My Life with Anxiety – One Year Later with Therapy

Last year, I decided to find a new hobby.

I had two requirements:

1. It can’t involve a screen
2. It needed to be a creative outlet

First, I tried sketching. Back in high school I remembered I enjoyed sketching side profiles of human faces I’d find in magazines. So I thought, let’s give that a try!

I got a kit from Joanne’s and purchased a course on Udemy to refresh and improve my skills.

But I didn’t enjoy it.

The learning curve was a bit too high, so I knew I needed to try something else.

Randomly I stumbled upon hand embroidery. I’ve never sewn anything in my life. No one I knew personally embroidered. But I did some research and thought, why not?

Bought a starter kit from Amazon, watched quite a bit of YouTube videos, and I was hooked.

I’ve only completed a few pieces, and they take quite a bit of time, but embroidery has really helped provide a healthy outlet for my mental health.

Embroidering puts me in a somewhat meditative state. Time flies by without noticing, and usually I turn on a mindless show like Love Island UK or listen to an audiobook in the background.

I’m no expert, and I don’t plan on monetizing this hobby right now. But if you’re looking for a new creative hobby, I highly recommend giving embroidery a try!

Do you have a creative hobby that you love?

Self-discovery is about letting go of all of the expectations that society, your family, friends, or others have put upon you throughout your life.

It’s no longer caring about other people’s opinions of you, as much as possible.

It’s making choices that feel good to you. Not forced.

Of course, not all of this is easy all of the time, but embracing true authenticity does bring a sense of ease into your life.

Because you’re finally being yourself.

This is something that I’ve been working towards understanding for myself.

For others, embracing authenticity may feel a bit different than how it feels for me, but that’s the whole point, right?

October 2022 🎃

Filled with traveling for work, a couple Disney visits, and lots of cat pics 🐱

It’s been a busy month, including the creation for my new newsletter Living Authentically.

To be honest, it’s also been challenging mentally, but I know this phase will pass and I’ll grow even more from it.

How was your October?
