How To Calm Down In Uncertain Times
dealing with uncertainty anxiety
Most of us are feeling uncertain, worried, anxious and every other not good feeling emotion in these uncertain times.
One of the most important skills that you can develop now and use moving forward is a calming ritual or two.
Before I share this easy ritual that you can do, I want to remind you that you do have the power to remove yourself from those things that aren’t helping your anxiety.
Don’t check social media, avoid the news, don’t read the sky is falling “expert” opinions, skip watching the shows that reinforce the negativity. None of this is feeding your soul, but only feeding the fear.
We can only do our part during this time. We can’t control what other people do and getting upset about it doesn’t hurt or affect them, but only ourselves.
This is the time to be very deliberate when it comes to self-care. Take the time to love yourself, show love to others and stay in that vibration.
Calming 7 Practice
When it comes to finding a ritual for yourself that’s easy and that other people won’t give you too much side-eye, consider this ritual.
Times like these require a calming practice.
Grab a crystal
Hold it in your left hand (that’s your receiving hand)
Close your eyes (but read this first)
Breathe in for 7 counts
Hold your breath for 7 counts
Exhale for 7 counts
And do this 7 times
Do this as often as you need during the day.
