Goodbye to 2021, another year that caught us ALL off guard. 2022: New Year, New Start? We certainly hope so. But, if we still have this pandemic…have to be in lockdown…anticipate more variants… hold off seeing loved ones, where is the new start? It can feel demoralising, frustrating and cause a ton of anxiety. In all honesty the only changes we can make will take place within ourselves. What transformed my life and still does, every day, is something that I learned when I studied with a Buddhist monk: Don’t Resist What Is A simple but powerful mantra for living an anxiety free life. But what d ..read more

Writing is a brilliant way of helping to speed up recovery from anxiety. Studies show that writing acts as a shock absorber against excessive thinking, which is something we all do when we’re anxious. Writing, instead of thinking, helps to get problems out of the mind and onto paper. This gives us a better perspective and helps us to find solutions. It also gives us reassurance that we can manage day-to-day problems. When you look back through your journal entries of even a few days ago, you will see that you got through a difficult period and this will give you the courage to continue. You ca ..read more

Todos tenemos nuestras preocupaciones sobre el futuro y, en muchos casos, este tipo de preocupación es útil[1]. Como estar preocupado por esa fecha, puede animarte a ver lo mejor de ti mismo. Pero cuando esa preocupación natural se te escapa y se convierte en un tipo de ansiedad crónica, cambia -literalmente- la química de tu cuerpo. Es posible que te centres en las cosas negativas de tu vida, y esto es habitual en las personas, especialmente con problemas de ansiedad. Cuando llevas la preocupación a un extremo patológico, es tan intrusiva e incontrolable que puede producir una cantidad signif ..read more

写作是帮助加速从焦虑中恢复的一个绝妙方法。研究表明，写作对过度思考起着减震器的作用，而过度思考是我们在焦虑时都会做的事情。 写作，而不是思考，有助于将问题从脑海中释放出来，写在纸上。这给了我们一个更好的视角，帮助我们找到解决方案。它也给我们以保证，我们可以处理日常问题。当你回顾几天前的日记条目时，你会发现你度过了一个困难时期，这将给你继续下去的勇气。 你可以买一个你喜欢写的特殊笔记本，但要把它放在安全的地方，因为你不希望别人读你写的东西。它只适合你的眼睛。 有一种写作技巧我想告诉你，需要更多的介绍和解释，那就是非主导性写作。 非主导性写作 非主导性写作的目的是帮助你进入你可能已经忽略了多年的自己的那些部分。当我们焦虑的时候，我们与隐藏在内心深处的明智的、有时是脆弱的部分不相协调。 然而，我们的这个明智和敏感的部分充满了关于如何使我们的生活变得更好的智慧。随着年龄的增长，我们倾向于推开这些本能，在这个过程中，我们推开了我们的创造力，这是我们幸福的根本。我们都有应对我们所面临挑战的答案，当我们与生活中的问题作斗争时，就需要与我们隐藏的那部分重新结合起来，以帮助我们重新站起来。 非优势手写作是用你不写的那只手来写的。 如果你用右手写字，你的非优势手就是左手，如果你用左手写字，你的非优势手就是右手。你的非主导手与你的直觉和情感相连，而你的主导手则与你的意识、思考方面相连。 ..read more

When we go to the doctor because we’re unable to cope with life, the doctor’s first treatment choice is antidepressants. Antidepressants are widely used for depression. However, doctors will admit that they although they may not cure depression, they could reduce symptoms like low mood or insomnia. There is definitely a difference in the way certain antidepressants work and you might find that you have to try one or two before you decide which one works best for your particular symptoms. The first time you use an antidepressant it may work fine but then again, it may not, in which case its im ..read more

We all have our concerns about the future, and, in many cases, this type of worry is helpful[1]. Like being worried about that date, it might encourage you to see the best in yourself. But when that natural worry runs away with you and becomes a crazy type of chronic anxiety, it - literally - changes your body chemistry. You may be focusing on the negative things in your life, and this is usual for people especially with anxiety issues. When you take the worrying to a pathological extreme, it’s so intrusive and uncontrollable that it can produce a significant amount of distress in the body bec ..read more

Exercise, whether at the gym, at home or on the sports field, can be a brilliant way to help manage your anxiety. Apparently, when we exercise, science has proved that it releases feel-good endorphins, the natural cannabis-like brain chemicals that we all need to enhance our sense of well-being. It also takes your mind off your worries so you get away from the ruminating (cycle of negative thoughts) that winds up your anxiety. Cardio Cardio is great because it pushes your heart rate up and is the best known anxiety-buster in the game. Cardio exercise includes everything from swimming, run ..read more
