The item of interest that I chose was a website on
anxiety and stress. The website is www.sound-mind.org. This site was designed to educate and
encourage those who are currently suffering from stress and stress-related
disorders such as anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, obsessive thinking as
well as those who might be suffering from mild to moderate depression. The website was created by Susan who shares
her story of struggle with anxiety.
This
website has a lot of free resources that can help anyone, and I have used some
of the resources to help high school students with anxiety and stress. One of the main items on the website I have
used is the self-talk for stress mp3s.
This guides you thru self-talk to help in reducing stress.
These
are the steps she recommends to follow. Whether you suffer with chronic stress,
anxiety, obsessive scary thoughts, phobias, or depression, you will be able to
build your own self-help plan using the unique steps. Step
1: Understanding it all. Learn
your options. It's time to make some real choices for yourself. Step 2: Get in touch with yourself and your
self-talk. Step
3: Exercise is important and
necessary. Learning to bring exercise into your daily routine. Step
4:Changing bad eating habits
to good eating habits. What you eat makes a big difference in how you feel. Step 5:Time to take your self-talk for a walk. Putting new thoughts into action using CBT
Techniques. Step 6:Keeping Stress Management in your daily
routine. Step 7:Encourage others and you encourage
yourself. Step 8:Keeping Realistic Expectations. Giving
up is never an option.
Take a look at the site an see what things you can use
with your high school students, colleagues, family and friends. She also has in the site a blog, articles,
worksheets, alternative medicine options and many other helpful things.
