Anxiety Self Help

So I got up this morning after having some crazy dreams last night and this morning. I must have been so mentally drained that my mind was going bonkers. It was kind of scary as to the dreams that I was having but I focused on knowing that dreams are dreams and so what if they are bad, I’ll get over it. Nevertheless, I thought about something this morning while lying in bed about how the brain is a muscle and that too much exercise can strain it. I wonder if anxious thoughts strain the brain and or consume it to somewhat like a child hogging a toy so that other cannot play. If so, not cool ;o) then I thought about how “we” tend to think happy thoughts so that our anxious thoughts disappear but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of a tired mind? So, I just came up with a new theory about needing to nap/sleep it off so that when I wake up, I can fill my mind with happy thoughts first so that the anxious ones are locked out of “fun” time for my mind.
