Anxiety Much?

Okay this is what I'm working on. Finding ways to control my anxiety and figuring out the most positive way to turn the nervous freak outs into calm breathing. Right now I am freaking out, sweating under my arm pits and feeling a tad bit claustrophobic so how am I going to deal with this? Whip out my Bible and bibly study and focus on that. I am going to bring my thoughts back around to the "normal" Caitlan and just breath. I will push the text book aside because in the long run that is not going to help the anxiety but God can.

So friends when you find yourself freaking out and about to do whatever it is you do when you freak out (you know what your thing is, we all have one and I even have several) try and rationalize for TWO MINUTES. For two minutes of your freak out try and push the negative thoughts aside even if that isn't very far but just far enough to have some space in your brain to think of a secure and promising stress reliever. Now I know once you hit a freak out it is hard to get out of it but you can do it, I promise you you can. Grab your Bible, grab a journal, go somewhere quite, call a friend to come with if you need to and close your eyes and let God calm your breathing. Take as much time as you need and don't focus on anything but His presence. Yes the bad thoughts will try to make their way back in, that's normal but just take another breathe and read another verse. When you feel you have your mind, breathing and emotions under enough control to where you can finish the day then move on, no need to dwell on the freak out. It happens to us all don't think you are strange just look at it as a time to love on Jesus and don't forget to allow Him to love YOU back!
