Tips
for Managing Anxiety - Binaural Beats the Fast and Easy Solution!
In my role as
Staff Support Officer for one of the largest UK employers
for over 15 years, I have offered help, support, and resources to
countless individuals suffering from this debilitating and inhibiting
condition.
Anxiety
takes many forms and
occurs for a multitude of reasons, but in essence it is fear. I once
heard of anxiety described as "fear spread thin" which I think is a
particularly appropriate description of the feeling that it produces.
Anxiety can be "generalised" i.e. the individual lives daily with
anxiety which they cannot attribute to any particular fear or
situation. Anxiety can of course be brought on by work related,
domestic stress or any situation that presses the right or wrong
buttons for the individual. I have seen people paralyzed with anxiety
at the prospect of public speaking, or having suffered from bullying or
harassment at work.
There are so many reason why
people suffer from anxiety, but the first thing to remember is that it
is learned fear, and it can always be unlearned. Just think of babies
who are naturally inquisitive, and totally fearless, until they learn
to be fearful of certain things and situations.
This is a big subject, but
lets
get down to basics about what you can do to manage anxiety that is
generalised, where there is no specific identifiable catalyst for the
fear. Much of this will be lifestyle related changes:-
a) In terms of diet look to
reduce saturated fats, sugars (other than fresh fruit and natural
sugar),cut out caffeine, cola, reduce processed food including bread as
far as possible and reduce stimulants such as nicotine and alcohol.
Many folks that indulge excessively in caffeine and cola have been
mistaken for sufferers of anxiety disorder. I promise you that alcohol
is a false friend in this situation, and although it pretends to help
and makes you feel peaceful for a while, the after affects send your
nervous system into overdrive!
b) Of course take regular
exercise. Taking your dog for a brisk 30 minute walk is fine. Go
steady, you do not need to exhaust yourself, brisk walking is fine and
the endorphins will flow, you will relax and sleep better. Allow
yourself a definite 8 hours in bed for adequate rest.
C) Reduce your commitments
where you can and allow some time for yourself on things that you
enjoy, particularly when they they distract and totally focus you away
from your fear.
d) Generalised anxiety can
be eased by a feeling greater control and organization in your life.
This may be achieved by simply as tidying the house, clearing out your
wardrobe, checking on, and working out a budget for your finances.
Planning your time realistically so that you have time and space for
the things and people you value most.
e) Daft as it may sound, take
time to count your blessings, and really take time to notice and
appreciate the beauty that is in everything around you.
f) Notice and take note of when
you are most at peace, an why that might be. Then do more of it-
provided it's legal - whatever it is!
g) Myself and many of my
clients have found that relaxing music and imagery recordings have
promoted better quality sleep, and increased confidence and serenity.
Anxiety related to a specific
situation or events in your life many benefit from all of the the above
and also the following:-
a) Notice and check your
breathing. Short quick breathing encourages the fight of flight affect,
and if neither fits the situation your anxiety will increase. A
psychiatrist on a training course I attended recommended breathing in
deeply for 7 seconds, holding for 7 seconds, and then releasing slowly
over 14 seconds- and it really works! This will do the opposite to
fight or flight, and will trigger the relaxation response. I have used
this when very nervous, perhaps ahead of a training delivery, and it
has helped me start and get over my initial fear.
b) If you fear something
then do it! There is no better way of permanently defeating a fear than
meeting it head on. Plan your strategy, mentally see yourself
succeeding, choose your time, exercise whatever elements of control you
can, and then feel the fear and just do it. The fear will permanently
lose all power over you. To see yourself succeeding mentally is
imperative, because where the mind goes regularly, your body will be
sure to follow.
c) Consider what element of
control you may have over a situation. You will always feel better if
you take action to address a situation when feasible. Perhaps you are
anxious about things outside your control, and if so clearly there is
nothing you can do to change things, except trust. By this I mean,
consider trusting that everything is happening perfectly- as it is
intended. That is, everything is happening as it should and everything
will turn out OK. It is notable that of all the worries and fears that
are presented to me by my customers and clients, most outcomes are
considerably better than people expect. and all outcomes are manageable
with support and love and care from those closest to them.
d) Communicate with
those around you and those you love and care for. Its good to talk! Our
relationships bring us the greatest joy in life, and those with good
support networks cope better in difficult times and better in stressful
situations.
It may not surprise you to learn
that I have personal experience of the condition, and have investigated
many methods of control. My extensive training and my experience of
helping people with their problems has taught me that our conscious and
subconscious minds are extremely powerful, and our attitudes and
beliefs have a major affect upon how life manifests around us, and
believing is the key to everything!
So determine and decide to
appreciate all that is around you, count and enjoy your blessings,
believe in only good things for your life, and watch them happen!
