Cher Anxiety-Meditation

MEDITATION

If you have anxiety/panic attacks. You really need some form of meditation. This helps to reduce stress, and recharge yourself to lessen the anxiety in a day.

I would suggest taking a good Yoga or Tai Chi class, but we all know , that they are either not available to us, or we just cannot afford the time or the money for a class.

This gets us back to meditation, really it just means taking some quiet time out for yourself to sit in a calm atmosphere and deep breathe.

Find a quiet spot at home or at work, take about 10 min, 5 if you can't take more, and just sit, close your eyes, breathe in deeply and out forcefully and try to relax your muscles as you do this.

A good method it to picture your muscles relaxing in your head. Start at your toes, breathe in and as you breathe out, say relax ( or think it, either way works). Continue on up your body finding each muscle as you go until you reach your head.
As you do this, and it may take some practice, you will find that in the process of deep breathing and relaxing the muscles that you will feel all together better.

The more often you do this the better and easier you will find your day will go, and stress will soon be out of your vocabulary.

Remember to eat well and exercise everyday!

CHER ANXIETY-by CHER

CHER ANXIETY-By Cher

I have been dealing with panic attacks for over 10 years now.

If you are having panic attacks/anxiety attacks first thing you do is contact a doctor!
Very important , to be assessed properly.
From assessment your doctor will prescribe either some sort of therapy and or medication to help you through.
Not everyone will adapt to medication on the first try, your doctor will try different dosages or even different medications , depending on your reaction and side effects to the meds. Now that seems scary, but I think the panic attacks are scarier.
Please don't suffer in silence, get out there and talk to people, talk online, ask others how they cope, because even with the medication, you still have to find a way to cope.
In my older posts I have tips on how to cope and get through an attack.
With practice they work very well. Please take time to read through, I want to help others get through, what I've been through with greater ease than I.
Here's to a panic free day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWINE FLU-Anxiety help by Cher

Swine Flu

It's in the news, it's all people are talking about and everyone is scared! Am I Right? Yes, a possible Pandemic of Swine Flu is a very scary thing, but you don't have to panic, nor lock yourself into your home until it passes.
There are precautions you can take, as with any flu , you need to wash your hands thoroughly and often. Make sure that when you cough or sneeze you do so into your sleeve , as to not pass any viruses on, even if you think you are well. Most of all, if travel to Mexico is not necessary, don't go! Any kind of travel for that matter.
As people who already have panic/anxiety attacks, we surely didn't need one more thing to worry about, but you really should just know that you can help protect yourself, try not to worry and take precautions, all will be ok.

By all means, if you don't feel well, flu like , see a doctor and have yourself checked!
