Anxiety was the enemy. It cost me relationships, friendships, my self-esteem and physical health, and made my world feel under water. Anxiety knocked me off my path. I now realize the importance of not eliminating anxiety, but realizing when it is helpful and when it is not. I use the ART acronym today to orient myself with anxiety triggers so I can make meaningful and positive lifestyle changes. Anxiety is no longer the enemy, but just one part of the person I am today.
