Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn how to handle stress the best we can. Too much stress can turn into anxiety, and anxiety often affects both our minds and our bodies. When anxiety affects our minds we can easily get wrapped up in worry and fear. It can affect our bodies with such things as panic attacks, headaches, and insomnia. When any of this happens we go see a doctor. We need take this precaution. It’s a necessity. Most of us find anxiety will pass if it is situational. We learn to deal with situational anxiety and become better equipped to do so. Perhaps our doctor has given us medication to help us be healthy. We might also have to make positive changes in our lives. Some of us deal with stress just by living one day at a time and having someone to talk over our difficulties with. Some of us simply need a break. One of our realities is we need to feel safe. Sometimes we just need to breathe. Some pray – some meditate. Some of us meet in groups and some of us need therapy. Reach out and be healthy. Peace.
