✨MONDAY MANTRA✨⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Since the pandemic has started, I have been struggling with my anxiety. Some days are good and some are far worse. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I want to share with you what my Clinical Supervisor shared with me. I have been educating my clients about this as well:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
(1.)Understanding  our anxiety or emotional stressors increase when we have no control over our surroundings (at this time we get into the “overthinking cycle of anxiety” and we are “not emotionally regulated”).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
During this time, it is important to follow step #2 and step #3.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣
(2.)When not feeling emotionally regulated, the first thing you should do is engage in an activity to help you stay regulated (square breathing, 💪🏽 , meditation, 🧘🏽‍♀️ , going for a walk ☀️, mindfulness etc.).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣
(3.)Engaging in positive self-talk being mindful about the language we use, as this can perpetuate our triggers. Saying “ I am having a difficult time right now, it is going to get better”, instead of “I am really stressed out right now, everything is a mess”.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣
(4.)I also educate my clients on “learning to sit with the uncomfortable and things we do not have control over”. Using a CBT thought log or journaling 📔 helps you process this better as well.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣
🤗What are some things that have been helping you manage your overwhelming emotions?⁣⁣⁣
