Wow lesson 8! We've been at this for 2 months which is pretty awesome!
To recap...we first learned about the body symptoms of anxiety as well as the symptoms of depression, we learned that we create these symptoms through our perception and what we are saying to ourselves instead of how it seems that it happens from the situations that happen outside of us as well as how to respond when anxiety does come up. We started to learn how to comfort ourselves as well as how we can create anxiety through our expectations of ourselves, other people and the world around us, we learned how to reduce anxiety and increase positive feelings through diet and exercise, we learned how our anger and what we do with it can influence ourselves both negatively and positively and we learned how important it is to express ourselves and stand up for ourselves. We have learned alot so far and we are all progressing in our own ways on our own paths. We have all picked up different insights into ourselves and with our anxieties and we have all had experiences where we have been able to calm ourselves in the heat of anxiety, we all had the courage to stand up and face it instead of doing what we habitually do and I think we all deserves to feel proud of ourselves for that.
In this lesson we get to learn about how our imaginations and ideas of the future of a situation can lead to anxiety. Remember when Lucinda said that we are creative but when that creativity is turned inward, we can scare ourselves into panic attacks? Well its true!
To start us off, I want to share a clip from a movie I recently watched which was really amazing and totally fits in with this lesson and about fear itself. This quote is really great but so is the rest of the movie because it goes along the same lines....very empowering!

Please check this out and let me know what it means to you, how do you interpret what is being said?
