Get a job with less stress… Worked for me…..
Recently I noticed that when my cell phone rang, I would jump about a foot and my heart would race. No real reason, just a sensory thing I think. I made a commitment to myself to keep it on vibrate or silent throughout the day and I turn it off completely at night. I feel calmer already!
I find that breathing in slowly to a count of five and slowly exhaling to a count of eight really helps if done on a regular basis xx
I’m not a gym person, but I think it would be great for those who would use it. My exercise is working in my yard & garden. Then I can see & enjoy the beauty around me. Playing with & watching Grandkids play.
