You Are Worthy of Time and Space
Anxious feelings are tough to deal with. They can present themselves in numerous forms and can stem from a multitude of causes. One specific issue I personally deal with is the fear of taking up too much time and space. This causes me to rush from place to place, in fear of walking too slowly …
