Golden rules below\ud83d\udc47  \u2022 You don\u2019t have to start with something overwhelming. Pick something that feels challenging but manageable. \u2022 If you can stay in the feared situation for as long as possible your body will habituate to your environment and calm over time. \u2022 During that time use self-soothing skills to help you through it.  \u2022 The more you repeat a behaviour the more it becomes part of your comfort zone.  \u2022 Allow fear to be with you. Don\u2019t push it away. \u2022 Avoidance is the number one thing that feeds anxiety and makes it worse over time. So if there is something that you want to master but it makes you anxious, do it as often as you possibly can. \u2022 Learn how to use basic skills to calm the mind through the body (see book for detailed description of this).
