If you have been following me for a while, you know that my sister, Christa, passed away this past October after a very short battle with cancer. Since then, I have struggled with some anxiety and tightness in my chest. Today, I am sharing a few things that I do that help manage my anxiety. The biggest thing that helps is getting outside. I am sharing a few of my most beloved pieces from Backcountry that help me stay warm and comfortable during the cold months!

1. Listen to an inspiring podcast or meditation music.

One of the great things about working from home is that you can work whenever you want, but the bad thing about working from home is that you can work whenever you want. When I don’t take breaks throughout my day, my anxiety and tightness in my chest always get worse. Most days, I set the timer on my phone to remind myself to take a break. I bust out a warm jacket, throw on some leggings and sneakers, pop in my ear buds, and head outside. Taking a few moments when I don’t worry about work, laundry, cooking, and more, is one of the ways I am able to relax more.

This fleece is the absolute softest thing! It is currently on sale PLUS an extra 20% off when added to your cart! You can pick it up for around $20 (Reg. $65)! There are several other color choices as well!

These sneakers are my absolute favorites for walking! And while I am not much of a runner, I have heard they are great for running too!

Fit Tip: Everything is true to size. Wearing a small in the jacket. Leggings and top linked are similar items.

2. Get outside and get moving.

Yep! Some days I would rather just stay in bed or on the couch curled up under a blanket. But I never, ever regret getting outside and moving. Creating more endorphins always helps improve my mood.

This reversible jacket is a new favorite of mine! I love that it is long enough to wear with leggings and cover my bum! This side puts the cozy fleece on the inside. Whether you are heading outside for a walk or heading out on some errands, this chic look easily works for both! Plus, my jacket is now 45% off!

Fit Tip: Size down if in between in the shoes. Everything else is true to size. Wearing a small in the jacket and leggings. Top linked is a similar one.

3. Take ten deep breaths.

There are so many benefits of deep breathing – decreases stress, increases energy, relieves pain, improves immunity, and more! Getting fresh air in my lungs is another way I have found helps with my anxiety and tightness in my chest.

I love this side of the jacket too! Plenty of pockets for holding your phone, gloves, and anything else! It is currently 45% off making it a steal! And this beanie is incredibly soft and lightweight! I love that it is not itchy at all!

I have been a HUGE fan of adidas shoes for several years because of their amazing comfort! These shoes are now 30% off too!

Fit Tip: Size down if in between in the shoes. Everything else is true to size. Wearing a small in the jacket and leggings. Top linked is a similar one.
