This last Thursday, our friend Corey presented for us.  He shared with us his presentation on “Anxiety “

Unfortunately anxiety is one of those topics we can all relate to. Corey shared that there are different types of anxiety, such as GAD( general anxiety disorder).  There is also panic disorder. And anxiety can be moderate or severe, depending on the person.  Anxiety may also cause long lasting symptoms. 

Anxiety can also cause insomnia, trembling, and sometimes you may have trouble concentrating.  And sometimes when you are experiencing anxiety you may find yourself focusing too much on the future.  

During the discussion on anxiety, someone mentioned that box breathing is a technique that you can use that may help to calm you and reduce your anxiety.

Box breathing is a relaxation technique where you inhale , hold your breath, exhale , and hold again, each for a count of four , forming a “box” pattern.

Connecting with others in a similar situation, such as experiencing anxiety, may be helpful for you.  It’s also important to make sleep a priority in your life, which may help you handle your anxiety a little better.
