Breaking the Cycle of Anxiety

In this moment I am safe.

Tapping into how anxiety feels in my body really helped me connect to it and not stuff it or run from it. Stuffing or running excludes learning. It felt freeing to connect to the feel of anxiety. And now I have a reference point to draw on when the feels arise and I can stop to follow it and learn from it, to finally heal it.

Safety

This is a helpful meditation for grounding myself and reminding myself that I am safe and the anxiety will pass.

Feeling safe

I never thought about telling my self that I am safe in a moment of anxiety. It felt calming to say it now and to breathe into it. Something I will have to remember and try it at a more anxious time.

Neurons

I wish I could listen to this practice with no mine was not flooded with thoughts, I being truthful was not listening to a word she freaking said, I hope I can learn next time.

Mindfulness

I need to let myself become still without feeling anxious about it. I notice I am constantly moving to soothe my body’s pain. Deep breathing is the key for me to stay in the moment.

my future

I realized I must breathe and stay calm when becoming anxious about future endeavors. Everything works out okay in the end and God has plans for every burden we are met with. College has me anxious right now about proving to myself and the people I know that I am capable. If I remain calm and stable, I will realize what my path is supposed to be.

Tad bit of hope

I learned that the way you breathe can channel those anxious/depressive emotions/feelings & thoughts in a good way

Feeling better now 🍷

I learned that sometimes anxiety and stress just reaches a certain point where it takes over. We’re not perfect, we can’t always be calm. Tonight I had an extremely stressful night at work, lots of anxiety and I feel that I didn’t deal with it very well. We updated our micros software just recently and I was doing just fine with it. But tonight everyone ordered off a different menu that I wasn’t familiar with and it was really complicated and everyone was too busy to help me. I was literally stuck there by myself for a long time as my station filled up with people that needed me, total drag. But I’m home now and I had half a glass of Merlot and I feel a little better after this meditation session. Thanks 🙏💙

Just What I Needed

This practice is just what I needed at this moment at work. I was starting to get anxious-I realized I was barely breathing-almost like I was holding my breath. This meditation was so helpful. I stopped and had to breathe and pay attention to my breath and also notice how the anxiety felt in my body. It was so helpful to do this practice, and say, “I am safe.” I can now move on, and I can only do my best today at work.

How to feel

Everything’s going to be okay we just need to take a time to relax and focus on our breathing, then our anxiety is going to calm down ❤️

Anxiety attack

When my anxiety comes on my stomach gets sore & my stress level goes up that When I do my de stress therapy & relax & don’t do anything else but de stress myself & have my me time to my self & write my journal

Sept 14, 10am

I feel very unfocused, and in a daze. I guess this type wasn't the best for me today. Will take some time to myself and come back to it

Deep breaths

Deep breaths make all the difference when it comes to help remain calm in situations where stress/anxiety can be high. Just breathe. Remember if they have upset you then they are already winning. 💯💜

Hand to the heart , the inner me was calmed and relaxed. Going back to work today & i am filled with a sense of love and happiness that i have not been a part of for a long time.

Safe

Cindy, yes! I am safe in this moment! Working the fearful out of my heart! Thanks.

Enough

Enough of me is spent worrying on everything, everyone and every moment that there is seldom time to really focus on who I am and what I would like. To be in tune with me, is to better worry about the all.

Let worry go

I need to spend time reinforcing my strengths and let go of worry. I need to feel and visualize the life I want right now. Stop worrying about the past or what will happen in the future. Just keep breathing.

Notice

To move through the moments of anxiety I must notice and be mindful of anxiety. Hand on heart to anchor and breathe through. Look up.

How I felt

I felt calmer after this session. I felt that some of my stress lifted off me like a weight pushing on me and now it’s like it’s gone.

GAD 🤖

The sounds especially The background music of a rapid river flowing by like I am in the mountains The fresh air and birds chirping and singing Ah I can breathe so well

Calming

I truly enjoyed her voice and the words were soothing. I will listen to this again because I feel relaxed.

It helps with the flash-backs

Working on being on top on telling myself I am safe; and that the younger years weren’t my fault....

Breaking the Cycle of Anxiety

Because when you get down to it, that’s all anxiety is - thinking about the past or future instead of the present moment. Reminding yourself that in the present you are safe and the only things threatening you are yesterday and tomorrow helps to set limits on the cycle of anxiousness.

Day 1

I feel that although I am sad right now and disappointed, I do feel everything will be ok again. It will take time, longer than I’m going to like most days but, I do see the end being better.

consistency

daily practice in the morning and evening is helping me feel less stressed and more in tune with my needs. I’m taking time for myself. which allows me to be more present for others

Quelling

I can calm myself by placing my hand over my heart and stating that “I am safe in this moment.” Breathing in fully and deeply reminds my body to not do fight, flight or freeze.

Anxiety

I learned that it is greatly beneficial of break the cycle of anxiety in my life. It releases the stress and makes it easier to relax which eases my muscles and in turn eases pain.

Anxiety

Makes forget my anxiety in a very short period of time. Can use it over and over again.

Anxiety release

I learned that it helps to focus on how anxiety affects the body and to connect and observe how it makes one feel, then release it through the breath as well as to repeat the lovely mantra ‘I am safe’ placing one hand on the heart.

Stillness bringing safety

I learned that by bringing stillness into my morning situations I can invoke feelings of safety which prevent my fight or flight taking root within me and dominating my daily thoughts and thus hindering my sense of physical wellness. I look forward to my day feeling calmer, more rested and with an inner peace within.
