Happy quick tip tuesday!!
If you prefer video/audio, hit play. If reading is more your jam, keep scrolling. 😉
…and for the love of everything holy, I have no idea why my videos upload with me looking like I use a filter (it doesn’t look this way on my phone).
Since having a baby, everything overwhelms me. My poor nervous system is constantly fluctuating between sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and dorsal (freeze) energy.
Yesterday, I caught myself shifting out of the present moment and into a state of overwhelm at the thought of alllll the things I needed to get done.
Knowing that this leads to anxiety and agitation (for me), I immediately brought awareness back to my present moment.
I redirected my attention to what I was doing in the moment and I reminded myself of the task I was currently working on. I brought awareness to my body, relaxed my muscles, and slowed my breath.
If you’re like me, where the moment you leave the present moment you’re anxious, give this tip a shot.
Come back to the present moment.
Remind yourself of the task at hand. Notice the details of what you’re doing.
Relax your muscles (tense muscles increase anxiety)
Slow your breath and engage in belly breathing (I’ll teach you how in a future quick tip tuesday so stay tuned)
It also never hurts to make a to-do list and just tackle one.thing.at.a.time.
I promise you, worrying about how you’ll get it all done will only lead to anxiety.
I hope this helps!!
Until our next chat,
biggest hugs
