Ever feel like life just keeps throwing curve balls at you? If it’s not one thing it’s another. So many things are going wrong simultaneously. This is a great opportunity for a perspective shift. Many of these trials are actually being used to train you. You’re being trained to be the best version of yourself. When money is tight, know that you are being trained to budget your funds wisely. When you have a naysayer that is always critical of you, know that you are being trained to pursue peace with even the most difficult people. When your boss is always micromanaging you, just know that you are cultivating a better work ethic. Sometimes your circumstance doesn’t change because you are becoming better by enduring the process. In the moment it feels unbearable, but it’s just making you better. No process is enjoyable while your in it, but in the end you reap the benefits of the pressure. So I said all of this to say:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4 NIV

Need help walking through your journey toward managing your anxiety? Here you’ll find spiritual gems of wisdom, shifts in perspective, and science-based tips that will help you sap your anxiety it of its mentally paralyzing power.
This site was launched in 2017 as an aid for young women dealing with anxiety disorders, and those who need help managing life’s day to day worries. If you desire to be free of your stress and worries so that you can be the best version of yourself, then you’re in the right place. Here you will find a combination of encouragement, information, and tools to help you manage.
Just last year I was riddled with anxiety, and it began to spiral out of control. Every day was a struggle. The smallest things would trigger me, hours would be lost ruminating on the mentally debilitating thoughts. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, had just given birth to my second child, my relationships were suffering, and I felt like I was not moving forward in life.
I decided to forego the medications, and began to seek God like never before. As I began to seek the Lord I realized that there were certain shifts in perspective that were key to overcoming the mentally crippling thoughts. All of this was just under a year ago. Today, I am discovering who I am, and loving it. I am full of faith, and thankful for it. I am resilient, continuously building confidence, and successfully tackling anxiety as it arises. Read and comment to find out more about how I’ve found success in my journey. Email me at thetranquilthought@gmail.com for questions, and if you see something that can help a friend share!

Perspective shift…. love this❣️It also causes a perception shift and it is there you realize all things work together for the good of them who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. It doesn’t always feel good but it works out for your good.
