So today we’re going to break down the changes that we’ve made here, and introduce you to our new look WorryTree!
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.
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.
It’s that time of year again in the northern hemisphere when it’s dark when you wake up, sunny while you're at work, and dark again by the time you get home. For the lucky few, this is something they don’t even think about, but if you're anything like me it can have a massive toll on your mental health. This is because of something called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression.
