How I’m Tackling Driving Anxiety—One Small Step at a Time

After a traumatic accident, even sitting in a car would send my anxiety through the roof. I started journaling daily, writing things like, “I love driving. I am a great driver.” It felt silly at first, but over time, my mindset shifted. I began with tiny steps—just sitting in the driver’s seat in my driveway. Gradually, I built up to short drives around the block. Grounding scents and deep breathing help me stay present. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. Have you faced driving anxiety?
