Bizarre hacks for anxiety …that actually work

Almost every day someone will ask me for a quick way to help deal with anxiety. There are lots of different little “tricks” that can help when you feel anxious or stressed.

These are all great for dealing with anxiety in the moment and this one is a great way of bringing you back into the present moment and feeling grounded.

I know it’s not always possible to do but if you are at home or out in a bar/restaurant when anxiety kicks in then this is a good little tip.

The next time you feel anxious grab some ice cubes and just hold them, try to hold for as long as possible without it being too uncomfortable.

It stimulates your Vagus Nerve so putting you into “rest & digest” instead of “fight or flight”, it ca help slow down your heart rate and reduce your blood flow as well as bringing you to the present moment and helping you to feel grounded.

If you feel you need help dealing with anxiety the please tech out to find how I can help you.

We all need a little help now and again, and that’s ok.

Realising that you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired is the first step. When you decide enough is enough. You can’t keep feeling this way.

It’s recognising that your thinking can get in the way of your living. The past is gone, it doesn’t exist, and thinking of things that happened in the past, right now, is what can cause you to feel anxious, stressed, upset, what ever it is that it creates for you. The future doesn’t exist because it hasn’t happened yet, it only exists if you think about it right now, creating what ever worries and fears you may have about it.

All you have is right now, this moment in time and that’s what counts being aware of what you are and what you have NOW.

Changing how you feel about thinking off the past or the future can help you be more present in the now.

How do you do that? By looking at the way you do your thinking and changing it and the first step is realising it needs to be changed and that you want the help to do that.

EVEN THE CLOUDS MOVE ON

Some days just aren’t good days, you might wake up and feel down, and not for the first time.

There’s a few ways to help you feel better such as going for walks, making sure you get fresh air, maybe it’s going to the gym. You might eat healthy and have a good diet. Maybe it’s doing things to keep you busy so you can be distracted, so you don’t beat yourself up from what’s going on. I’ve done a lot of that this last week.

But the reality is that all that doesn’t always work. There will be days where you will feel rubbish. All you can do is remind yourself that those feelings will pass and that there are better days ahead.

It’s ok to feel that way because it will help you appreciate the good days.

Is today a good day or a bad day for you?

Signs of Anxiety

Does it sometimes feel like everyone else has it all figured out, particularly when you’re scrolling through social media?

It might seem like they have a better job, better body, better life, less wrinkles (or is that part just me 😀).

That constant comparison can actually quietly fuel anxiety and chip away at your self worth.

When we’re anxious our mind are wired to scan for threats and in today’s world that “threat” can often look like other people’s success.

But remember what you’re seeing is a highlighted reel, not the full story.

So the next time you catch yourself comparing yourself to others just stop and pause, then think of something you’re proud of about yourself. It doesn’t have to be anything big just something that when you think about it it makes you feel proud. That small shift will help your mind refocus on YOUR journey instead of somebody else’s timeline.

If you find yourself struggling with comparison and self doubt it can often be a sign your nervous system is running on stress.

In my sessions we can work together with gentle, effective ways to calm that inner critic and build your confidence.

WATCHING MOVIES ON REPLAY

One of my favourite movies is Coyote Ugly. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it but it’s been quite a few. It’s a feel good movie for me.

I wouldn’t keep watching movies I don’t like, I’d just keep not liking them, in fact it would probably make me feel 💩.

But why is it you do that with the “movies” you play in your mind. How often do you keep replaying the good things that happened? Probably not that often.

You might focus more on the movies of all the bad things that’s happened or been said. You might keep replaying conversations you had that you wished had gone differently.

The more you replay a negative thought, feeling or conversation you are reliving that moment.

I used to constantly watch programmes on abuse thinking I was getting a better understanding of it and hoping it would help me feel better because I wasn’t the only person who had gone through it, but it didn’t, it just kept reminding me of the situation and the person.

The more you replay those movies the more you are holding onto the past or mistakes that you may have made. Let it go. Release yourself from it, so that you can move on and have the life you deserve.

There’s no point holding on to the should haves, could haves or would haves. Even looking back for me now I can’t even get the old movie back and the only would have I know for sure is that my life would have not been as good as it is now.

