Not Good Enough: Understanding Your Core Belief and Anxiety: A Handbook
Do you suffer from anxiety and don't know how to control it? Do you ever have angry outbursts and want to stop?
In our society, most of us have learned to suppress our emotions. In fact, we often use coping strategies-like shopping, smoking, partying, eating junk food, binge watching TV, even getting angry-just so that we don't have to deal with them. But by doing so, we only increase our anxiety.
In Not Good Understanding Your Core Belief and Anxiety, Sabrina Trobak uses practical, mindful activities and strategies to help the reader better understand and manage their anxiety. First, she delves into the importance of understanding and then challenging your core belief. Your core belief-your self-perception-affects your present-day thoughts, actions, behaviours, level of anger and anxiety, and how you deal with your emotions. Your core belief is believing you are "not good enough, not important, not valued" or that you are "good enough, important, and valued." Sabrina states that by understanding your core belief, how it was derived, and how it influences your everyday thinking, you will be able to recognize how your behaviour affects yourself and others, resolve and challenge your unhealthy behaviours, and create a long-lasting change so that you can feel more confident in your daily life.

Life Changing
I finished this book about a month ago. I waited to review to see how it affected me, and it truly has been life changing. I'm 66 years old, and I wish I had read it years ago. There were so many decisions in my life that I made because my core values were not good enough, not important, and not valued. As the author teaches us, we choose the path that fits our core beliefs about ourselves. Now, I am creating new pathways of healthy thoughts, and my core is changing. I had terrible anxiety that woke me up at night and kept me frozen in the daytime. I had very little confidence in myself at all. Slowly, I am working through the fears by opening myself up to my emotions right when I first feel anxious. Best of all, it is sticking even a month later. I feel calmer, and all of the nagging voices I heard from my childhood are being resolved and fading away. Now I am good enough, I am important on this earth, and I am valued. I highly recommend this book. It was just what I needed.
