Day 1 Without Anxiety

Accepting the Challenge

Bonjour and Hello Beautiful Readers, Bienvenue and Welcome to my First Day Without Anxiety,

What's the challenge?

To do 100 different challenges that push me out of my comfort zone, face my fears, and tackle my anxiety head on.

Why the Anxiety?

Honestly? I'm so afraid of losing control, and what I will discover about my self when/if I do. I could potentially make myself feel like even more of a failure than I already do, by not completing my challenges, the fear of embarrassment is unbelievably high. To come out of this with even less confidence and my anxiety levels to have either got worse or not changed at all.

Anxiety level: 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴⭕

I feel ridiculously sick, head spinning dizzy, and I feel like I cannot breath, am I crazy to take on 100 challenges?? How on earth am I going to be able to do this when I can't even walk to the shops by myself and feel like crying if a stranger tries to talk to me! HELP!! Plus I have Chosen to Film all 100 of my challenges for video evidence, to look back on myself, and to help promote to others that they can tackle their anxiety and share my story with my friends who live all over the world. The thought of putting my face in a video and talking on the internet makes me feel like I want to crawl under the covers and not come out, (Oooh dear the IBS cramps have started!! Another wonderful physical symptom of the Anxiety and Depression that cripples me *sarcasm*). I don't want to leave my bubble but if I don't try it now I feel I will never get out of my little rut! 

Sum up the Challenge in a motivational quote?

That's easy; " In my moments of doubt, I've told myself firmly... If not me, then Who? If not now, When?" Emma Watson. I love this quote by Emma and I honestly think it's the moto I have in the back of my mind for this challenge, only I can really help myself and I should start to do it now!

Thanks for Reading

Enjoy Day 1? Have you read Day 2? Day 3?


P.S. Hi guys, just thought I'd add a side note and let you know for one of my future challenges I am going to climb the O2 arena in London (I'm petrified of heights). I'm doing this to not only conquer my fears and anxiety but I'm helping to fundraise for POST PALS, a volunteer run charity that is hoping to send severely and terminally ill children away for the weekend with their families. Please Click on the links (in blue) if you would like to DONATE or FIND OUT MORE about this wonderful charity and project. (I 'm paying to do the Climb myself so any donations you make will go straight towards helping to make some beautiful family memories for the children who live in hospitals). You can also Donate by texting 'PALS56 £1' to 70070 to donate £1, (the amount can be adjusted eg 'PALS 56 £10' will donate £10.) Thank You, soo soo much xo
