Nudism to Reduce Anxiety

In a recent blog (seen here) I wrote about the importance of mental health and my life dealing with depression and anxiety. The previous post was about depression, this one I will address how I use nudism to reduce anxiety and calm my inner thoughts and hypervigiliance.

Stop Asking Permission: Live Life on Your Terms

Time to quit asking permission and start doing what you want.

Live life on your terms.

Do you ever find yourself wanting to do something or trying something out, however, you begin to think to yourself “what would xx think about it”? XX could be a friend, family member, general population or whomever comes to your mind.

The mental fight we have starts when someone says, “well I would never do that”. Of course, they wouldn’t do it in their life.

Hint, answer should be little to none.

How Do I Start Being a Nudist?

When I have conversations with non-nudist I often get a response like “sounds cool but I don’t want people to see my body”, “I am xx (old, over weight, stretch marks…) no one wants to see me” or “I could never go in front of people naked” all the way down to “I don’t even know where to start”.

These are common and have heard them for 20+ years, so if you are curious about it and have said something like this you aren’t alone.

The “What If” of Nudism.

What if? Two powerful words that we constantly ask ourselves and as a result, holds us back from doing many things in life.

I wonder if you counted the below statement, how many times a day you think or say these:

But What if I fail?

I am not sure, What if I don’t get it?

We can try, but What if it doesn’t work?

I don’t know if I want to ask them, What if they say no?
