She started improving when she went through this
program called, Attacking Stress and Anxiety by
the Midwest Center in the States created by
Lucinda Bassett   Program. It taught her how to
stop her panic attacks or stop being afraid of
her panics attacks.

VS.
FEAR
Emily A phobia of mine was sleeping. I got
scared of sleeping because of different reasons.
I got scared of sleeping because was I going to
get enough sleep? Then was I going to be able to
function? The anticipation of was I going to get
a panic attack? For a long time, I was told, You
need to face your fear which was to sleep without
any medication help or without anybody and just
sleep in your room in the dark and then be
afraid. Just face your fear, be afraid, then move
through being afraid.

Are there other things that have worked for other
people?
What are some things that they would write to be
able to dissolve their anxiety?
EMILY
EMILY
A lot of people talk to me about writing. Free
writing is something big that I see coming up.
People really find what worries them through
writing and theyre able to draw conclusions over
their worries with free write, which I think is
very effective
When you write, you can kind of talk to yourself
and you can make sense of why youre feeling
anxious. I say start a journal entry and just
write, why Im feeling anxious, and then write
all the stuff underneath why you feel anxious.
Then see what you can do to change that.

Anxiety
VS.
Depression
Emily Anxiety and depression can go
hand-in-hand. I like to refer to as depression
caused by anxiety, which, if youre feeling so
much anxiety all the time and you think youre
going to die, you eventually get depressed over
it, obviously. Depression, I would say, is more
of feeling overwhelming sadness compared to
anxiety, which is more of a feeling like you can
never sit down or rest and stuff like that. I
wish I could explain that in a better way.
13
Do you think that people need to take time off in
order to be able to manage their anxiety? Emily
I dont think that you need to fully go off work
or take a year off, but I do think that you do
need to sacrifice some time for healing because
if you dont, I really do not think its going to
help you and I think its going to just make
matters worse for you. Then maybe look into
local therapists, go talk to your doctor about
medication options, free write, or watch a funny
TV show, or go for a walk. If you like biking, go
biking. If you like hanging out with people that
make you laugh, then do that. Just do stuff
thats for you and then youre going to get into
the groove where you dont feel as guilty for
healing yourself and taking care of yourself

Just to help herself, she does pleasurable things
like writing a book. She actually finished a book
thats being published by Balboa Press. She is
a passionate follower of Gabrielle Bernstein. In
the new book, Miracles Now , it talks about
kundalini meditation and thats kind of how Emily
got into it.
15
Is it hard to believe in yourself?
Emily Yes, it definitely is. I would say, say it
and you dont have to believe it. When I first
started doing this kind of stuff, my mom is a
very spiritual lady and shes great and she
taught me how to do affirmations and stuff like
that. She used to write my affirmations for me
and put them all over the house and say, Emily,
you need to say these. This is going to help
you. Id say, No, its not. Its not going to
help me.   I actually started repeating them
and I didnt believe them at first, but
eventually, I relaxed into my body, or I switched
my love dialogue, or I went out and did something
that changed my mind. I love to ride my bike and
I listen to music, and that calms me down and
puts me back in connection with love. You
definitely dont need to believe them and you
wont believe them at first, especially if youve
been so conditioned to believe that youre bad,
youre fearful, youre nervous, or anything like
that. Affirmations change the neural pathways in
your brain, so it changes the way subconsciously
that you think, so thats why theyre so
effective.

When Life Works Out List of Emily.
You just write everything you love doing.
Everything when you feel youre having a good
day, whatever happens on those kinds of days, you
write on the list. Then if you have a bad day,
you can go to this list and do the items. This
would be an example You would write, When My
Life Works Out at the top of the page of your
journal and then you would write anything that
makes you happy.   For me, its when I write,
when I go to the beach, when I share something
Im passionate about, when I laugh with genuine
people, when I spend time with my mom, when I
plan a trip or go on one, when I go biking, when
I go to my dads class, when I watch my favorite
shows, when I cook delicious food, when I go out
to eat delicious food, and when I meditate. These
things are very simple. Its not meant to be a
list thats complicated or feature activities
that cost a lot of money. Its really just meant
to be easy granted stuff that you love doing.

You really just need to believe in your power and
really realize that you are powerful beyond
measure. You are incredibly powerful. You have no
idea what you can create.   You just need to
have that moment of believing in yourself,
believing in your power, and thinking that you
can make it happen. Even though you dont think
like that all the time. - Emily

Advice to people who feels like struggling and
kind of trapped by their circumstances?
Emily I can tell them Ive been there,
definitely. My audience is teens and young
adults, so a lot of the people who read my blogs
are still either living at home or theyre still
in high school, so theyre kind of put in this
box of circumstances. They cant go out in the
world and do whatever they want. Theyre still
dependent. Even if youre a young adult and
youre on your own and youre dependent on your
job that you hate because thats what pays your
bills. I understand that and I understand how
frustrating it is to try to deal with regular
life dues and then deal with an anxiety disorder.
  I commend you for being here and for actually
just listening to this because just by listening
to this, youre proving to yourself that you are
ready to believe in your power. To follow that
power, even though you are in circumstances that
arent ideal, I think when youre not where you
want to be you have to focus on where you want to
be.
