Steering away from medications for anxiety I have found several activities that can unwind that heavy burdensome feeling. Most of the time! Sometimes I have to resort to a prescribed medication or I will not get any sleep which will just keep the process running full speed ahead. A walk outside, meditation (10 minutes on YouTube), tapping (free app), EMDR bilateral music (found on YouTube) listening with headphones. Tapping can be done in the shower and only takes 2 minutes. I have found a YouTube of meditation that has what I believe is bilateral music in the background so I accomplish both at the same time. When in the mist of the vicious anxiety circle it takes effor to even remember what helps. Starting each day with a morning prayer asking for peace, patience and love. It is early now so prayers for all of us caregivers for a peaceful, anxiety free day.
