crying

I once heard in response to heartbreak, one must “cry it out, scream it out, poop it out, barf it out.” essentially you gotta let it move through you. This mindset has also helped me a lot with anxiety at times- if it’s not too unbearable, let yourself feel it, let yourself cry.

Some other tried and true methods:

• Yoga with Adrienne’s yoga for anxiety videos. Any will do

• Tara Brach has gotten me through some dark times. She has guided meditations and talks. The way she breaks down thought patterns helps me remember that my anxious thoughts aren’t exactly unique and then you can separate the self from the anxiety, or something like that.

• Magnesi-Om from moon juice if you need an immediate fix

• A comfort movie that keeps you off your phone. 10 Things I Hate about You is one of my favs.

• Doing something with your hands. Knitting is huge for my anxiety

• Put your face in really cold water or drink really hot tea

Hope something on this list is helpful or new to you! tbh that spiky mat someone else recommended looks promising
