Anxiety Relief: Tools For A Calmer Mind
Anxiety Relief: Tools For A Calmer Mind
We have all been there - thoughts swirling and obsessing, worrying over everything, feeling overwhelmed and out of control.
You are tired
Have headaches
Maybe even a rapid heartbeat
You are not alone…
Tools for a calmer mind:
This is something I work closely with clients on because anxiety can truly be harmful for our health. BUT this is NOT your fault. Usually we aren’t taught how to deal with our thoughts and feelings. AND typically anxiety is actually a SYMPTOM of something else at play…
Here are a few tools for you the next time this happens:
PAUSE & BREATHE! Inhale for 3 slowly and exhale for 3 slowly at least 3 times
JOURNAL: Write down 3 things you CANNOT control, 3 things you CAN control and 3 things you are doing well
Do something that grounds you:
Walk on grass
Take a bath
Massage
Read
Walk outside
Enjoy life!
Ask yourself, “why am I feeling this way?”
If you do not know the answer, I recommend adding walks to your life. They are very calming and can help us process underlying issues.
There may be something else at play since anxiety is a symptom… For example, you could..
Be hungry - when is the last time you ate?
You could have low nutrients - is your diet full of calming nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins
You could have high copper
You could have unresolved trauma
You may need to work on transforming your mindset
Good news -
You do not have to figure it out by yourself!
You can ask for help! From a partner, friend, therapist, or me so you can relieve your anxiety, wake up in the morning feeling happy and free.
