How I Deal with Anxiety as a Quiet Girl


Truth is:

I don’t like loud spaces.
I overthink what I said 5 hours ago.
Sometimes, my brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open — and none of them are loading. 😔

If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone.
This is how I manage my quiet chaos, day by day.

💬 1. I remind myself: “I don’t have to be loud to be heard.”

People may overlook the quiet girls in the room.
But that doesn’t make your thoughts less powerful.
I’ve learned to speak when it matters — and it still counts.

🧘🏽‍♀️ 2. I breathe on purpose

When my chest feels tight or my thoughts are too loud, I pause.
Close my eyes. Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6.
It helps. Always.

📖 3. I journal my “spiral thoughts”

Anxiety loves to stay in your head.
Writing it out on paper feels like letting it go.
Sometimes, I start with:

“Here’s what I’m afraid of…”
And just pour.

✨ 4. I create a comfort list

Whenever I feel anxious, I go to my list:

  • Music that calms me

  • Bible verses or affirmations

  • A cozy blanket

  • A favorite scent

  • A safe playlist on YouTube
    Even a 5-minute reset helps.

🛑 5. I don’t force social energy

If I need silence, I take it.
If I cancel plans, I don’t apologize 20 times.
Protecting my peace is part of my healing.

🧠 Reminder for you (and me):

  • You’re not too much

  • You’re not too quiet

  • You’re not broken

  • You’re not behind
    You’re healing. And that is brave.

Conclusion

Being a quiet girl with anxiety is not a weakness.
It’s a soft

How I Use the Pomodoro Technique to Stay Focused (Even on Lazy Days)

 How I Use the Pomodoro Technique to Stay Focused (Even on Lazy Days) Let’s be real: Some days, motivation just doesn’t show up. You sit at your desk with a to-do list and zero energy. That’s when the Pomodoro Technique saves me — every time. 🍅⏲️ What is the Pomodoro Technique? It’s a simple productivity method that breaks your work into short, focused chunks (usually 25 minutes), followed by short breaks (5 minutes). After 4 rounds, you take a longer break (15–30 minutes). It tricks your brain into staying productive — without feeling overwhelmed. Why it works for me: It keeps me from scrolling endlessly. I always know “break time” is close. I can get more done without the pressure of being perfect. Here’s how I use it daily: 📍 Step 1: Write my task list I keep it simple — no more than 3 big goals for the day. ⏳ Step 2: Set a 25-minute timer I use the app “Focus To-Do” or just my phone. During that time, it’s work only — no distractions. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Ste...
