Need a pep talk, PLEASE

Try walking around and get yourself a drink of water. That usually helps me - along with deep breathing. Can you call a friend or family member? Sometimes jus talking to someone helps.

Reepin , Good Morning and I respect you too !   Are you looking for my "Mom talk", something to make you smile or just a run of the mill, help me I am falling, talk? I will start with reminding you that in order to feel happiness you must take care of yourself first. I suspect you are  busy, busy, busy! Anxiety and stress can be so crippling. It’s hard to take time for yourself but so important so today, set aside a time for you to do nothing.  Sit quietly and watch all the fuss around you knowing that in your moment of quiet you are feeling at peace and nobody can take that from you. The Mom in me wants to give you a big hug and remind you that your child within may need some attention..............so gentle hugs winging their way to you. Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body. Laughter relaxes the whole body, boosts the immune system, triggers the release of endorphins and protects the heart. Time spent laughing is time spent with angels so hang on to those wings of yours and let’s share a few laughs. Thought Provoking Angel Sayings : A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint. Albert Schweitzer Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. G. K. Chesterton Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some has unwittingly entertained angels. The Bible In Heaven an angel is nobody in particular. George Bernard Shaw It's easy to be an angel when you are in heaven. Anonymous We are each of us angels with only one wing; to fly we need only embrace each other. Anonymous The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. George Elliot Philosophy will clip an angel's wings. John Keats      9. Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Thomas Carlyle I joined  a beautiful group of people who chose to make someone who has cancer smile. The group is called “Chemo Angels” and I have been an “Angel” for 14 months now. My job is   “special assignments”; each month I mail out letters, birthday, sympathy, inspirational cards and include many items with each card, pictures, notepad, jokes, prayer cards ETC. Thus I always have some angel stories hanging out in my head………………….today you received some angel smiles. Gentle Hugs, Kitt

Hang in there! Anxiety is never easy :) but were all here for you! Taking a walk or even laying back in a chair for a while helps me. Try this breathing technique I learned- cover one nostril, breathe in through your open nostril, then cover the over nostril, and breathe out the open one. Keep alternating. Helps regulate the breath. And this next one may seem silly but putting my and up over my head in a "Y" shape for about 100 seconds does the trick too. opens up my core and chest to relieve any tightened feelings. Sip some water, and maybe go online and look at baby animals :)

Great sharing here and I was reminded that I need to write in my journal.  It has been a few days and I need to have  talk with me...................no, it doesn't mean your crazy if you talk to yourself. One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody's listening    

Hugs,

Kitt
