Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 22

Hey sistaaa girl, a question for you: what do you crave when you’re feeling anxious?

Do you crave attention when you feel anxious? Or is it food, hugs, or cuddles that you crave?

Do you crave alcohol or drugs, or both when you are anxious? Or is it an emotional or physical connection with someone else?

Today’s episode is a bit heavy, but one you need to hear, so you can identify your habits and tendencies in response to anxiety.

If you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety and in the habits that feed it after it has passed, this episode is for you. I pray that this will help you uncover how you respond to anxiety, so you can get rid of anxiety’s strongholds. So, grab a pen and your notebook (a note on your phone will do!), and let’s dig in.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Identify the habits or tendencies in response to anxiety.

• Find out what you should do to replace the not-so-great tendencies with God-honoring tendencies.

• Get rid of the strongholds holding you back & pushing you down, so you can be filled with God’s joy and peace.

“Whatever the thing is, if it is not bringing you closer to the Lord, perhaps it is the thing you need to give over to the Lord.”

02.44 – During my Daniel fast in January, there were moments when I craved something very specific.

05.14 – Questions you need to ask to help you identify habits or tendencies you have in response to anxiety; and the cravings I also struggled with for a long time.

07.12 – Admittedly, it took me a very long time to go from deciding I needed to stop using drugs to actually stopping.

11.15 – The desire, the craving to be in control is, essentially, me wrestling with God.

12.19 – This is my prayer for you if you are suffering from anxiety or depression.

Key Takeaways:

• Anxiety is not an easy condition and it’s not as simple as “shutting off your thoughts.”

• Try to sit with the discomfort of these reflection moments instead of running from yourself.

• Trying to always be in control leads to anxiety.

• Talking to others or joining a support group can help relieve anxiety.
