A Natural Anxiety Remedy You Haven’t Thought Of!

Feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or any other negative feeling?

First: click here for my 4 Natural Anxiety Remedies.

Next: try grounding!

It’s like meditating, but easier.

I try to do this once a day, in addition to meditating once a day.

NOTE: Grounding and meditation don’t have to be religious–they are simply helpful tools for a happy life!

So, how do you ground yourself?

Just go outside and stand, sit, or lay down on the ground.

You can also lean against a tree๐ŸŒฒ or sit at the base of the tree.

When it gets too coldโ„๏ธ, you can still ground yourself indoors.๐Ÿก

There is no wrong way to ground yourself.

You can imagine roots coming out of your body and into the earth.

You can pray or say a mantra.

Or, just enjoy nature.

Look at the trees…๐ŸŒณ

Flowers…๐ŸŒท

Grass…๐ŸŒพ

and the sky.๐ŸŒˆ 

Appreciate the beauty of nature around you.๐ŸŒ„

Most importantly “ground” yourself to nature. Feel a connection to the earth and the nature around you.

I know it sounds weird, crazy, and a little out there, but trust me! You should feel more calm and positive.

๐ŸŒŒAlso, ground yourself to the earth via the lunar cycle.๐ŸŒ’๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ˜

๐ŸŒšGround yourself while the moon is new, and when it’s full. Sometimes seeing the beauty of the moon is calming in itself.๐ŸŒ

Just try grounding once, I dare you! Let me know how it goes!

Writing Tips Wednesday: Something To Help You WRITE!

Hey there! Thanksโœจ for visiting Happy Healthy Noms for the monthly installment Writing Tips Wednesday!๐Ÿ““

This week I have a writing tip from me, a writing quote from a famous author, and a writing resource, and a bonus tidbit!

Have you thought about where you write

Do you have a special writing spot?

Sometimes having a designated writing place can help spark your creativity!

This space can be in your house–which I have.

Or, it can be outside of your house such as Starbucks, a library, your backyard, anywhere!

Recently, I set up a dedicated reading and writing area in my room! 

  

I have found that I can write better when I am comfortable, thus the big comfy chair and my snuggie.

Around my big comfy chair, I added positive quotes for motivation, and books for inspiration.

I also added cute or interesting stuff so that it’s not too serious!

  
Finally, great lighting is important, so I found a lamp that I like.

Having a dedicated spot helps me focus, and the amenities I put near me keeps me motivated.

๐Ÿ™ŒLet me know what your new or usual writing spot is!

โญ๏ธThis week’s writing quote:  (Image made by me, using QuotesCreator)

 I know, another Stephen King quote, but this man knows how to write. I mean besides being a best-selling author, he writes more than anyone I’ve heard of.

It is said that he writes every day, even on his birthday and Christmas!

๐Ÿ‘‰This week’s writing resource:

Read a book or start reading a book that’s in the genre that you write in (or want to write in.)

You’ll be surprised how fast that the ideas for your book will start flowing

What book I’m currently reading: Obsidian Butterfly by: Laurell K. Hamilton

It’s the 9th book of my favorite series: Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter! The first book is Guilty Pleasures.

This series is so great. Anita’s famous quote is, “I don’t date vampires, I stake them.”

The books have the perfect amount of mystery, action, and romance!

Until next time, remember: read๐Ÿ“– and writeโœ๏ธ every day!
