Stress, Anxiety and Panic Attack’s can be CALMED!

For years I struggled with depression, anxiety which would turn into panic attacks. This started after the birth of my second child and went on for many years.  I met a wonderful lady Jodie who taught me about affirmations.  

By saying positive affirmations, you can disrupt the negative thought patterns that are feeding the anxiety. 

Step 1 - print out and laminate the affirmations

Step 2 - say the affirmations every day try for twice a day.

Step 3 - say the affirmations in front of a mirror (this is a hard one) It did take some        time to be able to do it but I did it.

When I am doing my affirmations or when I am starting to feel anxious… 

Step 1 place one or two drops of the oil in my left hand.

Step 2 put right hand over left hand and run the oil in a clockwise motion

Step 3 Place your ring finger and middle finger starting with the right hand. 

Step 4 with your left hand block your left nostril. Breath in through the right nostril and 

    Out through the left.

Step 5 Switch hands and breath in through the left nostril and out with the right.  

Step 6 repeat this 5 times.  

After doing thisI feel extremely calm and relaxed.  Some days are tougher than others and I will have to do this a few time during the day.
