We all struggle with keeping our inner voice from negativity and worry-mongering. Whether we have legitimate cause for concern or are the sort who worries even when there is nothing to worry about, strategies to allay fears sensibly help us hold a balanced equilibrium.
Get a Grip on AnxietyWhen unresolved anxiety is ongoing and relentless, serious harm to our mental, emotional and physical results.
Learning strategies to catapult yourself into the clear of calm is important, no matter if you suffer from GAD (General Anxiety Disorder), which lingers like background noise, or you suffer the more physical stress manifestations such as heart palpitations, trembling, or excessive sweating.
Most often all you need is to use a technique that moves you out of the stranglehold of the labyrinthine thought patterns you create with habitual worry and anxiety.
Get Real with TechniquesYou may find that you end up using different strategies for different areas of anxiety. Either way, we’re sure that at least one of our tips, will work for you.
- Stay in Real Time: Unresolved anxiety is not created in real time. When you realise you’re anxious, check whether your thinking is trapped in the past or consumed with what you fear might occur in the future. Get into the present by taking a deep breath and then still suck in a bit more air when you think your lungs are full. On your exhale, you’ll land squarely on your feet in the Now, in real time.
- Positive Panic: When you feel in a state of panic or your system seems to be reacting all on its own, remind yourself that your system is working well. Reframe your state in a positive light. Be grateful because those fight-or-flight responses triggered are exactly what keep humans alive when under threat. But if you’re not in immediate danger, it’s just a panic attack. The reaction will pass - for some, an hour or longer, but either way, it is temporary.
- Stand Tall: Anxiety causes primitive, self-protection postures evidenced by hunching forward as if to guard your vulnerable areas - heart and lungs. Straighten up, stretch your spine and stand tall. Your body will get the message that there is no real danger. You will soon feel in control again.
- Triple Three Technique: Also known as the 3-3-3 rule, this simple exercise can pull you back to reality, to the present, and out of any negative automatic response. Look around you and name/list 3 things you see, 3 things you hear, and then move 3 parts of your body. You’ll come into awareness, be more conscious, and ready to do life on purpose rather than on auto-pilot.
Finally, notwithstanding training yourself in mind over matter strategies and techniques, get yourself natural supplements for support.
