Anxiety: 10 little reminders 💗

I decided to share 10 little reminders to consider when you're feeling anxious. Check them out below! 👇🏼

• Focus on what's in your control

• Remember that not all thoughts are true

Often, we think negative thoughts and fear the worst will happen.💜

• Take a few slow deep breaths

• Check-in and listen to your inner voice

Keep in mind that not all negative thoughts are true. With that being said, what does your inner voice tell you? Why is she right or wrong? 💜

• Treat yourself with gentle loving-kindness

Self-care and self-love go hand in hand.💜

• Get more sleep

6-8 hours of sleep every night 💜

• Exercise (relieve stress)

Take a quick jog around your neighborhood. Away from home? Take a brief walk outside to clear your mind. 💜

• Simply notice that you are anxious (what are you feeling? What is your body doing?)

My therapist taught me to look for what my body is telling me when I start to feel anxious. Are my hands shaky? Heart beating faster? What are my emotions? Confused? Sad? Angry? 💜

• Deal with something you have been avoiding

It doesn't matter if you have been avoiding talking to someone or avoiding issues at work or school. In either case, putting yourself in a position to face it head-on will serve you better. 💜

• Turn off the screen

Switch on Airplane mode and give yourself a reset. We're attached to our phones for the majority of the day, anyway. 💜

I hope you find these helpful
