Success for everyone who has overcome their anxiety will look and feel very different. Below are general descriptions of what success can look and feel like for you, as it does for others.
Life after anxiety (or as you overcome anxiety triggers) can mean:
Life after anxiety makes you better prepared for life’s pressures because no matter how much you try and shield yourself, having a career, or business, having a family and friends, having your own expectations creates pressures. So instead of trying to avoid life’s pressures coaching yourself out of anxiety can have added benefits.
Benefits Include:
You start to understand why you developed anxiety and also what was keeping you in the cycle of anxiety
Your life moves on from your struggles with anxiety
You fully recover and become a much stronger person for it
Trivial things do not bother me anymore
You feel more confident than you have been since anxiety
You fear your symptoms far less, they don’t seem as important
You stop reaching out to others to help you overcome your anxiety and fear
You stop reading self help books, talking with professionals about anxiety
You stop wasting large amounts of money on different approaches and techniques, you have one trusted approach that helps you with all types of anxiety
You feel freer
Fear stops controlling your life
You don’t try to avoid fear or try to escape any situation that triggers fear

You begin to see that fear is a natural by product of fearful thinking that you can control.
You learn how to retrain your mind to no longer feel anxious
Your mind is no longer being constantly busy
You stop being hyperaware of yourself, your thoughts and actions
Fear is the number one fear for anxiety sufferers. If we were to sum up how someone with anxiety lives each day, it would be “Fuelled By Fear”. But fear doesn’t start with a fearful event, it starts in the mind and quickly escalates unless we get control over it. Coaching yourself out of anxiety, gives you back the control over how you ‘see’ what you see.
Benefits Include:
You are more in control of how you respond therefor you can take more control
You stop listening to your negative thoughts finding it easy to now make decisions
You start to take more action because once you get control over your negative thinking there is nothing stopping you

Little things don’t bother you as much, if at all
You know what triggers your anxiety, stress and worry and can nip them in the bud
You naturally wake up in a better mood
You know you can always cope which gives you renewed confidence in yourself
You no longer wonder if you’re going to have a panic attack or feel anxious that day.
You are more calm and if you do get triggered you have tools to either calm or eliminate the anxiety.
