|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, March 21st (AM) Managing anxiety is not about reassurance that everything’s going to be okay. The fact of the matter is, I have no idea if things are going to be okay. You know how I’m always saying that we can’t tell the future? That’s true for positive stuff as well as negative stuff. | | |
|
| | Saturday, March 21st (PM) In times of anxiety, it becomes really important that we “anchor” ourselves to people and concepts that remind us of who we are, what’s important to us, and what our lives are all about. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, March 22nd (AM) Anxiety reactions happen when things come at us in a way that we doubt our ability to handle. | | |
|
| | Sunday, March 22nd (PM) Behaving differently doesn’t have to mean a radical departure from what you’re doing... | | |
|
|
| | Monday, March 23rd (AM) When we’re anxious or in pain, our brains tend to default to thinking in black and white terms. | | |
|
| | Monday, March 23rd (PM) Check in with yourself. Often. Hourly, if possible. It doesn’t have to be elaborate... | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, March 24th (Blog) "YOU CAN STOP APOLOGIZING. REALLY." YOU probably apologize to a lot of people for a lot of things. And each time we make an unnecessary apology, our self-esteem takes a hit. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, March 24th (PM) Fear is just like any other emotion— it has information for you. It’s not out to ruin your life. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, March 25th (AM) By putting something we don’t want to do off, we’re actually PROLONGING its presence in our life. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, March 25th (PM) Remember that you’re the hero in someone’s story. And you’re almost certainly the villain in someone else’s story... | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, March 26th (Blog): “TO HELP OTHERS, YOU NEED TO HELP YOURSELF.” Caring for ourselves and caring for other people is very much NOT a zero sum game. But some people seem to think it is….which is a bummer. | | |
|
| | Thursday, March 26th (PM) When you’ve been told or treated like you don’t matter for years, it’s hard to accept that you are important and valued. But you are important. You are valued. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, March 27th (AM) It’s not just pathological narcissists who struggle to keep their egos in check. Almost EVERYBODY stumbles over their pride every now and then. | | |
|
| | Friday, March 27th (PM) Targeted distraction is most useful when we’ve gone down a pathway of thinking, feeling, or behaving that isn’t working— but which we’re struggling to break out of. | | |
