 Greetings!
Fall is here! And it's a busy time of year for many of us. Gone are the lazier days of summer, as we gear up for school, increasing commitments, cooler weather with less sunlight, and the approaching holidays.
Below are some ideas to help reduce anxiety from a brain health perspective. Hope you find them useful! I've also enclosed a link to "BrainTalk" with Lee Gerdes specifically addressing the issue of stress and it's effects on our brain and behavior. (And if you're an interested parent, there's a "BrainTalk" on how your child can take their best brain to school.) Additionally, there's a link to Kristen telling her story about stress and how balancing her brain helped her.
Also, The Evolutionary Brain will be at The Mind, Body, Spirit Expo at The Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA on October 28-30. Come visit us and register to win a "tune-up." (Assessment plus 5 sessions, an $875 value!)
Happy Fall everyone!
Sincerely, Kean Pitcairn The Evolutionary Brain |
Five Tips for Reducing Stress and Anxiety
1. Practice non judgmental self-observation. Observe how you are thinking and feeling without judging. (I call this practice "WD-40" for the working parts.)
2. Be aware and purposeful with regard to your breathing. Encourage oxygenation. Take a few times during the day to consciously force deep breaths. Meditate, if you like.
3. Let yourself be rhythmic. Like a rocking chair. Dance, sway or tap your feet to the music.
4. Realize that others are acting out of a brain pattern, too. There's a good chance they are equally "stuck." Catch yourself in judgment and stay in a place of forgiveness of yourself and others.
5. Most importantly, remember your brain has saved your life and even though it may be stuck now, it is simply a brain pattern and not a life sentence.
