TAKE A BREAK

For many of you, taking time away from the security of home is daunting (for both panic / anxiety sufferers and those with depression), so, stay at the journaling as explained earlier under "Journaling - A Must Read".

However, if you are toying with the idea you could do it, then, here are some ideas....

  • Go on a SHORT holiday with a loved-one or significant other - One Night - or - Two Nights LOCALLY...

You see, you don't have to go on some huge holiday interstate or overseas, it can be in your own state, city or suburb. Just getting away for those few days can really clear out some mental clutter and get you re-aligned and recharge those batteries! It doesn't have to be expensive either, depending upon your budget!

  • Go Camping - OR - Stay in a Caravan Park...

Again, it doesn't have to be expensive. When you get the urge to want to go away DO IT, you have come this far, what basis do you really have to rely upon you won't be able to make the trip and come back happier and healthier for the experience? You're reading this, so, there must be some truth to it ;)

  • Visit and stay with a friend for a few days...

This can be more comfortable for some to begin with!

  • If you're feeling a little more adventurous, take that trip interstate...

It doesn't have to be long, just some time away, out of your comfort zone (not too far out of your comfort zone, you are wanting to re-define / broaden your boundaries not conquer the world in a week, this attitude can more than likely hinder your progress).

  • A WHOLE DAY OUT is also a great idea...

You don't have to spend the night anywhere if this is not your thing, just make a personal Itinerary for yourself and go have fun, you could start by having breakfast at a local hotel, take a walk along the beach, stroll through some shops, get some lunch and have it in a local park, or, have lunch in a nice little coffe shop, then, perhaps dinner in your favourite restaurant.

It's as big or as small as you want AND allow it to be! EVERYTHING IS.

Your life is calling you, what are you going to do with it today???

NUTRITION MATTERS

Today's post is on nutrition!

I personally discovered that my mood & attitude altered dramatically when I changed my eating-habits.


You don't have to totally change your eating habits. I would suggest a few changes to begin with and just see how this makes you feel over the next few days:

  1. Start to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day.
  2. Either stop or cut down your caffeine intake. If you drink a lot of coffee, etc, you will want to gradually phase this out as you find you may get headaches, etc should you try to go cold-turkey!
  3. I am going to generalise this third rule given there are that many out there and it can become overwhelming for us all. Just eat as NATURAL FOOD AS POSSIBLE. In other words, things that are not processed as much, such as: Fresh Fruit & Vegetables, Fresh Meats & Fish that are not covered in a batter or a breadcrumb, Wholegrain Breads & Cereals. The closest to it's natural state, the better. Give it one week and see what a difference this makes to your life! :)

TIP: Fish Oil Capsules from your local store or health food supplier can help with nervous tension, containing Omega 3's. AMAZING FOR ANTI-STRESS, TENSION & SCHIZOPHRENIA, THE LIST JUST GOES ON & ON.

IF YOU CAN'T TAKE FISH OIL (EVEN IF YOU CAN), CONSIDER THIS: Eat 5 to 10 Walnuts per day, they are absolutely chock-filled with goodies from Omega-3 to Manganese & Copper which help fight free-radicals in the body! They are also excellent for women suffering from PMS. Helps improve your skin-tone, Cholesterol Problems, High Blood Pressure, Helps to Protect Arteries, Helps Prevent Gallstones, Prevent Weight-Gain, etc. People, the list goes on & on regarding the health benefits in Walnuts...!

BIG TIP OF THE DAY: You may want to check what is in your can of soft-drink / soda / fizzy drink. It has now been noted that (in Australia at least) an ingredient called "Sodium Benzoate" which is put in some drinks is now linked to DNA Damage resulting in hyperactivity in chilren (give them some more time until they realise it affects the human body in general, children AND adults).

IN GOOD HEALTH

IN THE BEGINNING

HEY THERE

This is for ANYONE who has experienced / experiencing or knows someone who is going through any trouble with PANIC / ANXIETY & DEPRESSION. For ANYONE looking for ANOTHER WAY... :) HERE'S MY WAY...

First of all, I would like to give you an insight into what I have experienced before I get into my tried & true practices. BUT, should you already be experiencing a Panic / Anxiety Attack, I suggest you go straight to the coloured-text where I have started listing my remedies!

Love
Joy

I had experienced all of these not-so wonderful feelings for the past 16 years. I can go into detail, however, those of you reading this know that there is no fix in doing so (going over the past that is). Reading about others problems does not always help, more to the point, it can (and did for me) hinder. UNLESS there is a MORAL VICTORY to the story (wouldn't THAT be nice), but, usually not! Most stories are filled with fear, regret, blame and shame, NONE of which need to be:) This is where I come in...

I have most recently discovered Blogging and have been wanting to share (and discuss openly here with YOU should you wish) some of my stories about how to overcome the overwhelming fear associated with Panic / Anxiety Attacks!!!

