What is anxiety and how can I escape it?

We unintentionally hold tension in our bodies for a few reasons… For the most part, protecting and guarding happens around the delicate parts that we want to keep safe or away from harm.

Learning how to be more self-aware starts with slowing down.
Self-awareness happens in the slowing down.
Understanding your personal seasons gives you more appreciation for your emotional well-being. This gives you more creative and intuitive control over your life and inner landscape allowing you to rebalance and reconnect with less effort, more often.
