*Plan, prepare, and practice
for things, especially for circumstances that trigger anxious feelings. To organize your day a little more creatively get my Magnetic Task Chart: Plan your day on purpose
*Exercise regularly, it helps
you focus on your breath, creates movement, and gets your systems flowing in the
body.
*Eat whole foods. Vitamins
and minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the body and mind.
*Get Creative! This helps
with focusing on the here and now. It keeps you grounded.
*Service. Thinking of others
more will get you out of your own issues. How can you help those in need of
your special talents?
*Face your fears head on.
Write your worries down in a journal and rip up the paper. Get it out!
*Massage. Rub magnesium
lotion on feet before bed. Most people are low in Magnesium. This mineral helps
promote relaxation.
*Focus on hope for better
times. “Great things are coming. You were meant to fly!” Millions of kids,
young adults, and adults struggle with Anxiety and Depression. You are not
alone.
*Stay Calm through deep
breathing. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Do this 10 times.
*Replace negative thoughts
with positive calming ones. Go to your happy place. A beach, forest, etc.
*Build gut health. All
disease begins or ends in the gut. Take Probiotics, Kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut.
Eat Fiber, limit sugar. Feed the good guys! The gut and the brain are
connected.
*How do you destress? Do that
daily!
*Pray and Meditate.
*Get outside and get some
sunshine and fresh air.
*Thoughts are very powerful.
What you focus on comes true.
*Carry a rock and squeeze it
when you feel anxious. It will draw your attention to the rock and not the
experience.
*Make a stress ball (a
balloon filled with flour), squeeze it to relieve tension.
*When you see the trigger,
help your child through one step at a time…patiently.
*Do these small steps to
healing, regular and repeatedly. Over time you will see relief and success. It’s
all about learning coping skills.
If you are not the one
suffering with Anxiety and Depression, and you just don’t understand, try to
refrain from judgment. It will just make it worse. We have no idea what people
are going through. Our job is to love them and try to help them.
