HighandDry is the show where I come and rant about something heavy on my heart. Here I am candid and 100 percent truthful of my feelings on the matter. My mouth is sharp and I chew a few people out.
It’s a fun time.
Nicki vs vaccine. The Nicki hate train has just left the station, she simply stated her opinion and that was the worst thing she could’ve done because now the media and others are at her neck.

5 ways to limit your social media intake:
1. Keep apps out of sight and out of mind
Try moving apps from out of Home Screen and into folders, and delete the apps you don’t use. Another great tip is setting designated times for social media use, for example Friday’s between 6-8pm end don't use any other time outside of that
2. You can use apps to help you limit your screen time. Forest app allows you to set a timer and use that time to browse only. Daywise app allows you to schedule times for receiving notifications. And the Do Not Disturb feature on iPhone silences calls and notifications when your phone is locked.
3. Spend an hour a week on a screen free hobby. This can be reading, creative writing, gardening or even going on a walk. Indulge in an activity that allows you to be in the present moment and allow yourself to enjoy it.
4. Enjoy a phone free dinner. Set your phone aside maybe in a different room while eating with family or friends, this will allow you to be fully present in the moment and will force you to use your social skills to connect and communicate with them
5. Leave your phone outside the bedroom. While sleeping, leave your phone in another room to charge so you are not tempted to use it in the middle of the night. This will allow you to get a full night's rest. If you require an alarm clock use a good ole fashion digital clock with an alarm instead.

Step 2. Build your toolbox
If you have social anxiety disorder, there are a number of strategies that can help you learn to overcome your fear of social situations.
Tool 1: observe your social anxiety.
An important first step to learning to manage your social anxiety is better understand your social anxiety. You may experience different symptoms in different social situations. You may begin sweating when talking to coworkers, speaking in a meeting, or going to parties, while in a different scenario you may begin blushing instead. Understand the difference symptoms when they occur
Tool 2: learn to relax.
Feeling anxious can be uncomfortable and scary, by learning to relax you can “turn down the volume” on the physical symptoms. This can be done by:
• calm breathing. We tend to breath faster when we are anxious, this can make us feel dizzy and and lightheaded, calm breathing involves taking slow regular breaths through your nose. The goal of calm breathing is not to eliminate anxiety completely but to help you ride out the physical symptoms as they happen.
• Muscle relaxation consists of learning to relax your body, it involves tensing various muscles and then relaxing them, this can help lower overall tension and stress levels
Tool 3: realistic thinking.
People with social anxiety tend to have negative thoughts about themselves and what will happen in the social situation.
Some examples include:
“No one will like me”
“I’m going to say something stupid”
