Do This to Ease Anxiety
No drugs required.
Gratitude.
It begins the moment I open my eyes with a simple prayer. Thank you Lord for this day. Another opportunity to try again.
Before my mind can be flooded with to do lists, worry, anxieties of yesterday and the inevitable fears of today,
I Say Out Loud 3 THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR TODAY.
Don’t over think, let it be simple and sincere. Today I am grateful to live in a safe part of the world. I’m grateful to be a funny person, apparently I make people laugh. I am grateful to have the day off which means I get to snooze just a little while longer.
Meditation.
It’s not about having no thoughts. Would be nearly impossible. Started meditation about connecting the mind and the body in stillness. Guided by the rhythm and magic of your own breath. I’ve learned to steady my mind and become mindful of my body. It’s incredible all the movements our bodies take us through on a daily bases which we don’t much thought to. If you’re like me your mind is usually wandering somewhere in far future or distant past, completely detached from the present moment. Learning to train my mind to be connected in the body and aware has helped bring calm and relaxation to my mind and body. Be Kind To Your Mind. Check out my favorite meditation app HEADSPACE.