If you feel it’s time to stop replaying your movie I can help you.

Do you have a “movie” that you keep replaying and wish you didn’t?

Myths about Anxiety

There are many misconceptions about anxiety, what it is, what causes it and how to manage it.

Anxiety isn’t something you can just get over. However there are a few myths about how it can affect us.

Such as “Anxiety Only Affects The Mind”

Not true. It impacts the whole body, not just your thoughts.

When we’re anxious our fight or flight response is triggered and your body reacts physically. It’s preparing to either fight (think back to sabre tooth tigers) or flight, to run away from it.

When this happens you might experience

Rapid heartbeat
Sweating
Digestive problems
Tension in your muscles.

The truth is anxiety shows up in physical symptoms so managing it can require paying attention to your body and what it’s telling you. So through relaxation methods such as breathwork, yoga etc you can let your mind and your body know that you are safe.

Do you experience physical symptoms when you’re anxious? How do you manage them?

Close the gap

When you think about your life how often do you think about all the things you have achieved?

I was speaking to someone the other day and they just spoke about all the negative things that have happened to them and that they find being positive and making positive changes hard.

I asked them to tell me 3 things they had done that day to make them feel grateful, big or small. They said they couldn’t think of any but proceeded to tell me what they had done that day and I was able to help them find gratitude in those things, but they followed it with a negative.

If you focus negatively on the gap of where you are in your life and where you want to be without looking at all the positive things you have achieved it can be detrimental to your well being.

If you have make a to do list and you only get half it done and at the end of the day feel you haven’t got enough done you’ll focus on what you haven’t achieved instead of what you have.

Many people have gone through life with anxiety or trauma and maintain the focus on what it was that causes it. But when you think about how you have managed to get through it to be where you are now it makes more sense to focus on that.

You are amazing, you have accomplished many things in your life, celebrate and focus on the successes, no matter how big or small.

When you’ve ticked some things off your to do list, that’s accomplishment.

When you’ve got yourself out of bed and showered, that’s an accomplishment.

When you’ve stepped away from people who bring you down, that’s an accomplishment.

Close the gap on focusing on what you didn’t do and what you did do by praising yourself for what you have achieved.

You’ve got this far by achieving something in your life. Celebrate it🎉.

Bizarre Anxiety Hacks

I remember being on a course when I first discovered one of the modalities I use with clients and the presenter was demonstrating something with a delegate. He started to change his voice and make it sound really funny what he was saying, and since then I sometimes still use it and I sometimes encourage my clients to do it.

Anxiety thrives on intrusive and irrational thoughts, those thoughts that pop in usually have a voice, but if you imagine or even say it out loud it doesn’t have the same affect on you.

So next time that negative thought pops in change how it sounds. You could try talking like Donald Duck or even a pirate.

Signs of Anxiety

Do you ever feel like your constantly on edge, snapping at people over the smallest of things or feeling irritated for no reason?

You’re not alone. Often it’s not an “anger issue” it’s anxiety.

When your stays in a constant state of alert your stress hormones stay high and when your nervous system is running on overdrive your tolerance drops.

This can make you more reactive, more sensitive, making the smallest inconvenience suddenly feel overwhelming, then anger becomes your body’s quickest way to release the tension.

It’s your body’s way of trying to cope with too much pressure.

Next time you feel that irritation rising just pause, take a slow breath in the the nose and out through your mouth and ask yourself “what’s really going on for me right now?”

Often it can be stress, fear or even exhaustion sitting underneath that flash or anger.

Small moments of awareness like this can start to shift your response from reaction to calm.

Reconnect with your Heart

There comes a moment when you know that you’re ready for change. Not the kind you talk about over a coffee, but the kind that shakes the dust off your soul and says “No more”.

Join me for an amazing experience that invites you to take part in a firewalk. A firewalk isn’t about proving strength, it’s about remembering it.

On the night we will be releasing what no longer serves you and stepping forward, literally, into your power.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost or ready to shed an old story, then this is your invitation to do something extraordinary for yourself.

Let’s share an unforgettable night of courage, connection and transformation.
