Anxiety and Dreams

January 26, 2014 by Denise O'Doherty

“A head full of fears has no space for dreams”

“What if’s” and worrying, can increase our anxiety. anxiety-and-dreamsIt can take control out of our life.  “What if’s” are a sigh that we have reverted to thinking that people have to react in a particular way for us to be happy. They are also a clue that we may be wondering whether we can trust ourselves to do what’s best for us. Most of the things we worry about, never happen. Try and replace thoughts of fear, with faith in yourself that you know more than you think you do and that you can handle your life well, one day at a time. Sometime that leaves room for dreams where the possibilities are unlimited and things work out with ease.

For additional information regarding the effects of anxiety on your dreams and sleeping habits, feel free to contact me below.
