A pleasant day to all of you, it is I once again @penflecto,I am hoping that everyone is having the best days of their lives. It is my first time publishing a blog in this community and I hope you'll get satisfied. In this content I will share my coping mechanism about dealing with anxiety and how it affects my vitality and passions in life.

How my anxiety developed
During my freshman as a high school student my obsession towards achieving my dreams goes beyond, I became eager about building my own legacy, became more competitive of being a top student and aims to expand my general knowledge as much as I can. When I became a senior high school student everything suddenly change and life’s reality hits me critically, negative questions and thoughts lingered in my mind unexpectedly, little did I know it was my anxiety building it’s empire inside me, it is some sort of darkness that lives inside me and slowly grows whenever I feel hopeless. That moment I noticed that whenever I overthink my enthusiasm and interest towards my passion and dreams decreases, so I quickly looked for a way to cope with it. Basically I develop my anxiety because of being a dreamer.
Good habits
Anxiety surely affects my mental health and consumes my energy towards doing something, but thankfully I have several habits that I considered as a cure to my anxiety whenever it occurs.
(I'm still learning how to play a guitar)
Music
Music is one of the best medicine a person could ever have, whenever my anxiety occurs I usually listen to music to escape the sadness of life and get rid of that annoying voice that keeps whispering in my ears, telling me nothing but negativity. Feeling the music’s harmony reminds me on how beautiful life is, the beat, the tempo, notes and everything about it is just perfectly fine and gives me a pleasure that I cannot explain, listening to music feels like living in heaven for a short period of time. My life would be incomplete without music and so does this content if you don’t drop your favorite song in the comment section below haha.
The moon
Staring at luna (the moon) is indeed a stress reliever. This is one of my favorite thing to do whenever anxiety hits me. Sitting in a specific place with no one around me, listening to the crickets and staring at the moon for a long time releases my stress and stops me from worrying about the things that might happen. By just staring at the stars, all the negativity in my mind suddenly vanish.
Nature
Nature is my ultimate therapy, a perfect place to release my unnecessary emotions and negative thoughts. Everytime my anxiety visits me, I usually visit nature and sit there for an hour and listen to the birds tweet, inhale its fresh air, feeling the wind touching my skin and admiring its beauty, that way my mind becomes empty and refreshed and provides me a strength to keep on living. A green surrounding is a good place for meditation and relaxation. Nature is not just nature, it has the power to preserve a healthy mind.

True friends
A positive circle of friends gives a positive mind. Among all the things that I have mentioned this is the one that I considered as the most important. I may be have a strong heart and solid mentality but I also fall down sometimes, fortunately there is this people that helps me whenever my anxiety begans to dominate my mind, they never fail to put a smile on my face whenever they notice I'm silent and looks exhausted, they helped me numerous times without them knowing. They maybe annoying sometimes but I can’t afford to loose them. Friends are those who lift you up when no one else has even noticed you have fallen – unknown.
Anxiety is also a good sign
In my own opinion, anxiety is also a good sign, this may be weird but its somehow true or perhaps not , it depends on how you understand it. Anxiety may damage a persons mind buy it is also a good sign. Anxiety means you are worried about the future, you are scared of what may happen tomorrow, this means that you are scared of not achieving your goals, ideals or something, in other words, you are aiming on something important and beneficial to you and you are afraid of not reaching it, there are times where anxiety is what keeps you grinding. Use anxiety as a motivation and an energy to keep grinding.
Anxiety is one of the main factor that helps you to keep on pursuing your dreams.
Whenever your anxiety hits you, I recommend you to do what you find relaxing in order to empty your mind, to escape and surpass all the negativity.
Thank you so much for reading my work, I hope that you enjoy my content, I purposely created this as a tips of dealing with anxiety, thank you once again and have a good day .
In my point of view, I think anxiety is not a good sign— but a sign that you're not okay mentally. Sure, we can't avoid to feel anxious at times— there'll always be times when anxiety dominates us. However, it shouldn't be tolerated. You can still aim for your dreams without feeling anxious about it. All we need to have is a positive mind. Well, it's just for me. We all do have different perspectives.
Anyways, I don't have a specific favorite music, but I always listen to Taylor Swift's music whenever I'm needing a therapy, or if my anxiety started to build inside me.
