You become much more grounded when your in a place you can reflect.
Walking through these woods with my boyfriend I realised how much I had achieved and how much I hadn't achieved how much I still have to achieve.
Its beautiful don't you think ? as I sat while Robsons played with his new gopro in the water I watched the world go by and watched the seals play in the water 3 of them in fact. I realised we live so much of out lives in the confines of fear that something bad is going to happen to us and what ifs. That we completely forget and neglect what's happening right now.
I sat on the bumpy cold rock with my scarf wrapped so tightly around my head.. I realised how lucky we really are to be alive and I hope most of you and I healthy. I for one have for the past 2 year's struggled to deal with my anxiety and fear of becoming ill but during so I have turned down so many great opportunity's and days out with friends and family my heads been filled with worry.
I spent so long on the internet and attending doctors appointments asking for awnsers until I realised all the answers in the world wouldn't stop my anxiety. I had to find my triggers and give myself time to relax. I soon found my triggers where a loss of control more personal matters I don't really feel like I want to go into right now so here I am on my little place in the internet telling you how Im overcoming my anxiety.
3 key things
*happiness
*time/space
*people you love
Its so important to be happy, to smile and see positives I know we all have shitty days (trust me ive had my fair share) but you know there's always a positive the main one of course is being alive. Do what makes you happy if that means sitting on the sofa eating pizza and a whole tub ben and jerry's nommmmm... then do it don't worry about the tabloids that say you cant eat this and that and that you need to fit into society because society is such a dangerous place. Make sure your happy before tying to please others. What's the point working endless hours in a dead end job that just keeps running you into the ground and makes you depressed. Instead find something you where meant to do. Don't be scared to test the waters here and there until you find something you love and if your to young to work then find a hobby I loved horse riding the feeling of being free and the fresh air as I rode.
I LOVED it.
Time and space once a week I take time and hour maybe two to myself I walk I sing I do whatever it is I need to have that time I can just think about things that are playing on my mind and just a tip I you decide to take a walk and sit somewhere take a notepad because there bound to be things that come rushing through your mind so don't fill your head with them write them all down. Take some deep breaths look around listen to your surroundings and just close your eyes and be thankful.
Surrounding your self with people you love is really super duper important it really has this power to just lift your mood. Get involved in convocations laugh and live in the moment I PROMISE it will take your mind of things I used to just sit in my room and deal with my panic attacks on my own, until I thought this isn't helping so I went down stairs and just found a new release talking and having fun. And gone where most nights I would deal with them on my own.
Im really hoping this helps some of you even if it just helps one of you I will be happy I hope you all find a release of your panic.
DISCLAMER: im not a doctor or qualified mental health professional. I just speak from experience. everybody's different and cant guarantee these things will work for you.
warmest wishes.
