Today Alexa and I worked through eight strategies for relieving stress and anxiety. The first recommendation is to get enough sleep -- 8 hours. We discussed the problems around actually being able to do this, and the importance of finding a way to do it! The next idea is to exercise consistently. We simply acknowledged this. Then there was the recommendation for guided visualization. We weren't sure what that was exactly, so we found an example that walked you through actually doing it on youtube! Alexa said that she could do it by following the words spoken. By this time we were very relaxed! (: The other strategies involved tension and release, and breathing. We did try the breathing exercises with visualization. Alexa said that she felt better at the end of our hour!
