DEPRESSION & STRESS PACK

Make up your own stress / depression kit for unforeseen moments...

There are some things I did when I got nervous or depressed, the reason being it DIVERTED my attention from negative thoughts and they are...

  • Lavender Oil - Tension Headaches (Discussed Under - In The Beginning)
  • Meditation CD / Music (Discussed Under - In the Beginning)
  • Collection of music on CD's, iPod or Tape (Discussed Under - Depressed / Nervous??? Mix it up...)
  • Journals (Discussed Under - Journaling - A MUST READ)
  • Water (Discussed Under - Nutrition Matters)
  • Get a game, I am not talking about buying the latest of games, it could be anything from a cheap $5 game you get at a local discount store to the latest Nintendo / PSP or PlayStation game. I find that the small compact games are best so you don't need a television or computer in order to play them, you can do this wherever you are! Play it when you're anxious / depressed, what you are wanting to do it take your mind off of your current thoughts so you can move forward OR come back to the issue (if there is one to deal with) at a later time!
  • Crosswords & Magazines are a good mind-consumer also!
  • Make a list of your favourite websites which make you FEEL GOOD when you go to them!

The aim of the game here is to take your mind off of the problem and divert your attention, so, anything goes here! Whatever makes you feel good, add it to your Stress Pack & keep it on-hand:)

LOVE
