    1. Take deep breath and breath out.
    2. Touch, see, hear 3 things in environment and describe them in mind.
    3. Notice how body feels.

      The number 1 is the one that I physically can't do. I simply can't take a deep breath. The lungs can't fully expand. I think cov!d damaged both the autonomic nervous/muscle systems. Apparently, everyone with Long Cov!d or post cov!d syndrome experiences not just shortness of breath due to what could be respiration/ diaphragm muscle freeze/malfunction along with abnormal high pulse rate upon slight exertion but also malfunction with the LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter Muscles) and swallowing muscles.

    I've been having a constant panic attack for two weeks now, I haven't really slept in that time as well. My tummy is not wanting me to put food in it. I threw up twice when I tried eating proper meals, so I kind of just eat little chunks when I can bare to get something down. My skin is burning and I have developped a harsh rash on my face, neck and bag from all the stress. It's itching. But for those couple of minutes I actually felt safe. So thank you sooooo muuuuch.

    @embodiedauthenticity 3 роки тому +3

    Thank you, I like the simple way you described how to get present to the moment. I feel getting into your body, feeling the body and grounding yourself in the body is really essential there, so we don't just get lost in our head thinking about what our senses gives us in terms of inputs, but also kind of "experience" them in our bodies.

    I always have a resting heart around 100bpm. I figured it was anxiety. But it went down to 80 bpm the first time I did this. It's still high for body at rest but I'll keep doing it daily. I was first scared if I had a bigger health condition.

But actually I was to deep in my thoughts so I believed in all the negative thoughts that came in, but I just realised that it’s just anxiety and that I need to present

    Is there a video addressing the awful feeling of going into a work or even school environment each day, especially
    the first day of the week or the anxiety on Sunday evening (or whatever day it is). Not necessarily and awful work environment, just something about the first plunge in each week.

    Love your videos! Love your calming voice too. Wondering if you would consider doing a video of affirmations? I often wish I had a video to play with affirmations that help calm the anxious person, such as "you are safe" and "you are worthy of happiness", etc. Your voice would be perfect for this type of video.

    Funnily enough, I actually recognized this exercise on my own on a day I was taking a walk to calm down (I like to do that a lot). As I was walking, I noticed that focusing on my environment and my sensations really calmed down. It was even natural to just feel the touch of my own hands and the wind and stuff like that. I've been trying this for a while and it works most of the time. Kinda reassuring to hear your other video where you mention these become more and more effective as you do them.
