Hi everyone! It's been a while since I have posted, things have been changing in my life and it is hard to keep up with everything ;)

I started my first nursing job on a heavy medical floor in a hospital. So far I *think* I like it but that is hard to admit. Not used to having a positive in my life and recognizing it. My anxiety has been all over the map, some days I am very good and others not so good. But I think I am leveling out. I just need to stay positive and practice my breathing. Lately whenever I feel anxious/troublesome thoughts enter my mind I tell myself to breathe. I totally switch it over and empty my mind of everything but my breathing. I feel like it really helps. Also I have been doing some positive affirmations, I have some on my ipod and listed to them on my way to work (long drive)

More changes are ahead as I am planning a move soon. This will involve my children switching schools, moving to a new town, and basically starting my life over. I think it sounds nice ;) This old life is getting old and unhappy, a fresh start sounds really great. Maybe that will help with the anxiety too, will keep you posted.

Hugs,
Lisa

Thanks Sheri Ann,

Things are changing pretty quick. It is causing some stress and anxiety but I am doing my breathing and trying to cope.
