groovy day! ☕️🐝☕️

Anxiety

Is about caring deeply. If I didn’t care I wouldn’t worry blah blah blah blah

Never

Never did I associate my anxiety with deep caring, but it’s true. Plus, the need to love and be loved was eye opening. An all around excellent practice for a hard day.

Needed

I needed this moment to realize I’m ok. That my anxiety comes from my expectation of others. I can’t control the uncontrollable.

My thoughts have slowed down

A little meditation can relax and recenter my thoughts when I have so many of them.

Breathing

Take time to breathe, relax, and acknowledge my feelings. Envisioned breathing in soothing colors and breathing out angry/sad colors.

Anxiety meaning

I learned that anxiety happens because I deeply care about the situation. I realize that I just want to be loved, which is why I care so much. I truly want it to happen so I worry about the possibility that it will fail. I have been blessed in my life. Two beautiful children, one of each. To have them healthy their whole lives and well. To have the life experiences that broadened my thoughts about love and life. I am good to others. I am a blessing to others.

Accepting that anxiety is part of me

This realization actually helped me to be less anxious. Acknowledging it instead of trying to press it down or shove it under a rug

Morning Panic attack

I learned that I do have control of this and I can get through it quickly by honoring my anxiety and honoring myself.

It's my time now

I learn that I just want to be loved and that my parents sacrifices weren't in vain. But that's not my burden to carry, they made their choices and so most I. If I don't do this I'll be haunted by "if" and that would be the greatest failure of my life.

Anxiety

I learned that I can relax. Not have to be and do everything… this is a great way to start the day… puts one in a positive frame of mind

Anxiety Caring Connection

What an insight! I am anxious because I care deeply and I want to be loved.

Not for me

This app is not for me. I hate that when I want to calm down from anxiety, that I have to hear the word ANXIETY over and over throughout the meditation. Makes no sense to me and gets me so worked up. Anxiety. Anxiety! ANXIETY!! Grrr pointless.

My first day

I felt relaxed, and with the sound of the outdoors all around me more I in tune with myself

first time meditating

I felt like i couldn't stay focused. I feel like i need more practice and patience with myself

Morning

I felt meditation right in the morning can ease anxiety before it begins :)

Honour every fibre of you.

I learned that we must honour and unconditionally love each state; ‘light’ & ‘dark’, of our being, for each has their own teachings.

Anxiety

It helps to know the root cause of anxiety. I would like to complete more sessions and see where this goes.

Anxiety is caring

She surprised me and gave me a new perspective on my anxiety I teared up

Anxiety

I agree it has it’s roots in caring. I also feel a connection to fear/lack of control.

Overwhelmed

Anxiety comes from desire to be loved, sadness comes from the desire to be understood, anger comes from lack of understanding other emotions and how to deal with them

Ahhhhh

I never associated anxiety with the desire to be loved or connected or caring. And now that I think about past anxious moments, they usually were because I wanted connection to something or someone.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a result of deep caring. Didn’t know that. I always viewed anxiety as a negative.

Anxiety

This is exactly how my anxiety feels. I just so want to be loved and cared for. I also want to do take well.

Honor the Anxiety

Acknowledging the anxiety by recognizing my need to be loved just pinpointed where I’ve been feeling lost for years. I’ve never been able to express or arrive at what I’ve been trying to convey until realizing that I’m anxious about it. I care so deeply about other people and help them in any way I can. Some days I cry out only to my inner self that I wish someone loved me so deeply that it hurts for good like my love hurts. This was a brilliant piece that I will return to over and over.

Anxiety

I never thought it was deep caring but more fear. Anxious thoughts are fearful thoughts

Anxiety

Anxiety comes from caring and wanting to connect. Never though of it this way.

Anxiety

I learned that in the midst of any chaos or anxiousness, taking just a couple moments to focus inward and on your breathe can really help recognize but stabilize the anxiety.

Careful resolution of the issue .

Real change occurs when you have a habit of something you want to change, but you want the same reward you have, then try doing it the same way that you’re used to except change the way you always have been doing things that get you the satisfaction you need. You can always receive the same reward as you did, but you will have to do it a different way and do it for a 60 to 90 day span if you want to change your life habit then the brain takes over the “new” habit and automatically does it for you. If I snap awake and get up and go to make coffee, always the same habit, I will change the habit by, say, setting up the automatic timer for the coffee machine and taking my shower before I go to the kitchen. If I do that for three months this habit will become a new change and I will have my reward, (coffee) anyway! Change your life/ change your habits.

Learned a new fact

I learned that anxiety is a result of being a caring person. Having a big heart leads to anxiety but it’s a good thing for you as a person to be so caring because there is t many people like that these days.

Anxiety

She says it is caused by our desire to be loved. I don’t think that is true for me in the examples I can think of. It’s fear - fear of not being in control (of a classroom), fear of harm and suffering coming to my children, fear of aging.

New perspective

I feel like this meditation was perfect for how I was feeling. Caring a lot about a small disagreement with my SO and wanting to be loved and afraid of being loved less
