Rebecca's Blogs

Throughout the past few decades, my challenges with anxiety have been talked over, discovered, misunderstood, pondered over and so forth. Psychology and the understanding of life science, in general, have also come a long way in thirty years. Nowadays many of my current and recent therapists have advised me to do mindfulness exercises.

Speaking verbally is something that I’ve always found to be very difficult, both physically and emotionally. It just doesn’t come naturally to me and that causes me to feel very anxious whilst talking. The feeling I get isn’t social insecurity or shyness.

Over the past couple of years Rebecca has been working on a new activity or hobby which is to learn languages that are different from her first (which in her case is English).

For quite some time now mobile phones have become one of the primary objects of society and living life. Nowadays just about every person (including myself) has a smartphone.

From childhood Rebecca has enjoyed building worlds and villages with Lego, forts and dollhouses with action figures, as well as train-sets. Thus it didn’t take long for me to embrace the current explosion of digital sandbox games including Minecraft, Fortnite, Portal Knights, Pixark etc.

Rebecca has been writing blogs for SpecialKids.Company for three years now.  Often by means of trial and error Rebecca has come up with some stronger additions to mindfulness exercises for moments of higher stress or anxiety. It may sound ironic that exercises which bring her anxiety down involve her doing work (relating to that of her career) itself.
