Member's Daily Roll Call Sunday, February 22, 2009

 

Goodmorning everybody..or should I say goodnight to everyone here in oz.  I just wanted to join the the role call to say I am still here.  I dont actually have any regime for anxiety at the moment. I generally deal with it one day at a time.  I guess the way I am dealing with it or keeping it under control at the moment is by conciously staying in the moment and remembering it is my mind and I have total control over it.  'A thought is just a thought' and 'a thought can be changed or replaced'.  By doing this in the early stages of anxiety I feel I am able to minamise the severity of the attack.  I have also slowed my life down and made it quite simple, basic...work, kids, family not much else.  It is much less scary that way for the time being.   gillxx

* Herbs, aromatherapy...work really well for me. :)
* Massage :)
* Eating well :) (Less red meat, lots of veggies and fruits)
* Music and meditation for my breathing and relaxation. :)
* Going to the park, beach, whenever it is possible. :)

Hey,

I do some light yoga, walking, (meditation and prayers plus vitamins), eating healthy, lots of water, a few herbs when needed and entertainment is great :) I also would like to have some accupuncture and a deep tissue massage one of these days when I can afford these luxuries.

Hope all is doing good today!

Hi Melodee :)  How have you been doing?

The best place to start for learning yoga is YouTube.  You just go on there and type in "yoga videos" and there are lots of them.  There is also vids of martial arts and other cool exercise stuff :)  I would start there, and if you can, go to the library and check out a few books that has tons of pictures in it.  There will also be other things in there on health :)

Take care now!

Your Bro Sam :)

Hi Sam :)

I'm doing ok.

Haha, I watch youtube everyday and I never thought of searching for yoga videos. LOL That's a great idea and it's all free!

Well I just checked some out and some of those people are VERY flexible. I think it will take months for me to learn to bend like that LOL!

Thanks again Sam, good luck with your yoga exercises, too!

Love Melodee :)
