Physical Manifestations of Anxiety

-

Physical manifestations of anxiety: 
These physical manifestations of anxiety are examples of how our mental health can affect our physical health. Often physical health is considered more important than mental health but they each have their place and are important in their own way. It is important to know our own anxiety triggers and also learn things that alleviate our anxiety. 
Triggers could be a certain thought pattern, a negative environment, a negative experience, difficulty coping with a situation in life, or a sudden life change.

Coping skills or alleviating factors could be
Exercise, yay fitness!
Mood stabilizing foods,
Music, 
An honest conversation with a friend,
Therapy/counseling
A slow walk through nature,
Being surrounded by nature,
Art and creativity,
Distractions such as movies,
Comic relief, funny skits, comedies e.t.c #mentalhealth #healthandwellnesscoach #healthandwellness #anxiety #copingwithanxiety #copingskills #360healthcoachingandconsulting

Be intentional about your thoughts

One of the greatest mindset shifts for me occurred when I learnt that the human mind has the ability to choose to focus on certain thoughts. We don't have to just accept whatever thoughts come our way, we can redirect our thoughts. Our thoughts in turn affect our mindset, our emotions and our mental health.  Learning to redirect your thoughts is not always easy. It takes practice, and requires consistency. A 360 health approach considers mental, emotional and spiritual health, as well your physical health. Each aspect of health affects the other so no piece of the puzzle is inferior or less important than any other piece.  #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawareness#mentalhealthawarenessmonth#emotionalhealth#emotions#thoughts#intentionalthinking#mentalwellness#mentalwellbeing#360health#360healthcoachingandconsulting#healthandwellnesscoach.

Focus on Progress Not Perfection

  Happy New Year 🎈🎉🎉🥳🥳! With the new year comes all sorts of resolutions and sometimes, "semi- resolutions." By semi resolutions, I am referring to those goals that you would really love to make happen but they stay in your head, you don't write them down and you may or may not follow through on them. There are also goals that you get fired up about but start to lose steam when you feel like you are not hitting your target 🎯.  Here's the thing, if you have made a mental shift and taken action towards your goals, then that's progress. As, it concerns health goals, when you start making little changes such as taking more steps or exercising for 10 to 15 minutes daily, you will start to notice improvements in your energy levels. Focusing on progress instead of perfection will keep you going. You may skip a work out day here and there but don't give up. Keep going, you are making progress.

Fresh Start Ideas 🎆

🙂Make a focus list for the year:  Goals are a good idea because they heighten your focus. Sometimes we could shy away from making goals because we fear not being able to follow through with them. However, it takes practice to become someone who follows through with goals. Envisioning your goals as a focus list is a good way to decrease the internal pressure. When I started goal setting, I was reluctant at first but I realized that it helped me have a sense of focus that I otherwise would not have had.  🙂 Declutter some part of your home:  You may decide to declutter your purse, briefcase, or your closet. Pick something around you to declutter. Having less clutter will give you some space to think. Studies have shown that decreasing clutter  leads to increased focus, decreased anxiety and improved mental health. Decluttering can be an overwhelming activity so breaking it up into manageable practical sessions is more effective than deciding that you will ...
