You can have anxiety AND be happy, successful and have a life!

I love, love, LOVE when people share about their experiences living with anxiety and still being able to enjoy their lives. Thank you @TodayShow and @CarsonDaly for including this important segment in today’s show. He shares that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, progressive muscle relaxation and exercise work to help manage his anxiety - all tools I practice with my clients (amongst others!). By working with a therapist, Mr. Daly shares that he has learned to embrace who he is and has the tools to work through those periods of anxiety.

"I may be a little anxious, but I know I'm going to be okay." Amen to that, Carson.
