feeling anxious at this very moment?

OMG, my anxiety is so bad!

---

Anxiety is a common feeling. From isolation to feel consumed by the world, it manifests through a variety of different ways. You don’t necessarily have to label yourself as having an illness. But the lingering feeling, even on a good day, sure is extremely distracting. If you’re stuck at home, especially during a time like right now, what are some ways to alleviate anxiety and get back on track? Here are some tips that I gathered throughout the years that might help!

• Wrap yourself in a blanket

• Embrace yourself

• Journal down your feelings

• Meditate 

• Eat intuitively

• Develop a hobby that you LOVE and use it to distract yourself in the midst of an anxiety

• Set a timer (15-20 min)

Anxiety is just body chemistry! Practice compassion with yourself. Accept and normalize the feeling. You are not incapable nor unintelligent because of it. You are perfect the way you are.
