The breathing technique is supposed to make ourself living in the present which could drive away those invasive unwanted thoughts.
Past things could make us depressed and future things could make us anxiety.
That's why living completely in present matters.
That is true. But given my anxiety has also been effecting my health as well as me getting on in my years that the capacity I had as a child-teen is no longer holding up... I'm thinking, as a New Year's resolution, to get a gym membership and attempt to properly lose weight and shape up my body.
Normally, I don't care over the fact I am fat. I'm comfortable in my body and I rather eat and do what I want than let diet and exercise dictate my life.
But, it feels like every month, my anxiety is slowly becoming more of the dictator of my life. I feel genuinely helpless about it when it comes to invasive thoughts, unnecessary worrying and how it affects my health, such as morning nausea and bouts of adrenalin. I'll be thirty-eight next month, but what will my future state be like when I eventually reach the big four-oh?
So I'm hoping if I can strive for a healthier body, in return, I will have a healthier mind where anxiety has little to no foothold over me.
Not only that, but while I am comfortable with my way of life, I also find it rather stale, repetitive and not as mentally stimulating. It's probably why I've gone off video games for the last few years of my life. I'm hoping a gym membership and change of pace will improve me mentally.
