here is what worked for me: 1. I write during breakfast 2. I accepted the fact that my page should not be an example of great storytelling, actually it’s full of random dummy thoughts but this is the point - allow yourself to write whatever you want and do not care about the beauty of thoughts and words

Over a year ago, I got so anxious about my anxiety that I decided to do something about it. That’s when I started building a morning routine to calm myself down. I didn’t add everything all at once, but here’s what I do every morning now, and I feel so much better for it:
- Walk the dog (this used to be my husband’s job!)
- A refreshing shower with lots of moisturizer
- A few light stretches or simple exercises
- Breakfast
- Write a page of whatever’s on my mind in my journal
- Read at least one page from a book
- Think of one thing I’m grateful for
- Fill out my emotion diary
- Check my personal goals and make sure I’m staying on track
It sounds like a lot, but I’m so used to it that when I skip it (like when I’m traveling), it just doesn’t feel right. This routine has been a game-changer for my anxiety and helps me start the day on the right foot. #photostr #nostr
Got a pretty unpleasant notification today that hit me hard. It turns out I spent over a full day last week just scrolling through social media and news. Totally not in line with my goal of cutting back on easy dopamine distractions. At first, I was frustrated, but then I realized that this is actually empowering. Now I can see the problem, own it, and work on doing better next week and week after and after. Little by little, I’m taking my time back 💪 #Nostr #photostr
wow, thank you, this is exactly what I need
what I know for sure is that I do not want to live my life being anxious about things I cannot control
so I had to figure out different ways how to trick my mind to ease my anxiety 🤪
Hi #Nostr. My name is Yu, and I have a fear of getting older (I'm 25, btw). I try to ease this fear in different ways. Here is one tip that always helps me: when I travel the world, I love seeing older people doing the same things I do - climbing mountains, taking pictures, having fun. It gives me hope that life doesn't stop as you age, and that it can become even more joyful with time.
