Tamar Chansky, Ph.D., a psychologist article from WebMD   Stay in your time zone Anxiety is a future-oriented state of mind. So instead of worrying about what’s going to happen, “reel yourself back to the present.   Follow the 3-3-3 rule Look around you and name three things you see. Then, name three sounds you hear. Finally, move three parts of your body -- your ankle, fingers, or arm. Whenever you feel your brain going 100 miles per hour, this mental trick can help center your mind, bringing you back to the present moment   Relabel what’s happening Panic attacks can often make you feel like you’re dying or having a heart attack. Remind yourself: “I’m having a panic attack, but it’s harmless, it’s temporary, and there’s nothing I need to do,” Plus, keep in mind it really is the opposite of a sign of impending death -- your body is activating its fight-or-flight response, the system that’s going to keep you alive,   Breathe in and out Deep breathing helps you calm down. While you may have heard about specific breathing exercises, you don’t need to worry about counting out a certain number of breaths, Chansky says. Instead just focus on evenly inhaling and exhaling. This will help slow down and re-center your mind

Relationship Comfort Featuring Sheree Hunter - This episode explores the challenges when we become too comfortable within our close relationships.  The closer we are to others we often get very comfortable within those relationships and we begin to take them for granite that they will always be there.  Even when we lose respect, care, attention to detail, honor our promises, say thank you and please, we still think they will be there.  It is a form of entitlement that ultimately crashes our important close relationships.   This concept was born from our JessTalkisms.  A JessTalkism is a new or unique way of looking at important or interesting matters.
