Areas to Release Anxiety

 


When you're feeling anxious, it's important to find ways to soothe both your body and your mind because it can create a lot of physical tension.

Here are a few places on your body to be aware of and release anxiety from…

  1. Neck - you can nod up and down or make slow circles in both directions.
  2. Hands - close your hand into a tight fist and then release by stretching and spreading your fingers.
  3. Jaw - work on opening and closing your mouth, and if it feels comfortable, shift your jaw from side to side.
  4. Stomach - relax your tummy and sway your arms back and forth.
  5. Muscles - become aware of the muscles across your body that may feel tense and slowly relax them.
  6. Chest - cross your hands over your chest and take some deep breaths.

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional.
