Anxiety

As some of you would know I have been concern about my actions of last week. All based on anxiety. Fearing this behaviour would escalate into something I cannot control or overtaking me into some form of disorder, I sent out alarm bells to anyone who was listening. Thanks for all your ears. I feel much better and taking small steps to eliminate these feelings.

Fear is different than anxiety. Fear is more of a direct response to something specific. Anxiety is vague, for you cannot really pin point the reason. That is the frustrating part, since you want to fix it up to get rid of this feeling. Some days it can be OK, but then other days it cripples you from doing what you wanted to do.

As you know anxiety does not simply go away. Steps need to be taken to change this feeling. So far what has helped me is regular exercise. I am up at 6am to exercise with a partner for 45 to 60 minutes. Just through this I am sleeping better, and it is a wonderful time of the day to spend with someone you love. I am trying to have 8 hours of sleep. I am trying to do 10 minutes of yoga/mediation daily. This needs to be done when kids are not around or else the stress level fly high. Doing some gardening and spending time in the sun surrounded by nature (very Taurus Node). Finally  before sleep write down 5 things I am grateful for.me

What I will be doing in the coming weeks are

• picture myself confronting fears
• work out what is upsetting me and learn to react differently
• change my attitude about myself and my emotions
• keep practising relaxation techniques
• keep exercising
• tell people around me how I feel.
• and not be hard on my self
• listen to more Kate Bush
