Anxiety
Grief and Loss
- Terri Newman
Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something that is important to us. The loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, a divorce or significant break-up. A significant change in one’s health, the loss of a pet, a miscarriage, or the end of an important friendship or a major move. Loss is experienced during any major change in our life.
We All Need Sleep
- Terri Newman
We all need sleep to rejuvenate our brains and our body. For the brain it’s all about memory consolidation, creativity, detoxification, mood re-orientation and processing our emotions. For our body it’s all about rejuvenation and growth. As humans, we are unique, being the only animal that sleeps in 7-to-8-hour blocks.
Defining Anxiety
- Terri Newman
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. This places anxiety in the realm of negative thoughts and feelings. Everyone will feel anxious at some point in their life, when sitting an exam, when having a medical procedure, going out on a date, or attending a job interview.
