5 Ways to knock out YOUR Anxiety!

I am no doctor, therapist or life guru, but I do know a thing or two about stress.

5 things that helped reduce my own stress & anxiety.

1.

Eliminate/reduce ALCOHOL.
More water.

2.

No caffeine, unless it's green tea or caffeine made from green tea extract.

I'm obsessed with Vanilla Rooibos tea.

Here's how to make a Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte:

Adapted from: http://www.food.com/recipe/starbucks-vanilla-rooibos-tea-latte-copycat-352436#ixzz1pVZn4xPQ

• 3/4 Cup Almond/Soy/Hemp/Rice Milk
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 1 vanilla rooibos tea bag
• 1 TSP Vanilla extract
• Dash of Stevia
• Dash of Cinnamon

Join Milk & Tea Bag and heat up for 1:30 in Microwave

Boil hot water and pour in hot tea & milk mug.
Add vanilla extract, stevia & cinnamon.

Think it's around 65 Calories if not less.

Starbucks version is more than double the calories & sugar.

3.

WALKING, YOGA (hot/normal), HIKING, DANCING!
Anything to get the blood flowing!

Raise those serotonin levels!

4.

Meditation (even 5 minutes is enough)

Free AND easy guided meditations are online.

5.

Legs up the wall.
So easy. So calming. So worth it!
5-10 minutes is all you need, but some do it for 10-15 mins.

Here's why this pose works:

* Calms your nervous system

* Relieves tension in lower back & sacrum

* Helpful for minor depression & anxiety

* Relaxes your adrenals

* Calms your mind

* Reduces swelling in your feet and legs

* Releases tension and stress from your legs – they will feel lighter

* Rests your heart as your feet are above the heart – reversing effects of gravity

* Brings fresh blood & lymph fluid into your abdomen & organs  – very refreshing

Laziness or Fear?

"Laziness is often a result of being overwhelmed with mind overload;
we simply shut down.
Learn to purge your mind through healthy and
INTENSE body practices,
then take a solid 10 minute Savasana.
Learn to relax, and fire from that place.
You'll hit your mark more readily and with a higher frequency."
-Kishan Shah.

Funny THing

Right when you start making plans, life happens.  I am always searching.  Searching for the next best place to eat a vegan meal.  Searching for a happy and hot-weathered destination.  Searching for the yummiest and healthiest way to make a dairy free chocolate chip cookie.  Searching for what I'm supposed to be doing in this life.

I put these insane deadlines and pressure on myself and for what!?  So I can finally feel like I'm contributing enough to society?  Am I making my parents/self/friends proud yet?  Have I found my passion?

A wise man told me recently to slow down.

So that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Slooowww dowwn.
