If you’re like me in any way, shape, or form.. you deal with some level of anxiety on the regular. Different ages face different anxieties, just like differing lifestyles bring on a variety of anxieties. That being said, this is not a medical post. I am not giving advice for any condition or even for extreme cases of anxiety (basically what I am saying is this is not a post that is intended to take the place of your regular doctor visit- you make that decision). I just wanted to take a second to list out the remedies I use to deal with my anxiety and make it nearly nonexistent at this point. Obviously as life changes, which is a regular occurrence, anxieties will peak, and I use these techniques to shove it away. The best part is: none require medication, many are either free or have a free option, and they can be done either independently or as a group!

Cuddle your loves—-> often.
Target run with a Starbucks treat while you’re there. If money is fine- flip a coin on a map and road trip where it lands Music (preferably a jam session with LOTS of mirror dancing and brush microphone) Talk it out- loved ones are there for you. Preachers, Counselors, Friends & Family. Find a hobby you love, and do it- often. Breathe. preferably deep breathing exercises. Yoga helps! Start a new venture. Maybe your anxiety is spawned from you feeling like you’re settling. Find your solution from the root of your problem. Eat & Drink CLEAN for one week. Detox your body & mind. Delete or stay off social media for one month. My challenge for you. Let go & live. I hope some of these work for you!

I found that I really started thriving when I refused to give in to the anxious feelings. It boils down to- if you’re not happy in what you’re currently doing.. change it. You have that power. A lot of the anxiety now days is spawned from social media and the “ideal” life living solely online (meaning what you see MAY not be reality but just a snapshot of one moment in time)- so cleanse. Spend that 15 minutes you usually put towards Instagram to paint with you kiddos or have a shaving cream art party. It’s a lot more fun than the latest gossip anyway.. So make those memories. Climb a waterfall and drink from it. Get outside and clear your mind. You got this!XOXO,Lenzi
