Take me to bed with you... for real!!!
And do this simple secret before you go to sleep. Just kidding. Actually, it's so simple you can watch it and then go to bed after, because the blue light from your screen is bad for your sleep (and likely adds anxiety). We Are All Stressed This simple secret is a fantastic antidote for 21st century stress - the stress you feel, your friends feel, your husband/wife/partner feels, your colleagues feel... and sadly almost all of us feel. While it manifests in different ways - anxiety, depression, general stress, even anger - the chronic demands society puts on us, and our inability to create the community we need to counteract those demands, adds up! Hold Your Heart In this simple technique (technique is too complicated(, you literally hold your heart. We all need a bit more nurturing in our lives, and this is a way to give it to yourself. Add a Twist You can really amp up the relaxation by adding a simple twist. Turn your knees to the right and hold your heart; turn your knees to the left and hold your fake heart (right side). Take Me to Bed This is why I tell people to take these videos to bed!!! They are soooooo simple and relaxing and really help you detach from some of the day before you head off to sleep. I totally sucked at self care until I started doing my self care in bed!!! All the things I love to do that make me feel great: journaling, reading, stretching, body wisdom, meditation (I do it laying down), self massage, and other things all happen in bed. And frankly, I really never could get them into my life until I figured this secret out! So while you may not want to actually take your screen to bed (like I said, the light it emits is bad for your sleep), you should take these ideas to bed and give them a try!!! And of course, let me know when you do!!! ​Have a friend who feels anxiety? Be sure to share this video!!!

I also love to hold my belly - a place that I struggled to love after having kids because it was, let's just say "different" than before kids. But I remembered the love I felt for that tummy while I was pregnant, and just channelled it into my post baby belly... and I have actually come to LOVE my belly again!!! I mean really really love and admire it and think it's beautiful!!! The connection of touch is soooooo powerful.
