My victory today, came in the form of surviving, without anxiety, riding in the back seat of a two door car! Let me fill you in on the details:
On my ride home from Las Vegas, my husband, brother and I were all traveling in a two door car, and being the smallest, I had to sit in the back. Sounds ok, right? Not so much… One of my anxiety triggers is riding in the back of a two door car. This scenario has become a trigger because, in my anxious mind, if we were in a crash, I would be trapped. Without having easy access to a door, I feel very anxious.
HOWEVER! Once we were situated in the car and ready to go, I felt ZERO anxiety! I feel like I made it over a huge hurdle today!
Victory can be accomplished even if it is only in small moments.
HECK YEAH YOU TRIUMPHED! I give you a bazillion points. 🙂

Well done! It feels great once you do something and you see it wasn’t as bad as yout thought it would be!
I will be flying tomorrow for the first time on a transatlantic flight to New York! I don’t like flying or turbulence,(even though i’ve flown on all my life in Europe) and to make matters worse I have to wake up at 4am to travel to the airport 😦 which also worsens my anxiety..and to top it off, there is a hurricane currently over the atlantic! Its like a triple whammy! Wish me luck for getting through my anxiety! I will keep you in mind and everyone else out there who struggles and gets through it! ❤
