What helps you feel safe mentally and emotionally?
It's hard to live in exessive fear fear everyday but sometimes we need to think of ways to calm our minds as best as we can

If this is you, big comforting hugs milipede03. I can only imagine how hard it must be trying to get a clear mind to make daily decisions whilst being under high pressure due to excessive fear. Our minds and bodies need downtime, our nervous system needs to calm down so that our cortisol levels (stress hormones) go down too otherwise our immune system and memory (and much more) will be compromised. To me a good way is doing regular breathing exercises https://youtu.be/l7unHt9uACQ and having a good self care practise which also includes fun time to allow the mind to completely relax.
Thank yu so much its rlly difficult and hard for me to function

*For me:* prayer 🙏🏽, music 🎶 , and quality time alone to reflect/redirect. --- Thinking/focusing on positive moments from the past and present REALLY allow me to look forward to the future. I recognize and remind myself that my Creator hasn't given me a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love and sound mind. Therefore, I connect with that and present forward in that gift....and try to trust in that promise. It truly helps to remember that every situation I've faced in the past....well, I got through it and I'm still here....and will continue to overcome. It's just a challenging process in which our eyes cannot see, but our heart and soul most connect to. Peace and blessings to you! Stay well 💞
