If you have ever heard of the term "Canon Event", you will definitely see what I mean when I say that this was my canon event. To keep it simple, a canon event is an event in one's life where in the matter of 1 day, your life changes drastically. For me, it was almost 2 years ago. I was in lake tahoe for some snowboarding with my buddies. On the drive back to the cabin (almost an hour away from the slopes) I hit a pothole and had a tire blow out. Now this wouldn't be much of an issue since I had a spare. However we lacked the proper tools to change out the tire and were left stranded on the side of the road in the dark of night, middle of nowhere, with no cell service. That is when my panic began to set in. Luckily after about 5 hours and the help of some locals, we got ahold of AAA to tow the car to a nearby tire shop. Unfortunately for me, the deep anxious panic feeling (like an elephant sitting on my chest) didn't go away for months... Until I got in touch with Dr. Michelle, she taught me everything I needed to know about how to overcome this anxiety I was feeling, including techniques like breathing methods and affirmations to calm the noise in my brain. And that is just a small bit of what she did to help. I am thankful for her guidance in my mental health journey and I encourage anyone who is seriously struggling to seek further coaching. Thank you Dr. Michelle! I am also a member of her premium group, "Rise Above! Premium." So if you are interested in a more in depth coaching program, Ill attach a link to this post so you can learn more and get started today.

I want to share a little bit about last week and the anxiety I felt and how I overcame the anxious feeling. So I was working out at my gym and going through a hard workout, during one of my final sets, I started to feel a bit dizzy (which is something that caused anxiety for me in the past a lot). I sat down and told myself: “You’re just tired, you’re not going to pass out, and if you do, (which I never have) there’s people around to help”. After reaffirming that to myself a few times and putting other positive thoughts into my head about the feeling that was causing my anxiety, I started to feel a LOT better. The dizziness finally subsided and I finished the workout without any anxious feelings. Just wanted to share my experience. I hope to share a lot more in the future.
