Anxiety and sleep problems often go hand-in-hand. You don’t need me to tell you that. If you've ever spent a night tossing and turning, feeling like a bag of cats in a washing machine, then you know the struggle. You know those nights when you're exhausted, but your brain decides it's the perfect time to remind you of every little thing you’ve ever messed up? Welcome to the vicious cycle of sleep and anxiety.
Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time as a natural response to stress or some kind of threat, but it becomes a problem when our anxious feelings are long-term, chronic and out of proportion to the situation or event. That’s when it’s important that we seek help and support from our families, friends and/or a health professional.
As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 and this year’s theme is anxiety, we asked our team and our community what are their go-to ways to deal with their anxiety.
We've been working on and off for the past few months on a new way for us to walk alongside you as you make the journey towards worrying less. We know that not everyone wants to do their worry journaling on their phone or tablet - after all, many of us are trying to reduce the time we spend on our phones.
And so we created our printable journaling page, and thanks to it's success we decided to go one step further and now we've created a whole guided workbook with you in mind.
Sensory practices are all about taking us out of our heads and into our bodies. For those of us who worry and ruminate a lot, we tend to spend a lot of time inside our heads trying to think through problems and worry about them. We often get stuck in a thought loop and it can be hard to break but that’s where these practices work really well.

When it comes to worries, the best option is always to acknowledge them and work out a way to overcome them, however this isn’t always possible. Often, we find ourselves having what's known as hypothetical worries (“what if…?” worries) and in this case, overcoming the worry can be very difficult as there is no certainty to what will happen in the future. In these situations, we find the most effective method is to mindfully refocus your attention.
