v9: trust. and avoid the internet.

much of this recycles the information I've gained from the book I recently finished. but the main points I want to get across are (1) that anxiety practices aren't easy...setbacks are common and expected; (2) avoid the internet when it comes to any kind of uncertainty in regard to what your anxiety revolves around.

Haha. Ohhh Good ol' searching symptoms on Google or Web M.D. I totally get having some symptom and searching it on the internet. What the internet often says is cancer or some other fatal thing. Then anxiety is like AHHHHH OH MY GOSH! When in reality, it's most likely not the result Web MD, or any other doctor website says. Those websites tend to list the worst case scenarios first. Also, you should do a video about your tattoos :) Love these mental health videos though! Very relatable. Also, journaling is very helpful. I've looked back at some of my old entries during times when I felt sooooooo anxious and laughed because whatever I was anxious about ended up not being so bad. Or I ended up getting through it better then I thought.
