Worry Jar (May Mini's Series)
Show Notes:
Your turn! Watch the video, listen to the audio and then put it into practice. Choose 10-20 minutes ideally daily, but at least 2-3 times in a week, and try the worry jar activity described in today's episode. You can use scrap paper ripped into strips and a tupperware container, or fancy it up and make it special with some pretty or fun coloured paper and a nice mason jar or a cool box from the hobby store. Spend some time identifying the things you are worried about (externalize them outside of your head), and then spend some dedicated time worrying about them without other distractions. Give your brain the chance to get it's worries out, so it doesn't try to force your worries on you in the quiet hours of the evening as you try to get to sleep! Try this exercise consistently for at least 2 weeks and notice what benefits come from it - are you falling asleep a bit quicker? A little less easily agitated with people around you? A bit more calm? Does your fitbit show that your resting heart rate has gone down a bit? Less tension in your neck and shoulders or stomach? The more consistent you are, the more you'll stand to gain.
