Anxieties, panic attacks, and severe
worrying can take time for us to fully recover, and it is important to own
this. If we don't acknowledge the process of breaking out from bad habits into
new ones, we can get pressurised by our inner thought processes. If we think
just after one day, or one week, or one month, that it will be gone forever,
then I think we are living in denial over this. Our minds are like massive
computers and reprogramming them takes time because we have to forget the
habits to fully put them behind us. What won't work is when we are saying to
ourselves it is over, we are better, it's never going to happen again. This is
not a positive affirmation; for most of us it sets us up for a fall, because we
will all get anxious from time to time, and this is ok.
