Taking Anxiety down from 12 to 3 and heading for 0

Thomas3.20.2010

So what worked?

It's hard to say that it was any one thing, honestly! I think it has been a combination of all out war on Anxiety.

I sleep right for the first time in many Years. I exercise right at least 5 hours a Week ( a combination of aerobics, resistance training, yoga, pilates, balance, and stretching.) I meditate every day.I use CBT and ACT training to confront my Anxiety. I eat a healthy high protein, fruits and veggies diet. I take probiotics and magnesium supplements. I do neurofeedback for Anxiety an hour a week. I give of myself to others rather than focus on my Self and my problems. 

So who can say this one thing helped me turn the corner? 

My advice to anybody experiencing Anxiety is to keep at it! If you're into acupuncture or hypnosis, if you like running or biking, whatever your approaches to Anxiety - don't give up! Even though you may not see the progress, you might still be getting there! So keep at it! Add as many and varied things as you can think of and go for it! 

There's only one thing that isn't on my list and really shouldn't be on yours - SMOKING!

Smoking causes Anxiety and to top it off, smoking related illnesses cause Maximum Anxiety - so keep them away from your face!

Thank you, EX friends for supporting my efforts to find health and happiness! I also Thank the Lord for letting me learn that I can trust Him to run my Life better than I can myself!
