Don’t fight or flee. Simply be. Be ok with what’s going on around you. Sometimes I get very anxious about my surroundings. Things I can not change immediately. I’m learning to simply be. To be ok with the mess in the kitchen, entryway filled with mail and toys strewn across the floor. It shows there’s life in our home. I started listening to a free app on my phone called Take a Break which has been helping me refocus and reground myself in my environment and simply be.
We certainly have to accept the messes & enjoy the better things in life :). Be happy. Be content!
Too true girlfriend!
Way to go, Shelly! I listened to it this morning and actually listened to the whole thing before I nodded off…I am going to listen it tonight again and adjust my position and keep my eyes open. I really plan on listening to it a couple of times a day for a few days. 🙂 I hate anxiety in situations and I am learning to deal myself, though I rarely go to many places any more. LOL! Have a great week!
It really does relax you doesn’t it?! Yea, can’t get TOO comfy. 😉 I’ve been doing it once/day and it’s helped tremendously! I’m glad you’re liking it!
Toys in my kitchen drive me insane. I’m not sure why, but a huge pile end up there everyday.
I think I need to check out this app so I can find my zen!
Man! I can’t imagine Sophie wanting to hang out in the kitchen other than pulling our legs to get her more food! 😉 Did you check the app out yet? I want to know if you like it. Give it a week at least.
I have been learning to simply be last month after the stress factor has been removed and enjoyed it immensely! I think I will definitely check that app out to really bring the message home!
Congratulations Ana! It’s a super hard thing to learn. I’m definitely still learning (as evidence of my minor anxiety attack last night when realizing how much I wanted to get done…all of which was not necessary to do right then!) I love the app and I hope you get into it too!
