In this captivating episode of Mental Fitness Fridays, we explore the transformative power of a simple yet profound mantra: "I am enough." Anxiety, a prevalent and often overwhelming experience, can be greatly alleviated by cultivating a sense of sufficiency and self-acceptance.

Tip:

For 1-3 weeks, attach the phrase “I Am Enough” to a habit. For example, every time you brush your teeth, out loud or within, say “I Am Enough”. And then be curious, see how that phrase can reduce your anxiety.
