Welcome to this quick five minute anxiety fix.
Sometimes life gets a little hectic and we can struggle to deal with whatever comes our way and the anxiety can paralyze us so let's work together towards overcoming this so you can get on with your day feeling fresh and productive.
So begin by finding yourself seated comfortably,
Ensure your back is upright and gently close your eyes.
Notice how you're feeling right now,
The emotions that are running through your body.
How would you rate your anxiety from one to ten?
Is it unbearable or is it just a little annoying?
Just notice where the anxiety is living in your body right now.
Take note of the temperature in the space you're in.
Notice the smell in your room,
Any sounds.
Take note of how the surface feels as you're seated on it and let's begin by taking a deep breath in through the nose as deep as you can.
Slowly exhale and relax your muscles as you gently breathe out.
And relax your forehead,
Relax your jaw,
Relax both your shoulders,
Both your arms,
Relax your chest,
Relax your belly,
Relax both your legs and both sets of toes.
Let's take another deep breath in as deep as you can.
Slowly breathe out,
Letting out more of that heaviness and find your breath.
Notice the rhythm of your breath.
What is currently occupying your mind?
What are you worried about?
Identify that for a few moments.
How does your body react when you let your thoughts arise?
And now see if you can detach from those thoughts and witness them from the outside like you're watching them through a screen.
Let's take a deep calming breath in and breathe out all of those worries.
Just imagine breathing them all out.
Letting them out,
Feeling rejuvenated,
Feeling a little lighter.
Let's take another deep breath in and breathe out more of that heaviness.
Letting it leave your body,
Feeling more relaxed.
Notice your muscles,
Any muscles have tensed up and feel free to relax those muscles now.
Relax your shoulders and your jaw and your arms.
Take another deep breath in and release some more of that heaviness,
Let it out.
Relax your muscles as you breathe out even further.
Notice your center.
Now,
Notice how you feel and know that despite whatever you may think,
Everything is going to be okay.
You've got this.
Now think of something about today for which you are grateful,
Something that brings comfort to your mind through gratitude.
Once you've established that,
Notice how it makes you feel.
Even if it's a little better,
Focus on that.
Let's breathe in calm and breathe out all of the stress and anxiety that is holding you back.
Notice the temperature in the room and when you're ready,
You may gently open your eyes and welcome back your physical surroundings,
Knowing that you again have done something great for yourself today.
See if you can spot something within your vicinity that you're grateful for and then feel free to enjoy the rest of your day.
Wishing you a successful day and lots of love,
From my heart to yours,
Thank you.
