All of us encounter several different worries and stresses on a daily basis. Top off our personal ‘normal’ daily tensions with the condition of world politics, conflicts, economies in crises around the globe and job losses throughout the U.S. and, well, need I say more? Anxiety has become a familiar state of being for nearly everyone these days. Such anxiety can easily end up yet another daily stress in itself. If you seem to be mired with excessive anxiety, you have to know that there’s a means of conquering anxiety, no matter how improbable that may seem. Here is a virtual road map you may use to succeed in overcoming anxiety.
Anxiety is the body’s normal response to stressful conditions. It’s really a way the body protects you. For instance, if you are walking down the street at night and one suspicious character approaches you, you get anxious, caused by adrenalin rush. Instead of freezing on the spot, you run in the opposite direction.
However, it’s also true that anxiety can be a result of intangible threats, like worry about your kids, finances or a spat with your boss. The body will not distinguish between real and intangible, or even imaginary threats. That rush of adrenalin happens equally as strong. The issue now becomes different. As it is said, you’re all dressed up with nowhere to go. At this stage; rather than a brief spurt of anxiety and a subsequent corrective action like fleeing the suspicious character that adrenalin just keeps on progressing, with the anxiety continuing apace. This is when you will need some practical aid in overcoming anxiety.
When your anxiety starts causing you some real discomfort, one of the best things you can do to have it under control is to take something physical, with vigor. That racing feeling will soon go away if you do some chores. Scrub the daylights from the kitchen floor. When the weather’s nice, take a brisk walk or take a ride in your neighborhood. Get the vacuum out and pretend your mother-in-law is coming for lunch. The more physical vitality you use up, the better you will feel.
Should you have the full blown anxiety attack, overcoming anxiety may be impossible. Anxiety attacks can create several quite uncomfortable symptoms. Your heart may beat frighteningly fast; you might go through a feeling of choking or not having the ability to breathe, with painful tension in the muscles and in the chest. This usually triggers hyperventilating. You may have heard that breathing into a paper bag will stop hyperventilating in its tracks. Good news is it’s true. Simply contract the neck of a brown paper bag until it’s only wide enough for the mouth. Breathe in and out, as gently as you can. The symptoms will subside.
If your anxiety occurs on a regular basis, it’s recommended to speak to a medical expert. Be aware that food allergic reactions and food preservatives, preservatives and ingredients like caffeine may lead significantly to increased anxiety. Explore these scenarios at your visit. Your physician may also prescribe prescription drugs that will help you in conquering anxiety. Such medications could be taken in a temporary basis, until you could possibly get at the root of the conditions leading to the anxiety.
Yoga, meditation techniques and prayer can also bevery useful in conquering anxiety. In order to get a your anxiety, you also need to have time to unwind, no matter how tight on time. It’s your wellbeing we’re talking about here. Try all of these methods. They all work. Put emphasis on those that work best for you. One of my personal favorites, not even mentioned, involves a good spa and a good read!
