Re: Anxiety-my 2 cents

[Guest guest]

Just my 2 cents here on anxiety.

-For women, if you are on the pill it could be a reaction to that.

I found that out the hard way. Even if you have taken it for a long time our

bodies change and can develop reactions.

-Make sure you remove or just distance all unhealthy people from your life.

This can take a long time but start now. Sometimes the people we are closest to

are making us sick because of the anxiety they cause us and we don't even

realize it.

-Never underestimate the power of meditation. It's been around for thousands of

years because it works with no side affects!!

-Simplify your life as much as possible! You probably don't have to fill up

your schedule as much as you think you do. It's OK to say " NO! " sometimes.

I've even stopped answering the phone for the most part. I let the machine

answer and I call back if and when I can.

-Lastly, be careful with caffine, especially coffee (even weak). We think it's

helping us get through the day but for many people it can have negative affects.

I used to feel much more anxiety in my life. After changing quite a few of these

things...even with 4 school age kids...I have very little anxiety. Peace is a

good thing and we all deserve it.
