Take five minutes to breathe and let go x

Feeling really down and defeated today but hey tomorrow is a new day right? We’ll be okay 💕

[teemo1]

This is a great message. I think the idea that we're not enough, we don't do enough, could be the root cause of anxiety for a lot of us.

[Hidden in reply to teemo1]

Yeah you may be right ! Hope you have a good day tomorrow

[Sillysausage234]

[Starrlight]

Your post makes me feel a bit better. Deep breathing and the notion that I am enough is sooooo good. It’s hard for to believe I’m worthy but I feel it right now so I know it can be so. Thanks Hope have beautiful times!

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

Star , that makes me so happy! To know I’ve made you feel a little better x

Deeps breaths help so much! I do them to reset the day sometimes lol 😂

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Awww 🥰 love you 😘 I keep deep breathing and it keeps making me yawn. I’ve had a day. This is a perfect way to switch over from my negativity to allowing myself to relax.

Learned about that breathing teqnique in lung school ....deep breathing is no good for stress ....sloww.nasal breathing is the future 👃...😁 ...the teacher said try it by taping your mouth shut 😳.....re train the brain ....get the diaphragm to relax

[Hidden in reply to Sillysausage234]

I need to do that !

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Hidden]

🙄....I was trying to be serious...is the witch 🧙‍♀️ still there

[Hidden in reply to Sillysausage234]

No I’m serious because of my condition my breathing technique is really bad I’ve been told

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Hidden]

Ok we can do it together tomorrow get some strong gaffer tape ...🤐....have a good few goes of our steroid inhaler and we’ll try it out.....call it diaphragm club 😃...what time...think stars coming too

[Hidden in reply to Sillysausage234]

Haha sorry I didn’t make it my nostrils completely gave up on me !!!! So I couldn’t attend diaphragm club ! 💀

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Hidden]

Hi hope it’s ok I think mel wants to try it too maybe next week sometime.

[jocie609 in reply to Sillysausage234]

Are you saying breathe from your diaphragm or your nose

[Sillysausage234 in reply to jocie609]

Nose ...slowly....there’s a video 👆up there a tutorial...worth a few minutes to watch it

[melbrown in reply to Sillysausage234]

lol... r u sure that's why she said to tape ur mouth? 😅

[Sillysausage234 in reply to melbrown]

😁pinkie promise mel it retrains the brain and relaxes the diaphragm slowwwwwww nasal controlled breathing ,deep breathing is the opposite of what you need hence a brown paper bag for panic attacks....so you just breathe carbon dioxide in...and stop hyperventilating 😅I wouldn’t joke about something serious

[Hidden in reply to melbrown]

🤣 🤣 🤣 Think she just needed some quiet 🤫 so she handed out some tape ... I play the silent game with nieces and nephews too... ‘who can stay quiet the longest’ ...

[Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234]

My device won’t let me watch but I’ll check back later... but yeah one of my mindfulness teachers was always having us breathe through the nose.

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Starrlight]

Buteyko..breathing technique

[Sillysausage234]

Completely random but have a song I know you’re bored now....brb

Tomorrow is a whole new day indeed try and be in a positive frame of mind in the morning and take it through the day! Try and leave the problems of today behind and you will be stronger! David

[Starrlight in reply to Celtic27]

I really love your mindset, this is what I am trying too. But lately just breathing in a present moment is difficult, so much pain, yet, I still am retraining my brain with positivity.

[Celtic27 in reply to Starrlight]

I'm glad I've help some one that's made my day take care david

[Starrlight in reply to Celtic27]

❤️

[Celtic27 in reply to Starrlight]

Thx ❤️

[Starrlight in reply to Celtic27]

Yups

[bridder01]

Just be. That's all anyone can ask. Just......be.

[Hidden in reply to bridder01]

Absolutely

[JEG325]

I agree. I forgot to be myself for a long, long time. But, lately I've been able to be myself more. I sure have felt a lot better too! Sometimes your physical health can drag your mental health down too. So, remember to get some exercise, sunshine, stay hydrated and eat good, nutritious food. Associate with some people you do like. (Form a 'No Witches Allowed' club(lol)). I'll add some extra prayers for you too, my awesome friend!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

Sorry for the late reply , I’ve not been very well .

That’s some great advice you gave there and I’m glad you’re feeling a lot better!

My goodness I will forever be a part of the ‘no Witches and Goblins allowed club!!’

Take care

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I hope you feel better quickly, my friend. That's all I can ask. I'll be around if you need me. Hugs and love from Sue and me!

[melbrown]

Hi Hope. Great message... my therapy homework is actually to do 3 minutes of a breathing/grounding exercise daily. It helps... so easy to forget to do... so thanks for reminder.

[Hidden in reply to melbrown]

Thanks for the message Mel and sorry for the late reply I’ve had a cold so been resting.

You’re welcome for the reminder and I might actually try that.. 3 mins of breathing !

[melbrown in reply to Hidden]

No worries... actually been sick myself... anxiety + being sick= not fun at all. Hope u r feeling better hun.💛

[Hidden]

Oh how I'd love to be able to turn your frown upside down...wish I may, wish I might have the wish for you tonight!

Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs for you!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Haha thanks ! Do you know any spells to get rid of Witches and Goblins???

(Sorry for late reply have a cold)

[Celtic27 in reply to Hidden]

Don't get married then you won't have a mother in law

[Country101]

I needed that message

[Hidden in reply to Country101]

I’m glad it helped you 😊

[Epsom1]

Yes that is a good mindset- absolutely tomorrow is a new day. Take time to slowly do the things that bring you a feeling of calm and peace today. A short walk may be a good plan, fresh air can help clear the mind. Thank you for sharing.

[Hidden in reply to Epsom1]

Absolutely! And thanks for your advice too 😊

[dangerousmind4523]

I don’t know anymore. Just got some bad news this morning and at this point, who cares?!?! My advice: life is too short for the dumb stuff and what do you ask is the dumb stuff?.,it is anything that causes you: pain, grief, anxiety, etc. Thank you all for the support but it is too hard right now to focus on anything but taking care of me. 🇺🇸

[Hidden in reply to dangerousmind4523]

Thank you 😊 thats the most important thing! To take care of yourself first

[Barbasol]

I always feel helpless against things I can’t change! Why is that? Anyone else?

[Starrlight in reply to Barbasol]

I think thats when we say to your brain “trust” maybe this would help... if you believe it you will feel better and really if we can’t do anything we must try to let go of controlling that we do, I do it, it’s tough, best to us! ❤️

[Hidden in reply to Barbasol]

Hey I’m sorry for the late reply I’ve not been feeling too well so have been resting.

Hmm it’s probably because you like to feel in control maybe and when you don’t you are struggling with that feeling . But I’m not sure have you tried asking a professional? Thrilled have a better answer than me . I’m sorry you feel this way 😔 always here for a chat of you need

[dangerousmind4523 in reply to Hidden]

Today is another painful yet proud day for me. I have PTSD and I am struggling just what day it is and all the feelings that come with it. I am seeking grief counseling from a pro because I know I cannot handle all the emotions that have come up. I do thank all of you for the kind words of advice.
