ANXIETY.  We all get it, but dealing with it is the hard part.  There are different levels of anxiety.  Some days I can manage it very easily and some days, well, I have a full on anxiety attack.  Which is RARE for me, but ever since becoming a mom, I all the sudden have tons of anxiety.  I used to be fine, or wouldn’t really notice.  Maybe all the stresses in life have all came crashing down after I had him, realizing that I was responsible to create a healthy happy life for him.  It’s a lot right? HAHA Phew.  Okay, so here are 3 simple ways I have learned to deal with my anxiety, that I hope can help you with yours.  These are things that are very easy to do.

  1. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE.   Tell your friends, family you need a break and shutting off your phone for a few hours, or just shut it off!   Get off social media for sure, but texts, emails and all that are a huge distraction and can intensify my anxiety.
  2. HEADSPACE.  Its an app you download to your phone.  He guides you through 10 minutes.  Listen to what he says and do the breathing exercises and you’ll feel so much better.  It truly helps!  Thats another blog post btw that I need to get into.
  3. GET OUTSIDE.  Go for a walk in the fresh air!  Leaving your phone behind.  If its to cold where you live, then head to the gym, or call up a friend who you trust and are close to, and talk with them through it.

MY COFFEE ADDICTION IS REAL GIRL, IT’S REAAL.  If you don’t drink caffeine, GO YOU.  If you’re a coffee lover this one is for you.  I call this my little afternoon treat.   Barista in the house though.  Anytime my friends come over I offer them my lovely frothed heaven drink.   It’s also way less calories than your regular coffee, and little to no sugar.  Very easy to make, so here we go.  First and foremost, if you don’t have a milk steamer, it’s not going to live up to it’s expectation.  You can use a handheld frother, but it’s definitely not warm and foamy like a milk steamer/frother is going to do. BUT, I did find one that heats and froths that you can buy for $16 HERE.   I don’t know how it is because I’ve never used, but it looks good to me!  I use DELONGHI Espresso machine.  I’ve loved it!  

STEP 1: BREW YOUR COFFEE.  So every 1 tbsp coffee, you do 2 cups water.  I usually do 1-1/2 scoops and 3 cups water.  I don’t usually have that much but I like to keep it on hand. I use this Coffee Scooper to measure my coffee.  Then I use Starbuck Dark Roast grinded coffee

STEP 2: MILK MIX:  Add in 1 cup Unsweented Vanilla Almond Milk, 1 tbsp Hazelnut or Vanilla Almond Milk Creamer, 1/2 Syringe of Vanilla Creme Sweet Drops, sprinkle of cinnamon into your Frothing Pitcher.  Stick it under the frother and let it foam up and steam your milk.  I use this Temperature Gadget and stick it in the milk.  It will tell me how hot it’s getting.  I wait until it says 120.  That seems to be the perfect amount.  You can use this Frothing Wand or this Frothing Wand with a steamer.  If you don’t use one that heats it up, heat up your milk mix over stove top, or microwave until heated.  Then froth it with your wand.

STEP 3:  POUR IT IN.  Add in about 1 cup of brewed coffee into a large MUG, about 20oz.  You want to make room for the frothed goodness..  Then add your Milk Mix on top and slowly pour it in.  

THATS IT.  So easy once you have all your gadgets and devices.  I make this probably twice a day.  Helps me dominate all my daily tasks and gets me through that afternoon slump.  I also drink it more as an afternoon treat.  Helps kick the sugar cravings.  

I added my creamer in this GLASS CONTAINER and some goes for my Almond Milk, it makes the fridge look more organized.  I drink my milk pretty quick, so I don’t have to worry about expiration dates.  It’s gone in a week, sometimes just a few days.
