The Rural Mindset Podcast™ Episode 34 - Befriending Your Anxiety

by Erica Leniczek August 2, 2022

I think we have talked a lot about what anxiety looks like in others and what we can do, but there are a lot of subtle signs of anxiety that we often overlook when they happen to ourselves, so here are some things do look for and what you can do about it:

Stomach aches
Chewing nails
Not sleeping
Perfectionism
Indecisiveness
Avoidance
Nausea
Headaches

Choose where to listen to Episode 34 here!

What you can do if you notice you have some of these more subtle signs of anxiety:

Name three things you see, feel, and hear
Go for a walk
Ground yourself - do deep breathing, walk barefoot, etc
Notice what it is that makes you feel anxious
Ask yourself what it is that you care about? Be interested in what your body is telling you in these moments
Practice box breathing - breathe for 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4
Stay physically active
Practice sleep hygiene
