I copied this from an email sent to me from another site
I know you are so busy right now in the
run up to Christmas but this should help you
over the holidays with anxiety, so I wanted
to send it today.
Sometimes the fastest healing with an anxiety
problem happens when we learn to stop doing
something rather than start doing something.
For example when we learn to stop resisting
the anxious thoughts and feelings, we can
dramatically reduce the intensity of the anxiety
we feel.
Here are 7 things to GIVE UP in order to end anxiety.
1. Give up your resistance to the anxious bodily sensations you feel.
(Allow them to be present through acceptance)
3. Give up the thoughts that say 'I cant handle this'.
(You can, -your body can. )
4. Give up thinking there is something mentally wrong with you.
(Anxiety is the result of an over sensitized nervous system)
4. Give up your need to micro-manage your body.
(Your body is amazing -trust it to do its job)
5. Give up being so hard on yourself.
(You are doing so well for dealing with this -you are truly brave)
6. Give up seeing anxiety as a curse.
(You will grow stronger as a result of this)
7. Give up thinking your anxiety will last forever.
(It wont)
So think about the above over the holidays and please make
sure to also take time out and look after yourself. (You can't be
there for them if you are not there for yourself)
Have a wonderful Christmas!
