Anxiety like many words can have multiple meanings and implications.

Or 

Could be defined as fear, heightened negative emotion.  In this state. It  can easily become an obstacle

St Patricks Day 2026

Today, March 17th is St Patricks Day. Some of our friends had a chance to celebrate St Patricks on last Saturday.

What are your plans for St Patricks day …

Do you know why we are celebrating St Patricks life? 

Patrick was born in Britain,

Going to Ireland made him an immigrant

Not only was he an immigrant  but he was also a trouble maker? 

 Stress and anxiety are hot topics these days.

I came across some recommendations from the MayoClinic health system.

The initial part of the article described how anxiety or stress may manifest in our lives.

More interesting, the 2nd half of the article mentions techniques to deal with stress and anxiety.

Some of the recommendations include selfcare

Getting sleep - eating well ~ not using substances to control us

Other techniques which we include in our practice

Exercise should always be discussed with your Rehab treatment person or treatment team

exercise ~ 

Elbow bends (While seated)

Arm reaches

Knee lifts

Kict outs

Ankle pumps

Breath work - 6 deep breaths - be silent for 5 to 20 min - just being receptive

using a journal 

Physically writing about your reflections

Always start with positive affirmations about yourself

Allow positive thoughts or feelings to manifest in your consciousness

if you have a therapist discuss the elements of your journal

Walking in nature

Be observant

Notice the waves of the water

Notice the change in shape of the clouds

Use your camera or phone to photograph any unusual or beautiful patterns in nature

These images can be recalled when You are having a rough day and be a source of reminder or inspiration to move toward your well being

Remember 

You are number 1 

To fulfill your purpose you must love yourself first

genuine self love is the key toward your finding your purpose and fulfillment

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL
