6 Self-Care Habits for Anxiety!

1. Practice challenging your negative thoughts with more helping thinking.

2. Set boundaries. Practice saying "no" or try not to overcommit in the upcoming weeks.

3. Focus on getting adequate + quality sleep. Get 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.

4. Practice affirmations for anxiety. Try saying things like "I am safe in this moment," "My thoughts are just thoughts" or "My thoughts are just clouds floating by."

5. Work on building trust with yourself. Managing anxiety requires that you trust that you can manage the outcome, so practice building trust with yourself by doing the hard thing and embracing the outcome.

6. Advocate for your needs. If you need to rest, rest. If you need a break, take a break. If you need care, ask for care. Try to think about what you need and then give yourself permission do tend to your needs or ask for help from others.

Happy self-caring!

Sam

This is a gentle reminder that it is okay to take a break.

You may be doing too much, but feel like you're not doing enough.

You may be hours deep into a project or task, but feel like you're not getting anywhere.

You may be doom scrolling on your phone and feel bad for "wasting" your time and not getting other things done.

Whatever you have been doing, encourage yourself to step away for a moment or two and take a little breather.

Taking breaks has many benefits including:

1. Boosts your mental and physical health
2. Helps prevent burnout
3. Increases your ability to focus and pay attention
4. Prevents muscle and eye strain
5. Reduces stress
6. Increases motivation
8. Increases productivity
9. Increases creativity
10. Recharges your brain

Even if you think you don't need or don't deserve a break, do it anyways. In fact, take several breaks throughout the day. Your brain and body will thank you!

This a gentle reminder for my fellow perfectionists: progress is greater than perfection.

As much as you don’t want to hear it, perfection is not attainable.

You are continuing to strive for something that is burning you out.

Instead of striving for perfection, strive for progress.

Progress IS attainable. You will feel more successful and accomplished if you adopt a progress mindset.

Try progress, not perfection and see how it goes.

Happy progressing my friends!
