Anxiety..what is it really?
It is an intense, excessive and persistent worry or fear about everyday situations. A fast heart rate, sweaty palms and rapid breathing may occur when feeling anxiety. Yes I have experienced this and I have found ONE thing that really helped me stay in control with my feelings. MEDITATION. Now I know some of you may laugh at this, but hear me out.
Up until about four years ago, I was a walking nightmare! Everything would make me anxious and stressed. I would get nervous about having to do anything that involved a lot of people (Different story now) But I still feel like this sometimes and then my amazing husband reminds me of what I have to do. MEDITATE. Meditation is the quieting and stillness of the mind. The oneness we have with our breath. Let'a face it life is pretty crazy for this generation, fast paced and non stop yeah? Enter the beauty of meditation...
Anybody can meditate, there is no right or wrong way or time frame for which to do. As long as you can feel your breath and your chest rise and fall with each breath, you are meditating my friend. Now I want to walk you through a meditation process. How does that sound? Let's begin..
- Find a quiet comfortable place you can sit and relax.
- Let your body feel like jelly, nice and loose then close your eyes and begin to feel your breath.
- really feel each inhale and exhale of the breath
- With each breath out feel the tension, anxiety and stress just melt away. Imagine it flowing straight out of your body.
- Anything that pops into your mind see it as clouds rolling by, acknowledge them and let them go like clouds floating by.
Now is this simple, no of course not if you have never done it before or have trouble slowing your mind down. But every time you do it it becomes easier and feels so dang good TRUST ME. I learned to have so much more control over my mind. Just to clear it up some people think you need to meditate for an hour or more every day. No no no, you do what you can. Even if it is just 5 minutes to close your eyes and just breathe, that's great! and if you choose you can gradually do more as you get more comfortable sitting with yourself and building a strong bond with your mind and body.
