FIGHT OR FLIGHT
It’s a feeling I’m having .Being in my house is hard right [sign in to see URL] I’m out on porch. And taking walks .
How to deal with the loss of a loved one:
There are any numbers of ways to counteract the flight or fight response and help us get through this scary and unsettling time. Some useful techniques are:
Diaphragmatic breathing: Imagine a string pulling you straight up from your abdomen as you slowly inhale through the nose, and slowly exhale through the mouth.
Biofeedback training: Learn to control involuntary body responses such as heart rate and blood pressure.
Dedicated Worry Time: Set a timer for a specific period of time to worry; when the buzzer sounds, get up and do something positive for yourself.
👍
Regular exercise: Make exercise a priority, especially aerobic exercise or brisk walking, just to get your body moving.
👍
Appreciation of nature: Lie in the sun and feel the warmth, walk among the leaves, make a snowman. 👍
