Why I call 911



Nora decided to eat and choke on a lifesaver today!!!
I remained calm enough to call 911.
After I called Nora finally got it out!!
I cancelled the peramedics..
Thank heavens for the miracle
and no lights or sirens ended up at my house in the end!!

I failed to mention in my previous post what I DO

about anxiety....

Exercise....
Sometime you HAVE to move

I have done Wii Fit (Hula Hoop is my favorite!!)
Running....it hurts soooo good
Yoga
my latest is kickboxing.....don't worry it isn't your face I picture!!



I have learned to love meditation
A year ago I could only do a couple minutes...
there are lots of different ways
progressive relaxation
imagine a favorite place
watch a bright blue sky
deep breathing
there are so many different ways!!!

Anxiety,
stressed out,
end of the rope,
ready to lose it!

That is what I thought anxiety was...though true

Now I also know....anxiety

feels like my arms are burning,
I move from task to task without completing anything,
frustration,
pain, really physical pain feeling like it is poured into your veins,
sleepless nights,
foggy head,
an intense need to move.

in the end...anxiety

is uncomfortable but manageable
and doesn't define who I am.
