Change is challenging but possible: Focus on what you can control

We all face challenges in life, but the good news is that change is possible, and it starts with focusing on what we can control. It's not easy, but it's worth it. Anxiety is a common struggle for many, and we've been conditioned to view it as a mental illness. This can make it challenging to break free from its grip, but we must remember that anxiety does not define us. We can choose to build our identity around something positive and life-affirming instead. Let's start by changing the way we talk to ourselves, challenging negative thoughts and beliefs, and focusing on what brings us joy and purpose. With time and practice, we can overcome our fears and achieve our goals.
