Tips against water retention.

Tips to reduce water retention (in case one has no medical condition that causes it or has caused it):

1. Drink plenty of water. Most probably your body has retained water because it’s lacking in it. You are not consuming enough water.
2. Do not take much of carbs and no sugar whole day. Milk and fruits also have high sugar content. Avoid them as well.
3. Cut on salt to the minimal. Sodium retains water.
4. Drink green tea, about 3 times after an interval of 4 hours each time.
5. Take proper sleep of 8 hours but do not sleep overly.
6. Move your body without stressing it out. It will really help to move all that stuck fluid and flush it out of your lymphatic nodules.
7. Remove all the sources of stress. Stress causes a lot of water retention that people usually ignore.
8. Do not drink coffee in any form to reduce bloating. The reason behind saying this is that, although coffee is a good diuretic but it also induces anxiety which in turn adds to the stress level and thus increases cortisol level of your body, and when cortisol level increases, it signals the brain to store water.
9. Cool down your body. Overly heated body for any reason, stores water as well.
10. Last but not the least, it may be because of a particular period of your menstruation cycle. Just let it pass or adopt the above mentioned ways. Have proper rest.

I hope it may help someone some day.. ❤💫

Anxiety can be a stuck energy in body. How to tackle with it? (Personal experience)

I want to tell you something about anxiety. Anxiety is stuck in my backbone like it’s my life force and I won’t deny that I have to make movements like a snake or twirk or get patted on my back to shirk off that energy, or I can’t live peacefully for even an hour. Either it acts up in holding me in a loop of doing everything too fast and then in eruption of cranky mood, or I can’t do anything because of it feeling paralysed with over-thinking.

Does anything new happens that creates anxiety?? Yes, sometimes. But sometimes, it’s our old energy stuck inside of us that demands release whereas sometimes, it’s our neural pattern that creates similar anxiety in similar situations we face in the present, and sometimes, it’s our thoughts for the future that invite that energy to the fore because we had suppressed those thoughts about the future in the past and now we have to face them.

So, what can we do about it??

1. MOVE: yeah..Move your body, baby. (😜) any way you can. Play, dance, exercise,etc.

2. WRITE/SPEAK: Write or speak whatever thoughts come to your mind. Just blurt them out. Journal/record audio. After some time, read or listen to them and analyse which thoughts are too repetitive and what are their reasons.

3. GET A MASSAGE: Get a good deep tissue massage to release all that tense energy from your body, so that you don’t have to move like a snake randomly while trying to sleep (😌).

4. HYDRATION/PROPER NUTRITION: Last but not the least, have enough of fluids intake. Eat less sugar and salt. Take your nutrition supplements. Eat balanced diet.

5. RELAX: I just mean DO. NOT. RUSH. about anything. Plan and act on it but do not rush feeling like nothing went right if one out of ten things that you planned to do within a specified time gets a little delayed (One of the main reasons of my anxiety 🙄). Don’t be a control freak even if you want to be the controller of your own life only.

6. LET YOURSELF HEAL: Generally, when you are healing from something (be it anything), anxiety acts up over and over again, no matter how much you have advanced in healing. It’s OK. Nothing is wrong with you, it’s quite normal. Give yourself time, healing is always a long journey, and do try to follow above-mentioned points.
