Hello lovely people. Tamara here again and with another self-care tip and this one is 10 simple things to do when you're feeling anxious. The first one is to repeat to yourself this affirmation. All is well in my world I am safe. All is well in my world I am safe. All is well in my world I am safe. Say it at least three times and you can keep repeating it to yourself all day. The second one is hum. Now humming has been proven to calm the central nervous system and notice if you even start humming for about five seconds you'll notice you'll notice a shift in your energy so that this is a lovely one to try. The next one is smiling to yourself for 20 seconds every hour. Now don't laugh it really works. The next one is splashing your face with cold water. Once again this helps tone the vagus nerve. Next is to practice slow deep belly breathing. Inhale through the nose for a count of five and exhale through the nose for a count of 10. Do this for about 10 times or more. You can chant the universal mantra hum. So you take a deep breath in inhale through your nose. Hum And once again do this maybe about seven times and you'll notice a difference maybe even sooner. The next lovely practice is to sit under a tree or better still try hugging a tree. It's one of my favorite things to do but sitting under a tree you will definitely feel calmer. The next one now is to meditate. You may like to try meditating not sitting there still and still and in a yogi type position but just sitting quietly and watching your thoughts. Just allowing your thoughts to come and go like clouds in the sky. The next one is to give yourself a hug. It is a lovely practice and once again it really works. And lastly name five things that are in your field of vision. Just slowly look around and say five things to yourself that you can see. Once again it calms the central nervous system. Anyway guys I hope you find some of these helpful and that you can practice consistently. Thank you see you next time bye.
