Drone anxiety? It’s a thing. Well at least it is now, particularly for those in the northeast US in places like New Jersey. The sightings may not be normal but the anxious reaction to the unknown is very normal. This is where some degree of transparency would go a long way. Bottom line is….concern yourself and your thoughts with those things you can control. And do not dwell on those things you can’t. Chances are a lot of crazy things happened in the world since you were born and chances are extremely high your life will carry on beyond this period of anxiety. So have faith in probability and focus on things under your control particularly positive things. Life will align appropriately. #dronesightings #NJDRONES #NJDroneSightings #UAP #orbspotting #anxiety #anxietyrelief

Boredom is a serious source of anxiety. As much so as being overwhelmed or stressed. This is especially true for the typically ambitious. If you think about times in your life where you have been bored and uninspired you will find anxiety. #anxiety #boredom #anxietyrelief

Anybody know a good sleep coach for toddlers? Before the jokes arrive, I know I may sometimes behave like a toddler, but this would be help for an actual toddler. 😀 #sleep #sleepplan #sleepcoach #sleeptraining

Most of us have loved ones that, to put it mildly, can be a negative force. It can be difficult to not allow some of this negativity to affect our own moods and emotions. Although it can be hard, in the midst of their negativity, pause for a moment of clarity….and realise you control how you feel. Life is too short to allow these individuals to dominate your feelings. Be you ! ❤️ #negativity #family

This lack of permanence should give people hope. #anxiety

Focusing on your anxiety is like putting logs on the fire 🔥 Draw your attention to other things preferably things you enjoy and capture multiple senses. The fire will wane and eventually start to burn out. #anxiety #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #stressmanagement #burnout @AnxietyUK @calm @Headspace @ZivaMeditation

Does distraction help with relieving anxiety? In short….Yes, but with some caveats. Anxiety disorders always have an obsessive and/or habitual element which drives it. By shifting one’s focus one inevitably destroys some of the anxiety’s power. But not all distractions are created equal and some are healthy while others are not. Distraction (or Focus Shifting as I prefer to call it) techniques are best used in conjunction with other strategies for stress and anxiety reduction. Ultimately your state will dictate how you feel for the most part. This can be accomplished from different lifestyle changes including Priming rituals, exercise, breathwork, and positive mental routines (not an exhaustive list). This in conjunction with Focus Shifting will create the holistic change needed to obliterate debilitating anxiety for good. #anxiety #anxietysurvivor #anxietyrelief #stressmanagement #stressrelief

Someone close to me is celebrating their 80th birthday today. A big event is being held in his honour. It reminded me of a thought I had awhile back. Too many people don’t appreciate their birthdays. They play them down or view them as another year older. Truth is …they should truly be celebrated! It’s about gratitude for life itself, and marking another chapter of experiences, as well as, yet another opportunity, to spend time with those we love. ❤️ #birthdays #Gratitude #carpediem #amorfati

Another advocate of priming inspired by Tony Robbins. Priming is tested and scientifically backed as a way to drive mood, focus, energy, creativity, and inspiration. I’d take that any day of the week. #priming #TonyRobbins #Focus #mood @TonyRobbins @bensmithlive

Poignant insight from @SusanDavid_PhD. The splitting lends itself to tribalism creating the illusion of safety. The truth is that it creates an echo chamber stunting the growth of its members and sparks division.

Love this quote from Kobe Bryant. Such a shame we don’t still have this guy around. He was so much more than just an athlete and I believe there was so much more to come from him. Glad to see moments like this shared though. 🙏🏼 #KobeBryant #Wisdom
