ADAPT TO LIFE

                                            ADAPT TO LIFE

Change can bring all emotions up and dread is one of them. Life keeps moving and we are either going with it or defeated. Sometimes we have to step back to move forward. Change is like medicine that you may not like. But you receive a good result from taking it. 

Change can be painful, but it causes you to grow. Be open to new changes, and become more open to the unexpected gems that is before you. We all need help at times. The strength you build up now will help in the future. 

We cannot control the events of change in our life, but we can control how we react to the impact that these events have on our lives. 

A couple of healthy lifestyle changes:

Eat a healthy lifestyle

Exercise regularly

Get enough sleep

HOW TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY

                                           HOW TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY



                                       

 

Have you ever felt your heart beating fast because of a stressful situation. Have you ever been overwhelmed with a task and your palms began to sweat. I know what it's like to deal with anxiety. I have had panic attacks, been anxious. So I do understand your struggle. And at times I still deal with it. 

Look at yourself. We all have things that trigger our Anxiety. When something triggers your anxiety write it down on paper. 

Try breathing in for 4 counts and breathing out for 4 counts for 5 minutes total. By evening out your breath, you’ll slow your heart rate which should help calm you down.

Aromatherapy is thought to help activate certain receptors in your brain, potentially easing anxiety.

Certain Supplements that can help you:

• Dark Chocolate 
• Omega 3 Fatty Acids
• Green Tea 

SIGNS OF ANXIETY: 

Excessive worrying that lasts for months

Feeling restless, keyed up, or on edge.

Being easily tired.

Having difficulty concentrating, or having your mind go blank.

Being irritable.

Having tense or sore muscles.

Having difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or having restless, unsatisfying sleep.

The best strategy is to confront the feared situation. Use structured problem solving to deal with stress that may contribute to worry.
