Tips For overcoming Stress, Stop Anxiety And Panic Attacks

By Lois Arvin Walker

We are all living in an exceedingly hectic world these days ; it feels like the time is ticking away faster and faster. Works and family duties are overpowering us at times. Hence, it's not surprising that stresses and anxiety crawl in our lives. No-one could eliminate stress completely ; what we could do however, is learn how to control and manage stress before it takes control of our lives.

Stress and anxiety are the major cause of panic attacks. If not dealt with, it can have a fatal effect on our life. Particularly for folks with A-type personalities, the perfectionism they seek in everything they do never quite measures up to their expectations. Please understand that nobody is perfect ; humans are all imperfect living in an imperfect world. Don't stress it out and make yourself mad, just take it all in your stride.

There are many different ways to address stress ; just some simple exercises can help stop the attack of stress. As an example, just target respiring properly can take away the anxiety from your intellect and bring you back to a calm state. Anytime when you feel stress, put your left hand on your belly and start to breathe deeply and slowly ; you need to feel that your gut expands when you breathe in air ; that is's the right way to breathe.

Going outside for some fresh air can also help. Walking or running for twenty minutes can release endorphins which help relieve stress. Listening to classical music also helps as it lowers the blood pressure, and brings calm within.

Sometimes, however, stress unearths itself in other ways. Fear, feelings of pressure, inability to focus and palpitations ; all of these are symptoms of stress that can cause uneasiness, panic attacks, and the fright or flight syndrome.

For example, you are fearful when talking in front of a group of folk ; anxious when an aircraft's taking off ; scared during your wedding day, and so on. There is actually no absolute treatment for anxiety and fear. To triumph over it, you'll have to face your fear ; admit that you are fearful, seek to understand it, and do the right thing anyhow. Develop faith that you'll eventually conquer your fear and anxiety.

If stress is getting you down, examine the cause. Determine the origin, talk to a friend or discuss it with a professional or a family member. Stress, if not acted upon, could cause heavy health issues. Learn to live and deal with it at any cost, if you can.

Remember that there is no such thing as 'stress-free' life as stress is always around us ; unless naturally if we are dead. So long as we are still breathing, we are subject to anxiety and stresses. What we can do however, is to develop a'stress-proof' life. There are plenty of successful self-help methods you can learn how to stop stress and panic attacks on its track. . - 30309
