We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety. After I left university, I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work. One day she invited me to her and her family back home. I wanted to, but I would have to travel there and I knew we would be in a very rural area. How would I cope with my ?
Then one day it to me that I had a life to live. I could choose to let anxiety me or I could go to Morocco and something different. I was 23 years old and had never been out of the UK alone. The journey to Morocco something inside me. I managed to cope with my anxiety. The sense of was overwhelming and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone, I remember how it felt when I arrived in Morocco.
Upon arrival I was so for the generous wele I received. My friend’s family had arranged a wele party. The people were so loving toward me. As a moment of felt in a faraway village, this reminded me that I was “good enough”, which helped to my anxiety.
Waking up the next day, in the morning light, I saw the area where we were. I was by how rural it was – and the realization that these people had very few .
In the days afterwards, I traveled around Morocco. We went to Marrakesh and the Atlas mountains. We had the most amazing food – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
At the end of my something inside me had changed. I realized I had not felt anxious for nearly two weeks.
Experiencing a different culture far away from home helped me to realize what is important in life, what really , and with that my anxiety . When I returned home I was much more active in my anxiety. Working with people, helping them their anxiety, is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.
