Everyone experiences periods in their lives when they feel anxious. Perhaps things are not going well at work or your primary relationship is feeling really rocky. Maybe you’re struggling financially or your children are not doing well in school. Whatever the reason, living on the edge is simply no fun.

Working with your angels can help you to smooth out the rough spots and reduce your anxiety during these times of challenge. Here are 5 simple steps you can use to calm your nerves.

Give Yourself the Gift of a Few Moments of Peace

The first step to getting out of your anxiety is to find a moment for yourself. Just 15-20 minutes can make all the difference in the world! Find a quiet spot either indoors or out in nature. Turn off or mute your phone. Take a few deep breaths. Ask your angels to come sit with you and to calm your nerves and to surround you with a sense of peace. We’re going to be working with both your personal guardian angels as well as a few, very powerful archangels.

Get Help from Your Personal Guardian Angels

Everyone has at least two, personal guardian angels. These loving beings are always with you, though they are not allowed to intervene unless you ask them to. Their purpose is to help you have a happier life. By asking them for assistance, you allow them to feel happy and fulfilled!

Take a moment to focus in on the issues that have you the most concerned. Scan your feelings so that you can tune in and get real clarity on why you are feeling anxious. Then ask yourself “If I had a personal assistant standing by, what items would I want them to help me with? Tell your guardian angels what those issues are and that you’d very much like to have their help. Don’t get focused on how those challenges should get resolved. Leave the “how” to your angels. Ask them to handle things in the best way possible so that you can focus on the happier aspects of your life!

Break the Cycle of Obsessive Worrying with Archangel Michael

Archangel Michael is one of the most well-known in the archangel realm. He carries a sword made of light that can cut through energetic attachments of fear that are only getting in your way.

Ask Archangel Michael to use his sword of light to break the cycle of your obsessive thoughts so that you can focus on having a successful day.
