If you are like me, a creative thinker who is a touch high strung, then you've probably had anxiety influence your mood and your body. Have you ever invented a catastrophe and felt your stomach flip, sweat break out, or your chest get tight...or worse? All you did was invent a story…and let it play out in your mind, and your body reacted as if it had happened (at least a little bit.) Just the thought made you sick. That's how powerful the imagination is. Anxiety makes the imagination go rogue. Stories do affect our bodies. So, let's tell ourselves some stories that help us feel more safe, more creative, more calm, more grounded, and more aligned. Then we can put the imagination to use to help us feel better.
