Hello everybody,

I have been noticing that I have a bad habit of not doing much and giving up easily. I have been trying to walk more, because muscle tension in my legs is pretty bad and it causes a great deal of anxiety. I have the tendency to stay in bed most of the time and it's been like that for months, if I do something that tires me a bit it triggers high anxiety and panic attacks. Another another thing is I worry a lot, I basically live inside my head and it so frustrating cause it's very hard to stop. Any ideas you have that I can try?

SB,

First of all...well done in recognizing and identifying the things you want to improve upon! This is a huge part of making the desired changes right there.:)

For the exercise...finding a way to keep accountable can help. You can find a walking buddy, so it is not as easy to skip days...or make a chart as a visual reminder. You can event journal about it here. All these things will make keeping your goals more necessary since the participation/results are tangible.

For getting out of your head and managing worry...have you tried the therapy worksheets from our Resources? They are key for combating worrisome thought patterns. Give them a try and see how they help.:) (let me know if you need the direct link)

Again, great job on seeing the areas that you can work on to feel your best!

High fives, and keep us posted,

S.C.
