Deep Breath & Try Again

from Sun Gazing - https://www.facebook.com/sungazing1

Yesterday was not a pleasant day and I still have some anxiety today but I hope it does not get bad with catching it early with a better plan.  I drank to much coffee this morning which does not help anxiety but will be have chamomile tea soon which always helps me.  Plus it is a very sunny day and it will help with my SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), but also was under my light for an hour which always helps.  I am going to do some artwork today, work on my Bucket List and go for an extended walk in a park (maybe Central Park in Burnaby).  So like it says above, will Take a Deep Breath and Try Again so I can take small steps to meet my Dreams that I have put down on my Bucket List.

If interested in seeing what I put on my Bucket List and if you want to start your own, I highly recommend going to the following website: http://bucketlist.org/ and see mine at http://bucketlist.org/list/Alexandra2Cents/

Rain & Shine

This is a great quote that I'm going to use as a inspiration for me on rainy and windy days...

“It’s not what happens when the sun shines that defines you. It’s what you do when it rains.”

—Kute Blackson

 I saw this on my facebook feed under: Positively Positive  (https://www.facebook.com/positivelypositive) and found this quote helping me to get outside of the apartment for a few hours today...

I made it out of my apartment and was pleasantly surprised to temporarily see the sun peaking from the overcast skies realizing that I would of missed it if I stayed inside.  I also enjoyed a cup of herbal tea (raspberry) at one of my favourite coffee stops and was able to handle my anxiety when someone came in and started talking very loud and made a bit of an disturbance.  I have learned in the past  to help my anxiety by doing the following: deep breathing, practicing mindfulness and/or listening to the radio on my cell phone and doing some activities like writing and drawing.
