Things I’ve learned

Trending in the right direction
Don’t try harder, grow closer
This too shall pass
Starving your anxiety vs feeding your anxiety
Fear/Feeling does NOT equal fact (just because you don’t feel fine doesn’t mean you aren’t fine)
Celebrate the victories and be thankful for the good moments
Keep HOPE
Anxiety is your brain overreacting to perceived threats
Your brain can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality (if you tell yourself you are healthy and well, eventually your brain will follow because it doesn’t know any different)
The way anxiety works is the fear of the thing feeds itself
You have the ability to rise above this
You have the ability to calm/reset your body
Hunger is a good and natural feeling
Baby steps
Be patient with yourself
Remove yourself from the situation
The fear doesn’t go away all at once, it goes away a little at a time (balloon)
As we become spiritually healthier we need less material wealth but, strangely, always seem to have what we need
I need to realize that I cannot change as fast as my brain thinks I should, but I can and do change at a rate determined by my own internal rhythm
Prayer of the righteous is powerful
I am not alone in this struggle
Breathwork
Facing the fear takes away its power, especially over time
One day at a time
All lights turned off can be turned on

Dear Megbsear, Your prayer request is real. It’s valid and so necessary to begin to walk in healing…this time for good! Exposing the darkness is the first step to break free from the things that can so easily beset us. Food is important…but it should not have a stronghold on our lives. Actually anything that we allow to take our attention away from God is being at war with God. Do you want to be at war with His perfect will for your life? When we know something is wrong and we still do it, it is sin. I’m asking God to give you the discipline to use food ONLY as nourishment. God our eyes are on You, as Your eyes are certainly on us. Give Megbsear the awareness of each and everything they purchase, to eat. Help us to make the choices that will keep their body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, which it is. Bind up the anxiety that is driving the addiction in the first place. In Jesus name, Amen. 💕👑
