Lately, I’ve been feeling way more anxious and overwhelmed than usual, like even just scrolling through the news or social media feels like too much. I know I’m not alone in this, but I’d love to hear from those of you who deal with anxiety more often. What do you do to manage these feelings? Besides just turning off the news, what actually helps?

Tight! No news and a lot of prayer. I also have an inner circle of teachers that I talk to. We support each other.

I rarely watch main stream news. I usually watch the local news, but that's mainly it.

It’s tough out there. I’ve started focusing on what I can control - reading uplifting books, watching feel-good shows, and spending time with people who make me laugh.

Journaling helps me express all the emotions, fears, worries, and random thoughts. I find it to be so helpful! I also practice finding things to be grateful for each and every day and try to find one way to perform a random act of kindness each day, whether it is paying for the person’s coffee behind me in line, letting a stressed mom go ahead of me in the checkout line at the supermarket, or stopping in the hallway at work to help someone else- it makes me get out of my head to do something for someone else. Lastly, Yoga. Also something I make time for several times a week. I just use calming yoga videos on YouTube to help me calm down and relax. It really helps. Good luck and I hope you find what works for you soon!

Anxiety meds and talk therapy have saved my life! I was feeling a lot of anxiety from burnout from teaching - I have a little set of things I do after school when I get home every single day that helps me switch my mindset from school to home. I no longer take any work home - school stays at school and home things stay at home.

I’m feeling quite anxious about the state of the world and the news is just horrifying to me lately. I’ve been taking a little breather from that and jumped right into a ton of romantasy series. ACOTAR, fourth wing, spark of the ever flame, a court this cruel and lovely, throne of glass, crescent city etc! I love to just dive into a good series and fantasize about having magic and shadow daddies lol.

I’ve hit a plateau on the keto diet (no weight loss in 3 months). So in addition to walking 5 miles a day (been doing this since month 2), on Sunday I started a Beachbody HIIT workout with weights (21 day fix real time). It’s 30 min workout daily and I’m two workouts in and I can barely move. Also, the muscle cramps are for real! Drinking about 80 ounces of water a day and I soaked in an Epsom salt bath last night, any other tips?
