Wagaliciousness Begins Here!

Are you addicted to the news? Mom sometimes calls me Bad News, so maybe she’s addicted to me!

Some people are addicted to the news – they listen all the time and worry about what they hear. There’s a difference between being informed and being marinated in the drumbeat of bad news. You can check your favorite news outlet while brushing your teeth in the morning, get caught up, and move on with your day. Keep news reports in perspective – remember, by definition, news is something abnormal that happens. Most of the world is blissfully normal – marinate yourself in the good things in your life, not the news.

Did you know that the way you breathe might be making you anxious? When I pant it cools me down – when humans pant, their brain thinks something is wrong. When humans are stressed they take shallow, fast breaths and that tells the primitive part of their brain that it’s time to fire up the fight or flight engine. The brain fires up the chemical factory, flooding the body with stress hormones, causing more fear and anxiety. Pay attention to how you breathe and when you find yourself just breathing into the top of your lungs, take two minutes to breathe long, slow, deep breaths that poke your belly way out. It’ll put the primitive part of your brain out of your misery.
