Anxiety Help by Cher-Money and Stress

Moderate Stress by Cher

We all think that people with money are the only ones who can live a stress free life. We all wish we had more money to help make our stress go away. Well my friends, there are ways to help your stress levels without breaking your pocket book, or having to be wealthy.

I will agree with all of you out there, that money does help. Yes, but more money only brings on different stresses. Then you have to pay someone to help you reduce those stresses.
Getting to the point.....You can go see a masseuse...if you can't afford one, as I can't. Take a nice warm bath, or shower. Fill your bathroom with smells you enjoy, and or music you love. Take time for yourself, no matter how unimportant you may think it is. Everyone must take time for themselves as much as possible. You will find out how much less anxiety and panic you will have if you do this daily. Don't forget to eat right and exercise as well.

Take quiet time, to read a book, to just sit and relax. I must say though, watching a movie or T.V. doesn't count, because you are focused on something else, and those things you need to work out, are still at the back of your mind.

Try to make sure that the time is yours, and only yours. It doesn't have to be that long, 1/2 hour at the least. But try to do it often.

Most of us out there, live for others. Parents for their kids, others for their parents, some for others in the community who need help. You must remember yourself though, because without that time for yourself, how will you be able to care for others.

That bit of time you spend on yourself, will pay off in great stress relief in the end, and may even rejuvenate you enough to do that little extra, for you, for someone else you've been thinking about .
Here's to a less stress day!

Anxiety by Cher-Help with Focus

An anxiety attack, or panic attack is never a nice thing to go through. People have used different methods for many years. Some breathe deeply into paper bags, some focus on something and try to calm their breathing down, and others have mantras (things they say over and over again) to help calm them. There are many others as well, but most deal with deep breathing of one sort or another. All of these methods could work, and probably do. It depends on the individual and what works best for you. I have found that many things happen to me, when having a panic attack and most of the time I can stop it before it gets to bad. Usually I feel like I can't breathe, start to get dizzy and then comes the feeling of disassociation(or not being here). It literally feels like you are dying. The trick, is to train yourself to use a method and practice it, then when the attack comes it will work as a second nature, and your attack will calm down faster and faster. I have used the mantra and the deep breathing, sometimes one works best and sometimes the other, it depends on the situation. The main thing is that it works. Try one, then practice it, and when you have an attack you may find that it works. Maybe not right away, but with some time, it will work quicker. Today will be a good day!

Anxiety Help-Relax Your Stress Away

RELAX YOUR STRESS AWAY

Hi ,
Readers and fellow anxiety/panic friends.
Here are a few tips to help relax your stress away!
1. Deep Breathing. While sitting, lying down, or standing, close your eyes and breathe in slowly. In through the nose and out through your mouth. Hold your breath for a count of 5-10 seconds. Take ten of these super-relaxers anytime your feel tense.

2. Stretching. Practice simple stretches such as the "neck stretch": stretch your neck by gently rolling your head in a a half-circle, starting at one side, then dropping your chin to your chest, then do the other side.

3. Exercise. All kinds of physical activity---hiking, running, bowling, walking etc-they all help.
(if you can't leave the house) you can still exercise. If you have stairs, go up and down them a few times, try not to get out of breathe. Do jumping jacks, jog on the spot, sit on the floor and stretch your body out.

4. Take a bath. Ask household members to allow you at least 30 min. of uninterrupted time.

5. Get a massage. A massage is a wonderful way to get rid of physical tension. Professional masseuses generally take 30 min. to an hour , and will work on specific areas of tension, such as lower back or neck.

6. Eat well. Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake. Find out if your diet is well balanced and take steps to eat healthily to help reduce stress.

One of the big ones is TALK, talk with a friend, family member or whom ever will listen to the feelings that you might be holding in. Crying is a great stress reliever, just don't let it take you down into a depression. I like to get up and do something fun after a good cry. The stress is lower and it lifts your spirits.

Try them all, or one or two, any or all of them will help immensely!

Till next time, anxiety is the pits, we can rise from the pits!
