Managing stress & anxiety

Managing stress is often a battle we face with the struggle to cope, and common model of coping is "keeping above water." Every now and then the food rises and coping skills supposedly being able to hold your breath until the flood subsides, most of us do this when we shouldn't. However, it doesn't work like that. Our perception of it is more like there's no water to keep head above. Being able to see things in this way requires a change in how we see things in the world as changing your mind positive thinking. There's a common phrase "shit happens" misery is optional this means you should stay in a job, relationship or situation you hate, feeling flood rising is your choice! You could ask yourself what has stopped me from making the next move? Mostly likely fear of course, I know the feeling myself the government of New Zealand doesn't care who they put in the work world they just want less people on the benefits this can cause us anxiety not knowing where it is going. Just remember you can handle these life events if you choose to stand strong, no matter what the world throws at you stay strong happiness is a choice we make and misery. Fear is a choice as well.

  Building Self-Confidence & Resilience Confidence, Kiwi-Style: You Don’t Need to Be Loud to Be Strong. 💪  You don’t have to shout to believe in yourself. Real confidence is quiet. It’s grounded. It’s knowing who you are—even when the world is loud. In Aotearoa, we often mistake humility for invisibility. But  whakamanawa  means rising with courage, not ego.
