I should have written this reminder earlier! This time of year is wonderful and stressful all at the same time. I missed that I was having anxiety along with the joy and fun. Some of my tools:
Music that lifts me up reading the scriptures lower my expectations of myself and others - I am not perfect and I am enough!!!! Have things to do with your hands - draw, crochet, puzzles, anything that distracts you and keeps your hands busy Take a break - if all the fun and partying are increasing your anxiety take a break Be with people that help you feel good Change of subject... I had a wonderful day with friends! We had lunch at a great restaurant the Gourmandise Bakery in down town Salt Lake City. It serves wonderful French food!!! When had a wonderful time catching up and reminiscing!!! We have been friends since 4th grade when I moved into Concord. We always have fun together!!! We have an amazing support group of our childhood friends from Concord! As we chat and support each other I can feel anxiety leaving my body!! SO great to have a support system!! And of course and they all told me how amazing I looked that was definitely an ego booster and of course destressor!!! If you love French food and pastries you definitely need to go to Gourmandise Bakery!!!
