Panic attacks and Anxiety

            Hello Everyone!! I'm sorry I have been away recently; I dropped my computer and smashed the screen! *moment of silence* This post is very personal for me and and also very hard to talk about. I hope that whoever reads this post benefits from this and if any of you can relate or have any advice do let me know:)

Pretend you are walking down the street through a crowd of people and you feel fine and dandy as you stroll along minding your own business. Then the crowd starts to get a bit thicker and your heart starts racing; you look around you frantically looking for a way out but you sen none. Heart beats faster and your chest feels tight, almost like there is a hand squeezing every breath out of you, the sounds you hear becomes muted and people are tarting to look at you funny. You shove your way through the crowd and race to the nearest public restroom where you lock yourself in a stall and try to breath deeply. After about 5 minuets you feel a bit more normal and you continue about your day very cautious and scared that another episode might happen again.

This is what its like to have a panic attack, for the longest time I would have these episodes on a daily basis and I had no clue what the hell was wrong with me; they just got worse and worse until I told my mom about them and she told me that they were panic attacks. They are caused by the body's natural "fight or flight" response when your body feels threatened.

most of the time you don't need to fight or fly you just need to relax and tell yourself that nothing is happening to you and nothing will happen to you, I know easier said then done but eventually it will get better I promise. Deep breaths and positive thinking will make a world of a difference. I also recommend talking to a doctor or a friend, family member etc. but I don't necessary recommend taking any medication; because medication is a quick fix and can only help you for so long.

Panic attacks are a very normal thing and 60% of Americans have anxiety, so you are not alone at all and you are perfectly normal. Don't let your anxiety stop you from doing the things that you want to do; after all you only get one life so live it well.

I hope you all enjoyed this and if you did then comment and let me know how you deal with anxiety or panic attacks and if this post helped, talk to you soon:)

5 Reasons To Love Yourself

 

I don't know about you, but lately I have been feeling a bit down about myself. I know lots of people (boys included) feel this way a lot, and not to worry! it's completely normal. Now I am no goddess of confidence myself so I thought that this post might be helpful for all of us:) 

1) Sit straighter.

I know, not a very hard thing to do, but sometimes when I find myself slouched in a corner I feel a bit sloppy and invisible. It is amazing what a simple straightening of the spine can do for the confidence level. 

2) A good pair of shoes

I'm sure we have all heard the quote "Give a woman the right pair of shoes and she can take over the world" and I have to agree 100% When I'm feeling a bit drab, I pull out the combat boots and instantly feel a bit more powerful and ready for the day. 

3) outfit on point

Come on we all have that one outfit that makes us feel gorgeous and chic. weather that be a kick butt dress or even just a edgy leather jacket, if you like it wear it. 

4) healthy foods

Sometimes when im feeling a bit down it's because I'm not eating the fruits and veggies I should be. If you're feeling a bit tired and groggy a fruit smoothie can sometimes be the perfect pick me up.

5) Pamper evening

Last but not least, the most amazing thing ever envented and sure to boost you're confidence is the glorious pamper evening. Just run a hot bath, drop a bath bomb in there, light a few candles and relax. this is a sure fix to boost your confidence to 110%. 

I hope this was helpful for any of you that might be feeling a bit down and if there is anything that makes you feel better or that you just love doing to keep the confidence level up do let me know. 
Love,

A Refreshing New Year

I know I know, yet ANOTHER new year post about bettering yourself and "finding the true you" (sarcasm intended) BUT! in truth the new year is a very wonderful thing. It is natures way of giving us a fresh start saying "I'm giving you another chance ungrateful human, don't mess it up!" But in reality.... we royally screw it up.

I am determined to not screw up my year, I want to be able to say at the end of 2015 that I lived my year well. Resolutions are also a wonderful (fleeting) thing., they give you a goal to work towards and run after (figuratively of course...I mean really? who runs??) Personally I love a challenge and to me that's what a resolution is, A challenge to better yourself.

This year I plan to better myself by taking care of my body (i.e. eating right and taking care of my complexion) This (to me) is so important because if you take good care of yourself then people are going to see that, If you put good whole foods in you then they are going to shine through you (shine bright like a diamond) and come on, who doesn't want glowing skin? 

All in all the new year is an amazing thing, so take advantage of it and be productive. If there is anything that you think is essential new year let me know in the comments:) 

Have an amazing new year and a lovely day!:)

Monday, Monday

The brain is a wonderful thing, It can calculate numbers, store information, create an image entirely from scratch in an instant, and send messages to your body parts telling them what to do in a matter of milliseconds. The brain is amazing, but sometimes it can become a bit cluttered. 

 

I don't know about you but I'm an over thinker, It is so easy for me to clutter my little brain up with worry about people and just stupid little things that my brain feels like its going on overload! This year I'm taking a step back and if you can relate to what I;m saying then you should try it too:) 

Take a step away from the drama and chaos, You do not have to be involved with everything, turn down some people that stress you out (I'm not saying be a d*ck but be nice about it) or go for walks and enjoy the amazing life around you, take deep breaths and feel comfortable in your skin, treat yourself right.

Life is short an energy is precious so don't waste it on things that are not worth your precious time:)

I hope this was a good motivational Monday. If you can relate to this post comment and let me know how you deal with a cluttered brain. 

Have a magical Monday:)
