Replay: Life With Anxiety and OCD and Tools to Help.

Rebroadcast of my top downloaded and listened to episode: I almost deleted this one a few times. I don't like to talk about myself so I am very humbled that so many people have listened. Thank you all so much! In this episode I talk about what it is like having anxiety and OCD. It's the first time I have been so open and honest. I am doing this in hopes to help others and so many have done for me. I think being in the fitness, yoga, and wellness world there is a stigma that we are not supposed to have anxiety, depression, or a mental disorder. But if we become more vocal I think it helps lessen the stigma around it.   So many others have been so open and vocal that it has helped me and I thank them and I hope in turn I am able to help someone too.   Towards the end of the episode I talk about tools to help with mental disorders, first and foremost always talk to your doctor or counselor.  Talk therapy and medication should never be looked down upon and take when needed.  Regular exercise and yoga help, breath work, meditation, journaling, gratitude practice, and reading are some tools that help me.  The book I mention is One Simple Thing. A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life. By Eddie Stern.   ***I am sorry my cold and cough and I hope I edited it well enough to cut out all my coughing attacks.  You can find me on Facebook at Nikki's Yoga and Wellness  Instagram - www.instagram.com/fitfunandfrazzled  and www.instagram.com/nikkilanigan.yogaandwellness Website - www.nikkiyogaandwellness.com  YouTube - Nikki Lanigan Yoga & Wellness
