"Five things you should not do when you feel anxious."

"Five things you should not do when you feel anxious."

Last time I was anxious.

We introduced what you can do on the spot 🌿

Today, on the contrary, when you feel anxious

I tend to do it,

Here are five things that actually have the opposite effect.

"I used to do this too..."

Just realizing that may change the way you deal with anxiety.

😌 5 Things You Should Not Do

① Try to be positive.

If you try to suppress your anxiety, it may actually become stronger. Just accept it as it is.

② I will hold it alone

Talking can reduce anxiety by half. Try spilling a little on someone you can rely on.

③ Consume too much caffeine

→ It may stimulate the sympathetic nerves and intensify palpitations and tension. Herbal teas and other decaffeinated ones.

④ Try to find the cause of anxiety forcibly

If you keep thinking about the reason, your consciousness will instead concentrate on anxiety. It is not too late to find the cause even after calming down.

Rather than trying to erase anxiety, accept it as it is.

And, to return consciousness to "now" with the grounding method I told you last time.

Little by little, the accumulation will lighten your heart 🕊

Don't try too hard. You're doing well today.

📌 anxious, save it gently.

Habit of not pushing yourself into a corner, little by little.

🌙 next time, I will post "Take your own mood. 5 small habits." Stay tuned.

🕊 and prepare your mind every day together.

... Read more不安を感じたとき、多くの人はどうにかしてその感情を抑え込もうとします。しかし私自身の体験から言うと、無理にポジティブになろうとしたり、問題の原因を無理に探ろうとすると、かえって不安が強くなり、心が疲れてしまうことが多いです。 例えば、過去に仕事のプレッシャーで不安が強かった時期、無理に「大丈夫!」と自分に言い聞かせてみても、心の中では焦りや恐怖が増幅していました。それから、信頼できる友人に話してみたところ、思っていたよりも気持ちが軽くなり、不安感が半減した経験があります。 また、カフェインを大量に摂取してしまうと心拍数が上がり、不安症状が悪化することにも気がつきました。私の場合は、温かいハーブティーを飲む習慣を取り入れることでリラックスでき、落ち着きを取り戻せるようになりました。 不安の原因を焦って見つけようとせず、感じている気持ちを素直に認めること、そして前回紹介されていたグラウンディング法で目の前の現実に意識を向けるのが効果的です。たとえすぐには不安が消えなくても、これらの積み重ねが心の負担を和らげてくれます。 このように、不安と上手に付き合うためには「無理をせず自分を受け入れる」という姿勢がとても大切です。よく頑張っている自分を認めてあげることで、心の成長にもつながります。不安になりやすい方は、この記事や手軽にできるセルフケア法を繰り返し見返してみてください。

why you should journal when you’re anxious
journaling helps stop our thoughts from spiraling out of control. The act of writing down our thoughts, fears, worry, pain, grief etc. slows down our mind and helps us regain control. journaling is a safe space with no judgement to express your concerns and emotions. The next time you’re spi

Avoidant vs. Anxious — and the pain no one talks
🤍 One shuts down to feel safe. 🖤 The other clings to feel close. Both end up hurting. Both feel alone. One hides under the umbrella of silence. The other waits in the rain of overthinking. You try to talk — they shut down. You feel invisible — they feel overwhelmed. You just want connection…
