Can Mantras Help You Quiet Anxiety, Beat Self-Doubt And Manage Stress?

Description

Habit Changers is a book full of one-liner mantras that are "meant to help you reprogram your brain" to help eliminate worry, doubt, and stress. The book is inspired by Lojong, a Tibetan Buddhist mind training practice. M.J. Ryan, the author of Habit Changers, has been using mantras with her clients "to interrupt the habitual thought processes that hold them back." In her book, Ryan writes that the mantras "help you become consciously aware of what you're doing—and serve as a reminder of what it is that you want to do."

  • Study: Stress Hormone Can Re-Trigger Cancer, Even After Treatment

    A new study has identified a link between stress hormones and the recurrence of cancer. UPI reports the findings may explain why cancers can return long after seemingly being cured with chemotherapy or surgery. The study showed stress hormones and immune cells called neutrophils may awaken dormant cancer cells and cause tumors to regrow -- even after treatment -- according to a study published Wednesday by Science Translational Medicine. Tumor recurrence may be facilitated by common stress. Study co-author Dr. Dmitry Gabrilovich Chief Scientist, AstraZeneca Stress hormones such as cortisol have been linked with an increased risk for a number of health problems. Elevated levels of these hormones can increase a person's heart rate and lead to rises in blood pressure. Because of this, it can lead to insomnia, robbing the body of needed sleep, and mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.

  • Pandemic Survival Guide: How To Deal When Work Is Grinding You Into Dust

    When work is overwhelming, it's tempting to berate yourself for not getting more done when you're off the clock. But according to Business Insider, psychotherapist Amy Morin says for many people, the secret to happiness isn't doing more--it's simplifying, and doing less. To give yourself the rest and peace you need to deal with a demanding job, start by decluttering your calendar, your obligations, and your environment. Cease unnecessary activities that sap your physical or emotional strength. Declutter your home so it's easy to find things, and fix or replace what's broken.

  • Unsurprisingly, Dentists Say More And More Patients Are Grinding Their Teeth

    Formally known as bruxism, teeth grinding and clenching isn't uncommon.

Your dentist can also create a custom mouth guard to wear at night. However, it's important to get to the bottom of what's making you so tense or anxious.

  • If Your Introverted Child Is Struggling With Remote Learning, Take This First Step

    Just because remote learning is widely in use across the US, that doesn't mean it's easy for children--or their parents. HuffPost reports introverted students face even more challenges with remote learning besides nabbing a strong wifi signal. If you find your child is holding back in class--or avoiding classes altogether--experts say it's best to start by gently asking them what's going on. Perhaps they're worried about what their peers think of the home, or by how they look on camera, or that they can't get to grips with the software. Remind them that backgrounds can be tidied, hair can be cut, seating and lighting can be improved, and software tutorials can be worked through. Whatever the problem, work to reassure the child that such feelings are normal and that there are solutions to every problem.
