Panic! Nothing is going my way!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One moment everything is thriving and the next, anxiety takes over. One thing goes wrong, then another, and slowly it begins to feel like everything is against me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    & yes. It sucks.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s the story behind an anxiety attack I had recently to have context to how I use these tools myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Last week, I had an accident that put me off my feet for a still, unknown amount of time<\/strong>. I was giving a stranger a lighter because they needed one. Once the lighter was handed over, I turned around to leave. Well, upon leaving, I found myself skidding out into the road. I had tripped over the curb and landed face-first on the pavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    To be as un-gruesome as possible, I stood up and a sharp pain shot up my ankle from both sides alongside road burn. Immediate pain began, and fight or flight was taking over my body. I was going into a panic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I haven’t felt this type of pain since a child. I knew something was seriously wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Through healing over the years, I knew I couldn’t react how I had previously. I needed to calm myself down from the impending anxiety-induced panic attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How did I handle this anxiety coming my way?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I used Mental Tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Compartmentalize my emotions until I have a safe place to ask myself, “What’s going on?”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. I am allowing myself to feel everything that comes up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Focus on rewarding activities rather than restricting ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Breathe and remember I have the power of choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Have the courage to face the challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I took a moment for myself to stay present. I remembered my mental tools and oh my! They saved me from panicking in the middle of a busy street from pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thanks to my chosen mental tools, I found myself more at peace with the accident and challenge I had to face. Therefore, I found a natural calling to share with you how to find mental tools that help you during challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Okay… That was a trick question. Mental Tools are designed to be used when you feel they’re needed. Healing is not one-way-fits-all. It’s what works for you. For me, however, it’s when needed. Which totals to multiple times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      No! Mental tools are a great thing for everyone to have. Every single person experiences anxiety, fear, sadness, and disruptive emotions that throw their life out of balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
