When I’ve got a lot going on, I get pretty anxious. Tension headaches that keep me from playing outside with Sophie and no motivation to do simple tasks. I’m learning to deal with my stress through working out, meditation and a healthy diet. I’m also using a new mantra that was presented to me by Jeffrey right before BlogU15. What’s the worst that could happen? What is the worst thing possible? I was worried about flying alone, the pain in my ears, missing the layover, getting lost in a new place etc. Jeffrey asked ‘what is the second worst thing that could happen?’ (insinuating that dying in a firy plane crash would be the worst.) My answer was ‘I’d ask for help, I’d get on the next flight, I’d be late to the conference’ (in other words, nothing bad at all!) We have some major changes happening in our family right now and I’m needing to remind myself ‘What’s the worst that could happen’ more than once per day. It has really helped me to use this mantra in times of anxiety. What’s your mantra?
