When your car breaks down, it’s Triple A to the rescue. If your life bogs down, you can also turn to AAA for help:
Action Alleviates Anxiety
Sometimes a small change has a tremendous impact on our mental outlook:
* Exercise is a great stress buster. Go for a brisk walk. Boost your heart rate while lowering your stress and anxiety levels.
* Take the dog and/or kids to the park or playground. Play tag, dodge ball, or monkey in the middle. Get on with it. Live Life Now.
* Offer to take nursing home residents in wheelchairs for outings around the neighborhood. Walk dogs at the local shelter. Volunteering two hours per week can reduce stress and provide other feel good benefits.
* Join a tai chi or yoga group in the park. Meditative movements help melt anxiety. Sunshine is a mood booster.
* Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff ~ Swap out one negative thought a day for a more positive thought.
* Catch up with friends. Peel an orange. Read a book. Don’t let life slip through your fingers.
* Be mindful. Pay attention. Awake and aware, we walk, pause, listen, reflect, know, and see the world anew ~ bright, fragrant, alive.
Life is a tapestry of textures. Enjoy it! Make your life come true.
Aah . . . that’s better!
