Feeling anxious, impatient, worried, or stuck? To find your way back into alignment say to yourself, ‘this moment couldn’t be any other way.’ Or, ‘in this moment, I couldn’t be anywhere else.’ Or, ‘I couldn’t feel any other way right now.’ View yourself like you’re watching a movie that’s already been written, cast, and shot (with a happy ending). This simple perspective shift is the ‘acceptance’, the ‘let go’. And because you release the resistance to your negative thoughts and feelings, a new opportunity opens up!

Okay, first, let me say that there is no perfect way to deal with stress. The way you deal is the way you deal and as long as you're not hurting anyone, more power to you! However, we can all learn a thing or two by hearing how others deal. And let's face it, black women talking about our mental health is relatively new. So when I read 'Atlanta' breakout actress Zazie Beetz chatting about the refreshing way that she deals with anxiety in this month's Glamour mag, my ears perked all the way up!

I
am a believer in the idea we all have some level of anxiety. We all
deal with our issues differently but anxiousness, I believe, is
universal. Although, how anxiety affects a person's life and emotions is
unique. Understanding an individual’s reaction to anxiety is hard
because it’s different and unpredictable. Because of that, for an
individual, anxiety is even harder to explain. Some do an excellent job
riding around the city with their woes. I, like a lot of folks I know,
do a decent impersonation of someone who can handle life’s struggles. We
call it, “fake it until you make it.”
Sad part is, some of us fakers don’t make it. Those who deal with a
heavier weight of anxiety have a much harder time faking it. I mean, I
talk about the things which trouble me but it doesn’t stop the anxiety
attacks. It doesn’t always stop my mind from wandering.
