first, we make the beast beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety by Sarah Wilson
4.0
If you have anxiety, you need to read this book. [b:First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety|34210334|First, We Make the Beast Beautiful A New Story About Anxiety|Sarah Wilson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1488372286s/34210334.jpg|55257551] is filled with tips and research based on Sarah Wilson's personal experience with anxiety since she was eight years old. It helped me recognize that I'm not alone and also helped me re-frame my experience in new and positive ways.
Wilson suggests that anxiety is not something that necessarily needs to be 'fixed' and in some cases can actually be beneficial. She advocates for more time spent with our inner selves, reflecting on our day, our emotions, and just generally 'checking in'. I know this is definitely something I could benefit from. In today's fast paced society, the pressure to do more, achieve more, and post it all online often gets to me and I am seemingly always in a cycle of diving head first into life, becoming overwhelmed and having to hermit for a while. Wilson's book reminded me that it's okay to just SLOW DOWN and seek peace inward, rather than outward.
Highly recommend.
