My anxiety stops me from doing practical things that need to be done because I am always afraid of the consequences or the things I might hear or the feelings I might have. This leads to a lot of anxiety from the pending work or tasks.
Today I am going to make it a day of tackling all these tasks head on. Making a list of all that I need to do and then just doing them without any feelings or thought of what I do not know and have no control over.
Its difficult to eat healthy and take care of our diets when we are going through stresses and anxiety. The body craves for fats because it has dopaminergic effect which makes us feel good. However this effect is short lived and harms the mind and body in the long run.
For the next 60 days I will particularly focus on healthy eating not just for the body but also the mind. This means going cold turkey on all junk foods and concentrating on nutrient rich, protein rich and carb rich foods (rice and bread)
If the cravings get too bad then I would give myself one day per week to satisfy my craving.
After 15 years of struggling with OCD and anxiety, I have come to a point in my life where at the age of 32 I have hit rock bottom. With no job which I had initially left to be with my husband, marriage on the rocks, roof that I was likely to loose and 10kgs of additional fat on my body and struggling with a lot of anxiety and OCD thoughts life has never been this tough.
3 days after my 32nd birthday and hearing about everything I have been doing wrong, I have come to the feeling and thinking that nobody except I can rescue my life.
60 days towards a better life, one change per day for 60 days. I will be writing about my journey each day on this blog. Hopefully you will read and help me with my endeavor.
No nonsense, nothing fancy, just one change per day towards the glimpse of light
60 days to a better mental health
