I’m halfway out the door in the morning with a heavy bag in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. Then I wonder: Where did I put my keys? And so begins the 20-minute panicked reconnaissance mission for the keys I swore were on the coffee table. I start to feel flustered and irritable as I frantically search. My memory gets foggy as my heart starts to pound and my palms sweat. It’s another anxious morning.
Technically, anxiety is apprehension over an upcoming event. We anticipate the future with sometimes scary predictions that don’t necessarily have any basis in truth. In everyday life, anxiety’s physical and emotional symptoms can mean an increased heart rate, poor concentration at work and school, sleeping problems, and just being a total Crankasaurus Rex to family, friends, and co-workers.
Anxiety and stress are physical and emotional responses to perceived dangers (that aren’t always real). And since most of us aren’t running from tigers or hunting and gathering in the woods, it’s often the little things that put us over the edge: an over-loaded email inbox, morning rush hour, or losing those keys before running out the door. Luckily, it’s easy to beat this kind of stress with just a few easy changes added throughout the day.

LTC Stephen F. #8! My elder son had brain surgery for an ‘brain abscess’ in 2004. When we were able to see him the next morning in ‘recovery’, the dry erase board had a ‘life plan’ depicting how the night nurse could advance her life and enhance her educational experiences. (He was ‘educated and caring’).

Thanks for posting COL Mikel J. Burroughs [I have added my thoughts in brackets]
1. Get enough sleep. [much easier said than done but very valuable.]
2. Smile. [benefits yourself and most of teh people you come in contact with. Genuine smiles are good while forces smiles are not. Each Sunday IO greet hundreds with a smile at church where I serve as an usher - I have seen many people go from sadness or apathy to a warm smile in response
3. De-clutter the brain. [spend less time on your smart phone, watching TV and getting information form the web. Smend more time in conversation with friends and family members and read a good book]
4. Express gratitude. [Thankfulness is good and aligns well with the God's word. Thank God and thank people whenever you can - don't do it to attract attention to yourself but to bless other people.]
5. Eat right. [Much easier said than done unless you live on a self sufficient farm.]
6. Learn to breathe. [Made great sense after my lings were flooded following mitral-valve repair surgery]
7. Meditate. [Meditate on something makes good sense. Meditating on the scriptures is great. clearing your mind to focus on nothing is not.]
8. Create a vision board. [this may help many]
9. Play around. [playing with children, pets and your spouse is good for you and those you play with.]
10. Be silent. [you learn much more by listening than by speaking.]
11. Worry. [think through is much better way of describing working through alternative scenarios and their ramifications.]
12. Plan ahead. [plan out what you intend or would like to do. I always submit my plans for the day to the Lord and have learned to be flexible.]
13. Visualize anything positive. [focus on the Lord and his word and what he has done for you over the years.]
14. Smell something relaxing. [he smell of cookies, bread baking, coffee brewing, a fire in the fireplace with the flue open, clothes coming out of the dryer, and so many other things which are inexpensive and readily available can bring pleasure to us.]
15 Hang out. [relaxing with family and friends in genuine conversation is great and soothing as well.]
