Feeling anxious?

Then you NEED to check this out! June 3, 2024 [The Writer’ s Life]( "Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest taken between two deep breaths." ― Etty Hillesum Happy Monday, {NAME}, Anxiety is part of being human … And when it comes to facing our fears and going after what we really want in life, anxiety LOVES to jump in and threaten to slow us down (or stop us entirely). But we don't have to let it take control … We have more power than you may think. I'm a control freak by nature, and always assumed my 2 a.m. "monkey mind" was normal. And I was given constant confirmation by everyone who responded with a "me too" when I talked about it. I thought it was "normal" and outside my control. Spoiler: It is not. Dr. Annette Annechild, whom you're going to meet in [today's Monday Morning Jumpstart](, showed me a "better way to live" when I started working with her eight years ago. And to this day, when anxiety finds a way to creep back in and tries to take a hold, a quick refresher has me back in control. It has never failed me in eight years. So, this month, we've invited Annette to help all of us with the core issues that hold us back … not only from getting what we want … but from ENJOYING life and the journey to get there. In today's Monday Morning Jumpstart she tackles anxiety head-on … and gives you a tool that you can start using today to start taking back control. The AWAI team has already started using it … "Annette can take you from despair to hopeful. These exercises bring the calm and change the energy of yourself and your environment." — Jade "After doing Annette's exercise, I could feel the stress melt away." — Molly "I find myself using it throughout the day, whether it be first thing in the morning to check in with myself, in the car right after a busy grocery store run, or at my desk when I'm feeling any sort of overwhelm. It has an amazing ability to help me stop, focus, and reset to a state that makes me feel calm and confident." — Sarah "I noticed my iwatch heart rate creep up to 100 BPM during a particularly stressful workday. I started Annette's technique, and within a couple minutes my pulse dropped to 85 BPM (a 15% decrease!). I also was able to bring my focus back to the project I was working on and complete it within my 30-minute time block window." – Lisa But as Annette always says, you don't have to believe me … [just try it](!
