Calming Anxiety by Reducing It to Concern 0
Anxiety is heightened fear. Anxiety can grab your brain and make it spin. It is painful and it gets in the way of you dealing logically with whatever created the anxiety.
Some people try to avoid anxiety by going to an oblivious or numb place. They pretend there's no problem. Pretending there's no problem isn't going to solve the problem either.
Spinning won't make the problem go away and pretending there's no problem won't make the problem go away. The solution lies in between these two: concern.
Concern allows you to calmly examine the problem and deal with it.

What is a Normal Sleep Pattern? What is Insomnia? 0
Do you wonder whether your sleep pattern is considered normal? I used to think that healthy sleep meant that you fall asleep a few minutes after your head hits the pillow and you stay asleep until the next morning. I used to be wrong.
My understanding of what healthy sleep looks like expanded when I met a sleep specialist counselor and then again when I took a class on helping clients overcome insomnia naturally.
I'll pass on my learning about what healthy sleep patterns look like and what insomnia looks like in this post.
