7 SELF-CARE Habits for Anxiety (+ panic attacks)

[@avishigupta6049]

1. Remember that what you’re going through will pass. 2. Accept not resist what you’re feeling. 3. Breathe slow and deeply. 4. Talk it out. 5. Get outside. 6. Eat Regularly without long breaks. 7. Say no to caffeine. Thanks for sharing these Meghan. ❤️

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

👍Take a deep breath. Accept that you're anxious. Realize that your brain is playing tricks on you. Question your thoughts. Use a calming visualization. Be an observer - without judgment.

[@rachelb1080]

Doesn't matter that these are the typical things we hear all the time to do. I'm currently going through an episode and seeing someone on screen that I could tell who truly cared and felt like they were talking me through it made me feel so much better. Sometimes we need a reminder to do these simple things. Thank you ❤️

[@jessie9653]

I agree

[@Sarah-rt9fo]

I suffer with anxiety and panic, and feel hopelessness alot. I will apply these steps to my life. I appreciate you and thank you.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey Sarah, you're so not alone. I can relate! Sending you lots of calm vibes. ✨

[@jodythomas1159]

@Sarah, me too Sarah. Sending you a hug 🤗

[@jessie9653]

I do find cutting down on caffeine helps

[@mariahhall8481]

Sending prayers and hugs. 💕🤗

I struggle with anxiety so much so that I don’t drive and I’ve quit a couple jobs in the past, however for the past few years I’ve been a childless housewife and have been loving it! Also my husband takes me places and he’s a very cute chauffeur! ❤️

[@jessie9653]

Me too. I have a license but do not drive out of fear and anxiety in my husband also chauffeurs me LOL. Same when it comes to jobs. I'm just so thankful my husband has a really great job and I can stay home. Not everyone is so lucky

[@carrie-leehurzeler7413]

You are right. We are both very fortunate.

[@angelasilva4232]

You’re videos really calm me down. I had a panic attack in class today and a couple things that help me, for everyone that goes through the same is: Take 3 deep breaths, think about 3 things that I’m grateful for and try to list 3 things that I can see and hear. It really helps me calm down and slow my heart rate.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Glad this video helped Angela, and I love that you do those things! All of those are very helpful 💕

[@TheGatewayProductions]

Huge thanks for this video! Anxiety is devastating but we can crush it!

[@throughajournal7029]

Thank you for this video! I used to get panic attacts and what helped me (this is a weird one) was singing! Just any song. It took my mind off of the panic thoughts and made me feel a lot better

[@cynthiagreencmt7709]

Thnx Megan, I needed to hear this. I’m a certified massage therapist so I appreciate holistic health alternatives & ideas for self care. A few months ago my anxiety & panic was so bad I had to get medical tests. Turns out I needed more magnesium & I’m vegetarian so I needed to incorporate more protein. I’ve started to eat fish a few days a week & prioritize eating more across the day because my job is literally like a work out. I also started taking supplements like D3 & vitamin C. I do take B12 supplements already but the other supplements really helped me. Another vital thing that has helped was trying to go to bed and wake up at the exact same time every day no matter what what. I also turn down the lights and make my way to my bedroom around 9 PM so I can begin to wind down for the night. I’m not saying this is good for everyone but I’m just saying what I had to do for my own personal care. I’m glad you mentioned caffeine as I’m sensitive & don’t even drink coffee. I like Matcha green tea & chocolate too 😎 so I need to be careful. Anyways, I’ve been feeling a bit anxious the past few days as I have been working a lot. Thank you again for covering this topic. A lot of us really need to hear this right now.

[@meghanlivingstone]

All such important things! Especially magnesium. I'm currently taking magnesium for a few different reasons and I find it very relaxing. Thanks for sharing your experiences Cynthia 😊

[@jodythomas1159]

@Cynthia, thank you for commenting. I appreciate your tips on supplements. I’ve felt I need them, but I don’t always take them.

[@miharu9794]

The number two, ACCEPTANCE, it's fundamental, for me. It took me a really long time to understand what i was doing wrong, i wasn't LISTENING and recognizing my emotions. When i started doing it, it really changed my perspective. Also: if you try not to hear it, you are giving the thought POWER and you're also subconsciously saying to you that you're not strong enough and doing so, reinforcing the anxiety

[@meghanlivingstone]

When I was struggling with pretty severe anxiety about a decade ago, acceptance was the single most pivotal change for me. Learning to not resist the scary feelings helped SO much. Since then it's always something I remember to do! Thanks for sharing Elisabetta! ❤️

[@tanishajackson1694]

Omg this video is right on time. I’ve literally been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for the past few months 😭 thank you so much for this.

[@laralynmiranda5698]

Thank you Ms. Meghan for your sweet advice I appreciate it a lot. Another thing is to pray. Sometimes we tend to control everything but remember God is in control. Be kind to ourselves. 😘❤

[@erica1664]

I have to say that your videos really help me to relax and have a different perspective.

