Susan Boyle, the Britain’s got talent sensation, was released June 6th from The Priory after suffering from what her brother says was an anxiety attack.
Poor Susan. The stress from her instant fame brought her to a total break down, luckily she is better now. See, anxiety is only a symptom and can be managed.
I can only imagine the pressure and stress she must had gone through going from a little known village woman to an International Internet sensation, paparazzi and all!
This reminds me of an important strategy for managing your anxiety. Stress is an ultimate anxiety trigger. How do you deal with stress? How do you deal with the constant pressures of work life? Family Life? Personal Life? Is is overwhelming? Does it feel like there just isn’t enough time during the day to get everything done?
One strategy that I am trying to implement in my life and I would encourage you to do so as well is to simply go with the flow. When or if plans change, go with it… flow. Don’t get all stressed. Everything happens for a reason. Life is perfectly balanced. Even when things seem like they aren’t going our way, they really are. They are actually going exactly the way we intended them to go. Believe it or not.
Another great way to calm down and get rid of stress is to listen to Susan Boyle sing, it just way overwhelm you with so much joy that you’ll cry, I know I did. Susan is amazing. Enjoy the song that started it all…