Fed-Up with "professionals" having varying opinions on what they THINK should be done about treating Panic / Anxiety Attacks. When questioning them about their 'theories', only to be told "well, this is how it is done, I know because I STUDIED it for years"... I don't know about you, however, their study habits didn't give me much comfort in my ability to recover! THEN to top it all off, watching the local 'professional' drive-off in the latest model Mercedes knowing there aren't THAT many people in this area code with the same problem, so, unless they keep getting REPEAT CUSTOMERS on a regular basis, this piece of machinery wouldn't exist in their experience...! What I wanted was to come across a method that had been used successfully AND what had already worked for others. So, without making you read much more, I am wanting to get right down to the business side on what I did that WORKED for myself and others:)

# 1 - First of all, I highly recommend you begin to meditate (morning / evening - or - both. Preferably first thing after you awake in the morning, or, just before you go to sleep). I am NOT talking about going on a 2 year bender where you're stuck ontop of a hill in some dark cave trying to find enlightenment! What I AM talking about is, taking 15 minutes ONLY *perhaps more if it feels good at the time, however, ONLY if it feels good to do so, if not, 15 minutes is sufficient for anyone!

This does not have to involve outsourcing a Guru either, 'nor does it involve having to purchase a "recommended" cd / book on the subject. These can be of assistance if you have trouble concentrating / letting go of old thought patterns, however, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS:

(Set a timer for 15 minutes, NOTE: DO NOT HAVE THE TIMER NEXT TO YOU IF IT IS LOUD, PLACE IT IN A DIFFERENT ROOM / WRAP IT IN A TOWEL, WHATEVER WILL MASK THE NOISE A BIT IF YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE VOLUME, BECAUSE IT WILL SCARE YOU IF YOU ARE NEAR A LOUD TIMER WHILST IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEDITATION).


Wear comfortable clothes (nothing restrictive).



  • Sit in an upright position (legs folded, crossed, straight out, whatever FEELS BEST to you...!


  • Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing (preferably through your nose if possible). What this does is quiets the mind (it will never be completely quiet, however, it reduces this dramatically), each time you feel your mind wandering to unwanted thoughts, gently accept that this will happen and let them GO / release the thought and continue to concentrate on your breathing. As you do this for a period of time, you may very well come up with your own way of going about it, for instance, picturing a beautiful scenery that makes you feel comfortable, perhaps planning how your day will unfold mentally, ANYTHING that makes you FEEL GOOD when you are thinking it is great for that 15 minutes!

# 2 - TENSION IN YOUR NECK / HEADACHES??? Buy some Lavender Oil (pure essential oil works best and is the ONLY essential oil that can be applied directly onto the skins surface), this works wonders, when you feel the tension coming on (or already upon you), get the Lavender Oil and put a dab onto your finger and put a bit behind each ear and at the base of your hairline / neck region and onto your temples. This helps alleviate the stress / tension you are putting in this area. You will also notice that you keep your shoulders tense, so, throughout your day, make a conscious effort to relax your shoulders, you will notice the drop immediately. This can also help prevent tension-related headaches, etc. ALSO, check your jaw, this is another HUGE tension area which creates headaches, etc. Make sure you relax your jaw and lightly touch the back of your top teeth with your tongue, this will keep the jaw muscles relaxed!


TIP: I recommend (when in a work environment and you don't want anyone to know you have Panic / Anxiety Attacks), you purchase a little bottle called "Migra-Stick" (it is a tiny bottle (approx. size of a lip-balm) which has essential oils in it with a ball on the end which allows easy application wherever you are), this is for Migraines, tell people who ask why you are using it, or, what the smell is, that you feel a Migraine coming on. This eliminates any need for further discussion and I have found people will leave it at that. Use it INSTEAD of the Lavender Oil, it has Peppermint & Lavender in it which will alleviate the stress-symptoms!

This can be purchased at most pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. However, I will put a link to the site up here just incase you have difficulties finding any.

The link is on the Top Right Hand side of this page under "MigraStick".

# 3 - When PRESSURE / TENSION IN YOUR CHEST: Buy SODA WATER. I have found where I am Schweppe's Soda Water is the best. BUT, all you need to do is find a Soda-Water that has a small-bubble content. Hard to describe, however, not like a Soda-Stream will make, you want one that gives tiny bubbles (most purchased Soda-Water is like this anyway). When you drink the soda-water, it helps to release the gas you have caught in your diaphragm which causes the tension. A great way to reduce this! Also, women, make sure your bra is not too-tight, as this will keep that knot in your chest and for both men & women, make sure that your clothing is not too-restrictive!!!

# 4 - BREATHE...! Perhaps this should be at #1, however, it's here and it's IMPORTANT... The deeper you can breathe (into your stomach), the better...!

TIP: When in the midst of a Panic Attack, count your breaths. Inhale through your nose slowly, counting the seconds it takes UNTIL you have reached the COMFORTABLE limit of inhalation, hold it for a few seconds, then, RELEASE SLOWLY THROUGH YOUR MOUTH - NO need to count with the exhalation...! The longer the seconds for inhaling, the better & stronger your breathing is becoming, this WILL HAPPEN AND this WILL help for current and future events, especially for eliminating Panic / Anxiety Attacks in the future! The better you can breathe, the more stable you will feel... :) It is the RELAXED DEEP BREATHS that come with time that will keep you FEELING RELAXED...!
