The CALM & CONFIDENT is the #1 for me because my Type A personality is very amped up. I usually don’t take even small things calmly. I do have a lot of confidence, but I think it’s misplaced often or incorrectly done. I definitely am working to be calmer.
Had a major heart attack in Sep’19 and it was mostly due to stress and genetics. Can’t control genetics, but I can learn to control how I perceive and take action. I tend to get easily amped up and easily excitable about most anything (other words are easily triggered). I have this need to always be busy, so burn out or exhaustion are a part of this. And when I’m in a state of burn out or exhaustion, I can be more easily triggered and respond in unkind ways.
And, because I’m usually so very busy, I ignore or don’t have time to acknowledge my true feelings. So then I stuff them down and at some inopportune time, express them in unhealthy ways and then create unnecessary conflicts with those around. So my voting of the topics are based on this way of living for me. And, I no longer want to live this vicious, unhealthy, damaging cycle. It must stop and I must learn new ways to live life better.
The order of the Real Skills is really the order I need to go in, but however they are addressed, that is what will be good as well for me.
I’m really battering the Anxiety that has become a morning habit ! I’m clear as to why I wake up to this Emotions ( relationship, worries about what to experience in the day , fatigue ! So now that I’m clear . I work at Gratitude about what I do know which is definitely a . healthy body and many more blessings ! By midday I begin to calm my system down . The problem is that this has become a daily routine! I WANT to break this routine .
I’m wondering if there are some supplements that could support your energy balance overnight. @Jem ?
Our emotions are in dynamic dance with our biochemistry and energy system. Gratitude soothes those systems. And, many times we can benefit from supplements that also support an energetic balance.
Also, have you tried a gratitude “dance” – moving the body with a sense of gratitude? Moving our energy is one way that energy that rises into anxiety can be flowed and balanced.
The last few weeks, I too have been waking up with an anxious tummy and I’m clear about the reason why: I’m about to make the biggest move of my life! What is helping me is to pause several times a day and listen to what my body may be asking for…water, food, being outside, listen to Sasha purring…all simple uplifts that reassure me that I will get through this…
I’m doing energy medicine in order to move my energy . It’s a routine that has help tremendously! My morning fatigue is not lack of sleep , it’s dreams that saps my energy upon waking up . I’ve had two consecutive days of almost perfect non symptomatic mornings . I I’m so grateful for finding a medium to this situation . My gratitude journaling has become my go to daily. I do like the dancing suggestion also ! Thanks Rick