[@meghanlivingstone]

I'm really glad to hear that! 💕

[@Hyggebugg]

Thank you for this! I watched/listened during an attack (right now) and it helped me tremendously

[@keshiathompson-simplehealt5013]

Meghan, this video is so much needed and I love all your tips! Breathing, going outside, and writing on my journey are some things that helps calm and ease me when I get so anxious! Also, listening to 432hz mediation music is very soothing and I don't drink or eat any caffeine. Self care is so important and thank you again for this wonderful video💖💜

[@carolynpagliuca5657]

Thanks so much for your kindness.

[@thitime3430]

I didn't think I had anxiety until the older I get, usually when dealing with time crunch. I am learning to cope with it.

[@brynhuggins6]

Needed to be reminded by these. Thank you so much! 🥺

[@martyt526]

Thank you Meghan. I think that many people need to know those things, especially during this difficult time for everyone. It this can help someone as well, focusing on the present has been really helpful for me when dealing with anxiety. Bad memories of the past and too many expectations for something that might not even happen in the future can be destructive. Don't let any negative thoughts suffocate you and focus on doing your best in the present moment.

[@exoticaism]

This is a great video, thank you for your wisdom

[@livingwithevelyn]

Very interesting topic....For me eating regularly is very key.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Absolutely. So important for sure.

[@craftyazshabbyshacjude3297]

Awesome advise , my husband burst and eye vessel, and was told by his doctor and specialist it is due to stress,...the silent killer,.and anxiety.....Men I think are harder to advise as they think they should be strong, but our bodies can only take so much before something will give out,...our bodies are awesome indicators that something is up. Always ask for help ,....its ok .. Thank you Meghan you have wisdom and strength,....sending love from NZ xox

[@naturalleejess700]

Thank you! These tips are super helpful!

[@ferideak9761]

Hey there! Why dont you upload any videos anymore? I just checked your youtube channels and you are so cute. 😍😊

[@yvettebennett6170]

The breath is huge for me. So is going for walk. Your voice has always calmed me as well. Oh, a cup of herbal tea, caffeine free of course. It just feels special. Thank you for these tips.

[@LuminousLibro]

These are all the same or similar to advice my therapist has given me over the years. Excellent advice and these things really help! Even though I already knew most of these, it is good to be reminded and hear it again. The more I revisit these tips, the more I’m likely to remember them in a moment of panic. Thank you for this great video!

[@C60PurplePower]

SO glad you covered self-care today, it is so important and not talked about enough!

[@forensicmentalhealthandCBT]

[@flonagnanamuthu9978]

Wonderful video... 👏👏👏

[@platypusperry9778]

This helped me a lot. Thank you❤️

[@-greentoad]

I just recently came across your videos and trying to watch most of them. I have suffered generalized anxiety for years. Even saw a therapist who taught me breathing exercises and mindful meditation. I love your suggestions. But on the one, talk it out, most of the time I don't know what brought on the anxiety. Just happens out of the blue for no reason. So wouldn't know what to say. There are a few times I know exactly what brought it on but most the time I don't. Love your videos I've seen so far.

[@leonoresalmantine]

Thank you for this great video ! All your tips are on point. For me what is most helpful is trying to take a step back and seeing the big picture, breathing and allowing the emotions to flow through me instead of tensing and resisting them. Meditation and enough sleep are also really helpful as a continuous practice to reduce my anxiety in the long term and manage it better when it shows up. I really appreciate the quality of the content you put out as well as its aesthetics that are soothing and create a soft and warm atmosphere.

[@agnieszkaking4609]

Great tips 😁 Remembering that the feeling will pass is so important! But also so hard to do sometimes 😭

[@kimberlywhisenant3442]

Hi Meghan this is Kim! I'm new to your channel. I enjoyed your video thanks! I had a rough day yesterday. I was looking forward to seeing a family member, and she hasn't been feeling good! I was planning to go see her, but I can't now. So my anxiety was flared up! I like to color, exercise, and meditate. Thanks again, Kim😀

[@ferideak9761]

Welcome :) hope you learn a lot from her wonderful videos

Thank you

[@jodythomas1159]

I wake up with my mind racing. I mean it won’t shut up. Five million things from various topics. I start my day in a panic and simply exhausted....restless. I can’t stand it. 😔

[@jessie9653]

I know what you mean, and since I'm perimenopausal it's only gotten worse

[@120mitchmd]

Me too! Try journaling.. sometimes when you see your thoughts on paper, you feel lighter inside and your mind gets a bit decluttered.

[@octoberfirefly]

I just checked your channel but you have no videos even if you have 247 followers. Why is that?

[@mariahhall8481]

Needed this. Thank you so much! I just pray that The Lord heals whoever struggles with anxiety/panic attacks or any mental health problems, so I’m praying right now including myself that he heals us all and continues to guide us through our experiences with this in peace. In Jesus name. Amen. So as a Christian it’s important to Talk with The Lord about it and has a self care activity I just listen to music and talk with a friend about it. But also The Lord will listen.❤️✝️
