I talk about anxiety, its positive sides (including advocacy for change) and how there can be a real comfort and power in sharing. I use examples from my recent trip to Melbourne where I travelled to see Billy Joel in concert.
Books that I found helpful in relation to anxiety are:
You Can Heal Your Life by Louse Hay, The Wisdom of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul and Letting Go by David R Hawkins.
One of my favourite mantras by Louise Hay: All is well, everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come. I am safe.
