Yes I have been thinking about a plan of action to fight the urge. So far I tend to do deep breathing for 5 minutes to fight the urge and it passes and if it doesn’t then meditate for 15 min. During the day if the urge is there, I go out to have a walk or exercise for 15 min. If you have any more suggestions for plan of action, please share. I couldn’t sleep and felt the urge so I came here instead and found your message.
I’d simplify it to just deep breathing, and meditating afterward if needed.
I used to go on walks in response to urges, bring some music with me to or journal in my memo, but I feel that all can lead to it becoming an avoidance activity.
Do meditation instead. It’s a tried and true method. If however you’re just feeling claustrophobic, do some stretches for like 2 minutes. The loosening up of your body feels so good and is good for you. It relieves tension, anxiety, and stress. Just like sleep. People under-estimate just how much physical activities can affect mental health.
