About
Like so many others, I have struggled with anxiety throughout my life. My anxiety only intensified after the birth of my children with work, household responsibilities, and the constant everyday vigilance that comes with taking care of someone besides myself. I began to frequently question and doubt myself. Am I doing this right? Am I doing enough for my family? Will we be ok? I was always worried that bad things would happen that I’d have no control over.
And then one day, after watching a series of YouTube videos about managing anxiety, I came across a video that was very frank: maybe things wouldn’t be ok--that was a distinct possibility. But…maybe they WOULD. Maybe they’d be better than ok. Which was when ‘What if it’s wonderful?’ popped into my head. After searching online for a shirt that said just that and not finding it, I decided to create some fun designs of my own which is what you’re seeing here!
Even though I still struggle with anxious thoughts daily, I’m learning to question their validity and be open to the possibility that everything will work out wonderfully. I wear these shirts as a reminder to myself that I am not my anxious thoughts and to try to find the good in each day. I hope these shirts encourage you to do the same.
In health and healing,
