Taking Time Out For Me

[Sweed1]

When I think of all the natural remedies that could or might help my anxiety I realize it all boils down to taking time for me. I spend all week rushing to get things done for other people and yet my needs get shoved to the back in my desire to do my job well or please other people, so by the time the weekend arrives I am not only tired and filled with muscle aches and pain, but I am mental fatigued and loaded with anxiety. This is my time to rest and use natural remedies to heal my body.

I relax in my recliner and read books or watch movies. I go out in my yard and enjoy my wild flowers and wild bunnies that seem not to be afraid and keep on munching on the tender grass and clover in my yard. Set on my back porch and enjoy the sunshine or take a walk to enjoy the blooming bushes and flowers through-out my neighborhood.
I invite good friends over for lunch or to take a ride in the country with me. Breath fresh air and enjoy nature in its finest hours. Take time to look up at the night sky and see stars and maybe UFO's. lol These are my natural healing remedies. What are yours?? Please share and give other members ideas on relieving their stressful anxiety filled lives.

Besides taking time out for myself (which isn't very often), I find that I can relax naturally by shifting the focus from myself to other people or things and basically just letting go. There are days when I let my child plan how we're going to spend the weekend then I let him take over. The little boss has a mind of his own and I am simply amazed at how he looks at life and at ordinary things that I would have not even thought about. For this little guy, I am just his mom, I'm not pressured to put appearances at all. With him, I can be myself and not be judged. So it's a totally relaxing experience to spend the day or the weekend with him minus his homework and stuff and without the pressures of my job and relationships. Yeah, I am the luckiest woman to have this child in my life.
