When I feel anxious, I

This page is for my sister whom I love. She shared this list with me and I thought it was worth sharing with everyone.

When I feel anxious, I...

- Pray
- Enjoy a ride in nature…
- Visit a craft or antique fair
- Find something interesting to do
- Reach out to someone else
- Say something positive or caring to someone else
- Give someone a smile
- Give someone a hug
- Write down my feelings (if it doesn't make me feel more anxious)
- Decorate the house
- Research an interesting topic in a book or on the internet
- Take a warm shower
- Work in my journal/scrapbook
- Light candles and enjoy them while doing something else
- Write a thank you note to someone for something I appreciate about them
- Give a gift to someone I care about
- Share my feelings with a few trusted gal friends
- Ask advice from mature women who walk with Christ and have confronted hardships in their own lives without hardening their hearts or losing their faith
- Read the bible and understand through it's words that I am not the first nor last to suffer in my Christian walk
- Go out with a friend
- Have a social encounter…coffee, talk, walk…with women who enjoy me

“One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour; at the world's end somewhere, and holds fast to the days, as to fortune or fame.”
- Willa Cather

“If we are willing to learn our lessons gently, they patiently await us in countless ways. Today, try listening to the wisdom of a child; accepting the kindness of a friend; reaching out to those in need; acting on your intuition.”
- Sarah Ban Breathnach
