Turn off Anxiety in your Nervous System: Four Ways to Turn on the Parasympathetic Response
Your brilliant, wise, beautiful body and has a counterbalancing force to combat stress and anxiety called the parasympathetic response. That's Para as in Parachute. And this is the body's natural way of slowing down and creating a sense of calm and safety. So it works like this, If your brain thinks you're in a dangerous situation, your body triggers Flight, Fight, Freeze response. But, when the dangerous situation is resolved and your brain knows you're safe, your body then triggers this parasympathetic response, which is also sometimes called rest and digest. It’s called this because, as your body starts to relax and transitions from that Fight, Flight Freeze response, other systems in your body which had temporarily been switched off, like digestion, come back online and start functioning normally again. Your breathing automatically slows down, your immune system turns back on, and you’re able to relax, calm down, and your body has time to heal.

How to Be Assertive
Assertive communication is essential for good relationships, and to feel good about yourself. But many people don't know how to be assertive. They use other, less helpful communication styles. Being assertive means expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in an open and respectful way. It means standing up for yourself and respecting others. Assertiveness is crucial for a good relationship, and it builds self-esteem - because when you’re being more truthful to your values, beliefs, and opinions, you have more integrity. You’re more honest with yourself both inwardly and outwardly.

And, how rigorous research has shown that light therapy can be as effective as antidepressant medication at treating non-seasonal depression. Check out Bright Light Therapy Lamps at Carex: There are many natural options to treat depression, and many doctors and aren’t aware of the benefits of light therapy or their first go-to treatment is trying an antidepressant medication.

3 Minute Stress Management
Stress is the aspect of anxiety that we feel in our body. Worry is about thoughts, but stress is how our muscles get tense, our breathing gets tight, it makes you ache or makes your hands sweat, stress is the physiological response to perceived danger. So when your brain perceives a threat, whether it’s a tiger or an upcoming deadline, your brain triggers that FFF response. But we can train our mind and body to be calm by doing little activities that regulate the nervous system, and it’s best if we do these throughout the day. Now for people who work in manual labor jobs, stress reduction may look like resting on the couch, but for people who spend much of their day frozen at their computer, reducing stress is probably going to be most effective if we incorporate movement.

Facing Fear of Death- 4 Skills for Anxiety and Fear of Death and Dying
Are you afraid of dying? Does thinking about death or dying make you so anxious that you avoid any and all aspects of it? Or do distressing thoughts about death bother you? Or are you just in complete denial, trying to pretend that it won’t happen? In this episode we’re going to talk about four psychological skills for facing a fear of death, the anxiety around death, and some strategies that may be helpful for you. And I’ll tell you why I once took a bunch of depressed teenagers to a cemetery. *If you’re thinking about suicide, this video may not be for you. In one way, a fear of death can serve a function: to help us avoid things that might kill us. A healthy and functional fear of death can help us make safer choices and choose to live a better life. Suicide is an act that harms others. It’s not the way you want to leave the world. So if you’re feeling suicidal, perhaps instead of watching this video, reach out to someone who can help you or learn some new skills to work through emotions. You could check out my anxiety skills or grounding skills playlist, for example. A dysfunctional fear of death, on the other hand, can lead to avoidance behaviors that make us feel worse, lead to higher anxiety, and prevent us from living life the way we would choose. So these things are what we’re going to address today. Looking for affordable online counseling? My sponsor, BetterHelp, connects you to a licensed professional for $65/week.
