Heightened Anxiety (Part 2)
So much great information to process, but information can only take me so far. I am a doer, so I need to start DOING something to change things. Suggestions I found include:
"Breath long slow breaths"- It's amazing how often I actually find myself literally holding my breath.
"Invite rational brain in" (look at what is-what do I know for sure, what are the facts, what do I not know and where/who do I go to get it)." This is so me...well this WAS so me...I gotta get back to it!
"Develop some go-to mantras" This one has always been a favorite...
Be in the moment-practice mindfulness
Worry always lives in the future
"Self-care comes first: sleep, water, diet, exercise , mindfulness gratitude." LOL for days at the first example, but I can definitely take care of the others. The diet and exercise piece especially. I feel like I have been given myself a pass since I lost all of my pregnancy week in like 5 weeks (Thanks anxiety!), but need to focus on eating better and attempting some type of exercise besides walking)
Also, I'm going to give this book a read and see what else it can offer. Wish me luck!
