Just like so many people, I suffered from severe anxiety and countless fears that put some serious limitations on living the life that I was meant to live. I had all the classic symptoms; tunnel vision, panic attacks, body shakes&#8230;you name it, I had it. I had been to the emergency room so many times that I had started going to different hospitals for fear of being recognized as \u201cthe crazy regular\u201d by the nurses, which is not embarrassing at all (<em>sarcasm speaking!<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After about 20 years of not believing in the doctor&#8217;s anxiety diagnosis and hundreds of missed opportunities there was one morning that I was literally curled up on the floor of my bedroom. I remember it so clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I was tired. So tired of all the restrictions that anxiety had placed on my life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was tired of not being able to live the life that my heart wanted and, in that very moment, I was finally ready to do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">If you are interested in how I tackled my anxiety read my <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/overcoming-anxiety-tips-to-facing-your-fears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8&nbsp;Tips to Facing Your Fears<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Annette White at Pemaquid Peninsula in Maine\" class=\"wp-image-39495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-200x150.jpg.webp 200w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-600x450.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/02\/IMG_9461-2-2-800x600.jpg.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Life-Changing Promises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That painful morning, the being fed up with the fear combined with the exhaustion led me to make two life-changing promises to myself. The first was to <em><strong>never let fear make my decisions for me<\/strong><\/em> and the second was to <em><strong>start living my bucket list<\/strong><\/em> by taking at least one step towards my goals every day. From then on when an opportunity presented itself and I wanted to say no, I would ask myself if that negative is the voice of fear. <em>It almost always was fear speaking. <\/em>In that case, I vowed to turn that no into a yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two promises, along with a crapload of hard work is what led me to creating a career out of my passion for bucket lists. And because of that I have had some of the <strong>best<\/strong> experiences all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2
