Hey everbody, I hope you are doing well and enjoying the end of winter!

In my video, link here https://youtu.be/a6TKaL4fbtM i discuss the lessons I learnt when facing anxiety from a fantasy novel by Ursula le Guin
Called 'A Wizard of Earthsea'.

I there is a young wizard named Ged who accidentally summons a demonic shadow. And the story really focuses on the boys relationship to this shadow.
I think it is really interesting how the shadow is a metaphor for our anxiety. It can haunt you, pop up from nowhere and it is always just behind you.
But Ged finds a really brave way to beat this strange shadow and I think it can be applied to our mental health and anyone with an anxiety disorder as well.

Have a watch to find out, and please enjoy the day guys

Peace x
