Right, my panic/anxiety/depression has taken a bad turn, and I've never really done anything about...guess I'm quite lazy. But now I've decided to make some definite changes, and I thought for motivation I'd like to do 'em with other people. Woo! Haha. See if we've made progress in a fortnight?
1. Meditation - 2 sessions a day, preferably 20 minutes+. Concentrate on deep breathing and positive visualizing.
2. Exercise - 30 minutes a day, something that gets you out of breath, running, cycling, swimming etc
3. Vitamins! Omega 3 and Vit B supplement every day.
4. Something creative - draw, write, play an instrument for half an hour a day. My band page is here out of interest... http://www.facebook.com/GreatBritishWeatherOFFICIAL ;)
5. Allow as much sleep as possible - in 1 hr 30 cyles. 7 and a half, 9 or even 10 and a half hours. Don't worry if you don't sleep through all of it.
6. Help someone do something challenging every day - we can all be guilty of being a little selfish and withdrawn when angsty. Through helping others make someone else's life easier, always a good thing.
7. Understand what you have more - take the time to talk to a professional, read a book on it and learn about the effects of stress on the human mind and body. We fear what we don't understand.
8. Write down everything good that happened at the end of each day. There will likely be more than you initially thought. Write a journal of everything else too.
9. Have a relaxing bath/sauna/hot tub session as many times as you can manage. Aaaah.
BONUS SPACE:
Anything else, such as Kalms, is a great bonus. Chill that stress level out and think in new ways.
Challenge begins on the 13th of October.
