Building your coping resources.

Resiliency Skill #1:
Build your coping resources. Exercise, meditate, practice yoga or some other form of relaxation on a regular basis. These activities (when practiced regularly) not only help you relax after a stressful day, they help make more impervious to stress in the future. (Remember what makes a resiliency skill different from a stress management skill is the resiliency skill helps you build an immunity to stress where stress bothers you less and less.

Acknowledging Anxiety

The first step in reducing our anxiety is to acknowledge our anxiety.  When you hide your anxious feelings for weeks, months, years; the anxiety perpetuates.  Anxiety is not your fault.  There is nothing inherently wrong with who you are.  You are a good, valuable, uniquely special person.  You simply are experiencing anxiety.  You are not alone.  Share how you are feeling with a trustworthy friend, partner, or professional.  When you acknowledge how you feel, you taken an important step toward feeling better.  You step into the driver's seat and take the wheel away from axiety.  You open the door to learning how to feel better.
