How do you cope with anxiety?
delegation and learning to say no are also an important part of time management. I would say that if you are that overloaded that it may be time to organize and prioritize tasks and give some of what you can't handle to others. If this is a work situation, it may be time to have a meeting with everyone to figure out ways to make things more efficient. If it's balancing work at home, chore lists can be immensely helpful.
I am always chronically busy, but I've found I manage it better when I make myself a priority. I take an hour a day to exercise and I practice meditation as well a few minutes daily - both are amazing for relieving stress and anxiety and clearing the mind. A clear mind can always get more accomplished. good luck
For my anxiety disorder, I make time to meditate every day and I be sure to capture every thought and analyze it before I produce a reaction. Think of how you to understand cravings and feelings your having and understand that there is always an initial thought "I desire a candy bar!" (or something
), which thought has no power it is simply a thought. What actually has power is the REACTION to the thought. For instance, you may think that because you had a longing for something bad that "it's all likely to come back" or "I won't be able to endure this". Try to eliminate these mental poison as they are the root of your anxiety. You'll make it through your eating disorder and you'll be able to throw off the cravings.
I've worked through a severe panic attacks with almost no medical help. It had been a struggle, but I'm quite scared of these medications that they have nowadays with negative effects worse than what they are treating.
