Welcome to Live and Laugh: Your Weekly Dose of Motivation and Joy

  Anxiety doesn’t just live in your mind. It weaves itself into your soul — draining your energy, clouding your peace, and silencing your joy. It shows up in the middle of the night, in the quiet moments, and sometimes, in the middle of a crowd. If you've ever felt exhausted by the weight of your own thoughts, like you're running but never resting, this is for you. This isn’t just about managing symptoms. This is about healing . Not just on the surface — but from the inside out. The Difference Between Coping and Healing Many of us have learned how to cope with anxiety: breathe deeper, think positively, stay busy. These strategies can help. But real transformation starts deeper — in the soul. Coping gets you through the day. Soul rest gets you through the storm .

And it starts with permission — to slow down, to feel, to heal . ...

In this blog, we're going to walk through tools—real, practical, and powerful—that can help calm your mind and bring you back to center when anxiety tries to take over. 1. Name It to Tame It The first step in calming your mind is  awareness . When you feel panic rising, pause and  name  what you're experiencing: “This is anxiety. This is fear. This is not permanent.” By acknowledging it instead of fighting it, you take the first step toward reclaiming your control. Anxiety thrives in the unknown. Naming it starts to disarm it. 2. Anchor Yourself in the Present Panic lives in the ...

And your mind? It listens. It absorbs. It believes. So here’s the question: What have you been telling yourself lately? The Inner Voice That Shapes Your Life Most people don't even realize how cruel they are to themselves. We speak words inside our head we’d never say to someone we love. “I’m so stupid.” “I’ll never get it right.” “I’m not good enough.” “What’s the point in trying?” And the scary part is — when you say these things enough times, your brain starts to believe them. Not because they’re true. But because repetition is powerful. That’s how beliefs are formed. Your Mind Is Always Listening The brain is like a sponge — it soaks in whatever you feed it. So if all you give it are thoughts of fear, failure, and self-hate, it begins to filter the world...
