Four tips for morning anxiety

1 Comment

I found this on the internet and thought some of you guys could use this as it is something I get quite bad worrying about the day ahead. Credit to healthyplace.com

  1. Attitude adjustment: when I accept my body is just doing its thing and that the uncomfortable feelings will eventually pass, the fear looses its power over me. The night before I tell myself I don’t need to get upset if I wake up with anxiety.
  2. Positive affirmations. Post them everywhere on walls , windows so when I wake up I see it straight  away.
  3. Eat something soon after waking up. It helps with low blood sugar levels. Eating soon after waking up is good for mental health.
  4. Distractions. Play on a game your phone or on a computer. I’ll make good distracting games post soon so follow to sees when I upload that. If you focus on something it will take your mind off your worries.

I hope you guys enjoyed is there are any suggestions for posts please leave them as a comment and I will try my best and do post on your suggestion.

Thanks

Inspiration

I don’t know about you but I’m all for inspirational quotes and music as you may have guessed so I thought as a very visual friendly post I would find some quotes and then you can feel a bit more inspired to keep going. This is tough and sometimes you may want to  quit but keep going you can do it.

The Summer Holidays. Part 2

Leave a comment

So I want to say that this is the last part as the last for weeks of the holidays were pretty much the same with only a few small changes. Also, I’m concerned that this series is a bit boring so I’m going to speed it up a bit.

Week Three and four

I was downstairs most of the time but spending at least two or three hours upstairs everyday and also texting my parents quite a lot when they left for work in the mornings. I’m not going to lie it was still really hard and I didn’t like it but I knew I had to do it.

Week Five and Six

These were the best two weeks I was downstairs baking with them and on week six even eating with them a little bit. My feelings were a lot less panicky and were more relaxed and i found that the end of the day came around in no time. The only thing I was mainly worrying about was going back to school at the end. I may also do a blog post about going back to school.

I’m sorry todays post wasn’t that good I didn’t really want to write todays post about this but I promised you guys and I don’t also want to start something and not finish it. So I hope you guys enjoyed the post please rate, comment, follow and check out the rest of the posts and I will see you guys next week.

So I thought this week we could add some music as a distraction because I’ve mainly been doing diary entry styles and thought you may have been getting bit board of them so I added a distraction type today. I hope you enjoy also please vote in the poll as it will help other people know which to listen to first.

Don’t worry be happy – Bob Marley

Roar – Katy Perry

Wake me up before you go go – Wham!

Walking on sunshine – Katrina and the waves

Thrift shop – Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

The lazy song – Bruno mars

Let me know if there are any others that I could add to the list.

The summer holidays.

Leave a comment

Now I was incredibly nervous about the summer holidays as I was spending it with my grandparents at my house from 8am until 3pm. I’m going to talk about my feelings and thoughts in three posts as six weeks in one is quite a lot so one third will be this week and the next will be next week and so on.

Week One

I was incredibly nervous but i only had to spend three days with my grandparents as my Mum was off the others. My sister had her party on the first day and that was quite scary as most of her friends have quite severe allergies and they were eating at our house but it wasn’t too bad. On the days when my grandparents were here I spent pretty much all my time in my room with my lunch and snack being eaten in my room. It sounds very OTT but when you felt like I did it was really necessary. The rest of that week was pretty much like that.

Week Two

We started the week by going to a festival that was last weeks blog post just use the search bar and type in ‘The Festival’ and it will come up with the story of the start of my week. The rest of the time was mainly with my parents so I wasn’t worried about that but after this week the small break of parents I had was over.

I hope you will enjoy this little mini series and like the category.

The Festival

Leave a comment

In the first week of the summer holiday i and to take an absolutely massive step that I wasn’t looking forward to I’m not going to lie it wasn’t too good but it was a learning experience and if i hadn’t of done that I may not have been as strong as I am today.

Day One

This day was mainly spent travelling and we also met up with our cousins and set up the tent.We had dinner and everything was alright because the festival hadn’t really begun.

Day two and three

Day two was alright but it kid of went downhill from there. On Day three I just wanted to go home but I knew I had at least until day Five until I could go home

Day Four

I wanted nothing else but to go home on that day we were not sure wether we were going to stay until the end of day five. We were going to call my councillor but it was a Sunday so we knew she wasn’t going to be in.

Day Five

We came to the decision that we were going to leave at lunch time today which I was glad about and my cousins stayed until the end.

All in all it wasn’t very nice but I am stronger than I was before. I think if I do it again next year I will be worried and nervous but I would probably handle it a bit better and keep improving each time. I was also never a great fan of festivals because of the beat and all the people, so I wouldn’t say I was that bad because even if I had’t got anxieties I wouldn’t be super exited. The days when it was good I did enjoy myself but the lows were really quite low :(.

I hope you like this style and hope to be doing more of personal experiences with a huge Disney special coming up with great detail and will probably take me five or so posts, anyway I hope you liked it see you next time.

Update

Well, welcome to a new blog post. It feels good to be back after a few months break. A lot has happened and a lot of fears have been accomplished. I know that each day I learn a new thing about anxiety but in these few months I have learnt so much and I hope I can share this with you. this is just a quick update to say I’m back and ready for action I feel that the break was necessary and I now have so many great updates to bring you. I have decided to not do the short every-other-week Wednesday  posts so I can focus more on the Sunday ones and make them better. I look forward to you reading the new future blog posts.

It can be achievable

2 Comments

Firstly sorry it’s a day late. But I want to talk about yesterday and how I kind of shocked myself. 

Yesterday I had to face my fears and go to a christening and an 80th family birthday party. It wasn’t easy that’s for sure but I did it and I’m gonna tell u how I did it this may not work for everyone but hopefully it will give you some ideas.

The christening 

That was my main worry I mainly used distraction as that works best for me. I took it slow and mainly ended up watching YouTube and the shaytards most of the time. Towards the begging in grand the end it was hard but then slowly got easier over time.

The party

I kind of felt so good after the christening I forgot my worries don’t get me wrong I was still nervous but not as much. I had a couple of wobbles but then I distracted myself and it was all ok.

Thanks for reading hope this helped these achievements will be up on the achievements page and feel free for you to comment yours as well it not just for me-lol.

10 things to remember

Leave a comment

When a panic attack starts sensible thinking stops. However panic will go if allowed to. Following these notes may not be easy but over time, will let the panic go easily.

1) Remember that panic feelings are only a normal reaction when you feel somethings too much

2) Remind yourself that the feelings cannot hurt you and nothing will happen.

3) Notice what is happening in your body now. Stay with the current moment. Calm down, take a deep breath and keep going

4) Thinking about what might happen isn’t going to help. Concentrate on the present moment.

5) Accept the feelings. Let them run through you and they will go quicker.

6) Monitor your level of anxiety give it a rating 10 the worst and 0 the best. You will see the level slowly go down

7) Stay in the situation. It will only get harder later on if you avoid it or leave.

8) Do your favourite breathing technique.

9) Relax your tense muscles.

10) Now continue with what you were doing

Hope this helped. Please share with your friends so they can be helped also feel free to check out the rest of the site it would make me 🙂
