Anxiety

What is it?

    Anxiety is an emotion that tells us when something in our life seems out of place or improper. 

What does it tell us?

    Anxiety tells us to exercise caution, to think before acting.

How to deal with it?

    Visualizations are fantastic for anxiety. Deep breathing. Ice. talking to someone. Counting down from 100 by 7s. A good joke. Singing. Moving your body (dance). Yoga. running. 

Body sensations

    Tightness, faintness, blurred vision, sweating, butterflies, heart racing, restlessness, energy

Examples?

    Making a speech, driving in a busy area, telling someone bad news.
