Start a journal/blog

Whether it is a personal diary for just you or a blog like this, getting your thoughts and feelings out does wonders for your soul.

Take that nap

...and do not feel guilty about it.

Mindfulness books

Read books about your own mental illness as they give you insight into other peoples stories, how they dealt with it, how they overcame it and how to stay on that road to recovery. I have been reading a book called We're All Mad Here by Claire Eastham who is a fellow blogger about her anxiety. I could relate to just about the whole book, she is such a honest writer. She gives advice, tips and shares experiences and situations she has found herself in. Read her inspiring blog here.

Scented Candles

I am obsessed with scented candles! I have them in just about every room of my home, they create a warming atmosphere and sweet smelling fragrance. Perfect in helping you to unwind/distress. When my anxiety is hard to deal I like to make myself a nice hot drink, light some candles and read a book to help me relax.

Herbal Tea

Camomile and Chai tea are my personal favourites. I shop for mine at Marks and Spencers as they are the tastiest and they aren't badly priced either! Lovely to have before bedtime ☺
