If you live in Calgary or surrounding areas such as Cochrane or Airdrie Alberta, you certainly know that life can get pretty busy leaving little time to support your emotional and mental well-being. Heare are some Anxiety Therapy Calgary Tips on how to remain mindful amidst life’s busyness so you can stay emotionally and mentally healthy.
Anxiety Therapy Calgary Mindfulness Tip 1: Be Intentional
Being intentional allows you to purposely start your day in a positive way, rather than letting your day start you up in a negative way. Waking up and purposely practicing some meditation or mindfulness…to get your mind focused on good things rather than negative stressors of the day can help keep your day from being less stressful.
Anxiety Therapy Calgary Mindfulness Tip 2: Have an Attitude of Gratitude.
An attitude of gratitude is where you purposefully choose 2 to 3 things you are grateful for in your day. For experts in gratitude, I always like to recommend still being thankful for 2-3 things, however, take it to the next level and have gratitude daily for something different and unique every day. Being thankful is a great way to stay positive during stressful parts of the day..
Anxiety Therapy Calgary Mindfulness Tip 3: Deep Breathing
Now of course everyone breathes…you woudn’t be reading this article if you weren’t. However, Deep intentional breathing is a fantastic way to work through life’s daily stressors. Not only will you think more clearly, you will also be able to deal with pressure more calmly. Remember to deep breathe if you know you’re a few minutes away from an upcoming meeting or event that you need to keep calm and clear headed.
Anxiety Therapy Calgary Mindfulness Tip 4: Stay Grounded.
Being grounded helps us from floating away and running away from the challenges of the day. Some ways to keep grounded are A. Keep both feet flat on the ground. B. Pay full attention to your body as you walk or sit and just notice what your body might be telling you. C. As you do daily activities such as eating, pay attention to only on the task you are doing like chewing and not letting other distractions get in the way of you grounding yourself.
Anxiety Therapy Calgary Mindfulness Tip 5: One Step at a Time
If you are feeling overwhelmed in your day, it might be a good idea to focus on just completing one task at a time. Dealing with one task at a time gives you small wins that can lead to your next bigger win…one step at a time.
