I do simple yet seriously corny things to try to alleviate anxiety (cause I am really good at getting all worked up).
1) When I was trying to stop smoking I started this thing where I picture when I was the very most relaxed I can ever remember being. For me, it was in a hammock on an island (I was on a cruise).Everyone else was snorkeling and playing volleyball etc. Mr. Lil and I curled up in this hammock, I can remember I had on a black bikini and my stomach was sooo tan and my skin was soooo warm and so unlike me at the time, I actually fell asleep in his arms right there. I run that script over and over.
2) I set up a routine for when I am anxious. I try to just do some calming things like listen to alternative rock really loud and sing. Chew gum. Say a mantra.
3) Masturbate
4) Eat starches...hence my fat ass
but mashed potatoes or mac n cheese are comfort foods that effect your chemistry.
5) Bug the crap out of the people who love you. Tell someone what's up.
6) Write a sentence about what is making you feel tense and burn it using a blue candle. Then inhale deeply and exhale deeply thinking about your problem disappearing with your exhalation, as you blow the candle out.
