"If you want different results, you have to try different approaches"
So said a wise person and never has this been more applicable than right now.
I made some health anxiety resolutions for 2021. If you've got some, I'd love to hear them too.
My resolutions are:
I will:
- continue with schema therapy
- learn meditation
- do something fun or nice for myself every day
- get strong/learn to have faith in my body
- connect with family/friends more
- make a monthly appointment to check-in with my GP
I wont:
- read anything health related online (except non-symptom posts on NMP)
- investigate any non-life threatening health worry or symptom eg. no checking, examining, poking or proding (instead I'll make a note and talk to my GP)
- let health anxiety stop me from achieving my goals or being present with my family and friends.
