For years, I thought anxiety was something I just had to manage. Deep breaths, journaling, mindset work—I tried it all. And while those things helped for a moment, the anxiety always came back. I’d still wake up exhausted before the day even started. My mind still ran in endless loops of overthinking, self-doubt, and what-ifs.
