 What's up Psych2Go viewers? It's Donna. Today we partnered up with Motivational Tattoos to bring you today's video about tips in dealing with stress and anxiety. So if you're a longtime subscriber here at Psych2Go, you know how much content we've created for tips on dealing with anxiety and stress. Okay, so it's really easy to watch a video and feel like you're ready to implement these tips in real life and when the moment happens, it's way harder than you thought. I know that's true for me personally. My mind goes blank and I sometimes completely forget what to do. The first tip is instead of relying on yourself, have a physical reminder. Motivational Tattoos came up with this really awesome idea. I think these tattoos are so awesome. They are temporary tattoos which have uplifting reminders on them and I'm wearing one right now. I think these tattoos are so amazing and serving as reminders because you have like a physical representation of whatever you're going through. Right now I have one that says onwards and upwards. I have a cold, so I kind of had trouble getting motivated. Come on Donna, you can do it. Another cool one they have is this one and it says this too shall pass. That's a really cool reminder as well. It's like you've been through hard times before and you're going through a hard time right now and one thing you have in common about going through this hard times is you've gotten over it and you've made it. So the hard time that you're dealing with now, you can again get over that. Tip number two is slow breathing. Another cool thing that comes with these tattoos are these instructional deep breathing exercises. It's called the four seven eight breathing technique. So let's rewind back to ancient human days when we were all cavemen. Back then what we're likely to have stress and anxiety over is being attacked by a wild animal. Your heart rate goes up, your breathing quickens, and so fast forward to right now. We're not likely to be stressed out about a wild animal attacking us, but we still do feel stress and anxiety. Sometimes we know the reasons why, sometimes we don't. But research has shown if you try to control your breathing, take slower breaths, your mind actually gets much calm. How this works is you inhale for a count of four, you hold your breath for seven, and then you exhale for a count of eight. So we're gonna do three sets of these and let's see if we feel way calmer at the end of it. All right, ready? I don't know about you, but I feel way calmer after doing that. Such a great idea to have physical reminders and breathing exercises with these tattoos. Great idea. And I know you guys are gonna appreciate this too.
