Over the years, we have seen many groomers crippled with anxiety or overwhelmed with stress. Fortunately, we have many community platforms to help with this. Lifeline, Beyond Blue, Headspace, just to name a few. Many groomers will often take home conflict from a staff member or client. We also deal with difficult welfare situations and a host of other daily stresses. This stress can manifest in our bodies, and we need to give this stress the opportunity to leave our bodies. So, what can we do to slow down or stop the anxiety monster from entering our territory? We can eat well, drink water regularly, keep good sleeping patterns and exercise. But what happens when this is not enough? We can do all the above, as well as: Light a candle Listen to music Reduce our caffeine intake Write down what is on our minds in order to gain clarity Spend time with friends Laugh Take a supplement Talk to health professionals Practise mindfulness Take a Yoga class Learn to say no Breath, or Cuddle our doggies! Any combination of the above (see below ♥)
