Four Reasons to Speak Your Truth, No Matter What Others Think

How My Anxiety Strategies Are Saving Me Both Reactively and Proactively
I know that my feelings are my feelings, and they come from me. At the same time, I know that not all of my feelings are the truth, and I can call them out as false if I just engage in a little conversation with them. Sometimes, I find both truth and false in the feeling, but then I can decide what to do based on that distinction, rather than based on an overblown and sometimes imaginary feeling. Cool, huh?
