The rub is that anxiety can tend to show up biggest when brains and bodies are meant to be still. The part of the brain most sensitive to a lack of sleep is the amygdala. One of the most important things for anxiety is sleep. The brain and the body exist together, so when we move to strengthen against anxiety, we have to make sure we include the body.

This first appeared as one of the chapters in Best Knickers Always: 50 Lessons for Midlife What’s the smallest possible step you could take to believe in your own courage? Courage is trusting that all will be wellĭo you see? We are ALL courageous in our own way.Courage is continuing through adversity. Courage is believing in oneself for the first time.Courage is burning our boats and never going back.Courage is standing up for something we believe in.Courage is admitting we can’t cope alone.Courage is knowing when to say ‘enough’.I was asked one day by a friend, “how to you do it? I just don’t have your courage.” I thought about it when I got home, I didn’t see myself as particularly courageous, but it got me thinking about the meaning of courage and what it meant to me and I wrote down these thoughts in my journal: We are all courageous, I am no different to you. (I’ve also been called naive, foolish and crazy!) I want to put the record straight. I’ve been called courageous, resilient and brave many times in my life. Sometimes courage is the silent voice at the end of the day that says ‘I will try again tomorrow’.” I’ve kept the quote by Mary Anne Radmacher close to my heart, “Courage doesn’t always roar. So let us find that same passion and courage for ourselves, trusting that whatever our circumstances are right now (and regardless of whether we feel courageous), we can find a valuable seam of courage if we dig just below the surface. When we feel deeply passionate about something, we find courage easily - for example we find superhuman strength to protect our children. We show courage on a daily basis because our lives and the lives of those we love matter to us. Courage isn’t about being a battle-ready soldier some days there is courage in saying, “tomorrow is another day”. Backed by towering hills,a sky of palest Gobelin flecked with fat, fleecy little clouds, it in truth looked a dear little city the city of one's dreams.We take so much of our strength and resilience for granted. I had seen similar ones fired-in on many a Heidelberg stein. *:So this was my future home, I thought! Certainly it made a brave picture.*:Frog and lizard in holiday coats / And turtle brave in his golden spots.In silks I'll rattle it of every color.
