Anxiety also puts my mind firmly on something bigger than myself. Maybe it’s that higher power we hear about in AA meetings and on award shows. It’s good for me to get outside my head and remember that I’m not in charge of anything. It’s helpful to only box within my weight class. 3. Anxiety teaches me to have good habits and boundaries. EXERCISE – in whatever style at whatever level you like. This is obviously good for the body and helps you concentrate on something other than your thoughts. Avoid self-medicating – even if you feel that’s the right thing to do, it’s probably not a wise idea in the long run

My point to this is that I make an effort to try not to do this OFTEN. AKA, I save my "rage your face off" moments for very special occasions and it's absolutely not a weekly occurrence. If I do decided to over indulge on the spicy margs, I make sure I am super kind to myself the next day and also practice a lot of self care to cope (baths, walks, naps, etc).MEDITATE – I can’t stress enough how much this has helped me, it’s like cleaning your mind.

You know anxiety has to do with your self-talk. You know that the more extreme language you use to describe things, even in your mind, that the more intense your anxiety will be (i.e., there is a big difference between saying to myself “I can’t take this!” and “This is uncomfortable, but I can handle it), but can changing your self-talk really help you feel less anxious? I mean, really? Having spent 8 years on 30mg prozac daily for a traumatic (to me) series of events that happened at work in 2015 I decided to come off it begining of the year.

So all 10 things I’ve listed WILL and I guarantee will change your mindset – mixed together it’s like a magic potion of fulfilment. So if you’re seeking to change the way you think, change the way you see the world – then just give it a go, what have you got to lose?

Big life changes are scary, confusing, and difficult to go through. They end up making you feel lost and uncertain about yourself, but they can also bring some of the most amazing opportunities. Join us for today's episode to hear how Madi and Breann deal with some of their big life changes and how it has affected their mental wellness. Anxiety is both a mental and physical state of negative expectation. Mentally it is characterized by increased arousal and apprehension tortured into distressing worry, and physically by unpleasant activation of multiple body systems—all to facilitate response to an unknown danger, whether real or imagined. According to Freudian psychoanalysis, a person who encounters challenging events may revert to an earlier stage of development as a way of coping. Psychologists call this age regression. Age regression involves a person adopting the behaviors of someone younger than themselves.

But if you can ask yourself this question in the morning or last thing at night, you’ll challenge yourself to think outside of your own bubble and more about the people you love.

Useful : Did you know studies have revealed that practicing gratitude can improve your physical and psychological health?I actually wet myself a couple of times in primary school, as I was too scared to get up in front of the whole class and go to the toilet.. HOW ridiculous! Take each day as it comes, keep making the right choices for your mental health and you’ll see a huge difference. While large, sustained doses can be bad for the liver, this is rare.

I’m not unkind, and I have a lot of compassion for people, but this is often expressed gruffly or too directly.
