Content Warning: Anxiety/Mental Health
Anxiety is something that many of us struggle with... now more than ever! Between what's going on in the world, what's going on in our personal lives, and what our brain is telling us on the day-to-day... it can be a lot to handle!
From two girls with a lot of first-hand experience in this arena, we wanted to create an episode to share with you all of the different techniques we've found to help ease anxiety symptoms. We talk through so many different approaches including mental visualizations, breathwork, physical movement, essential oils, cute dog videos, and everything in between.
Anything we discuss in this episode is safe to use (especially in moderation) so feel free to try it out at home! We are sending you all of the virtual hugs and lots of extra coziness because we know how uncomfortable anxiety can be. Just know that we are all in this together and everything will be okay. Enjoy the episode and please let us know if you find any of these strategies to work for you!
*Disclaimer: Everything we discuss in this episode is based on our personal points of view and experiences. Everyone experiences and copes with anxiety and mental health issues differently. The methods we discuss are not a "cure" or medicinal by any means. Every strategy may not work for everyone.
*Additionally, we are not medical professionals, so any resources we mentioned are, again, based on personal experience with trial and error. If you do find yourself in a space where you need support, please seek professional medical assistance.
