You Can Overcome Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural emotion that strikes one and all at sometime or the other in life. I am no exception. But I am writing this article to assure you that you could also overcome anxiety just like I did. \r There was a time when I used to suddenly feel the following symptoms:
Sudden palpitations
\r Perspiration or profuse sweating
\r Dry mouth
\r Trembling of hands and feet
\r Tightness in the chest
\r Dizziness
\r Blurred vision
Do you recognize these symptoms? Of course! They are symptoms of sudden anxiety that creeps in uninvited at wrong times and wrong places. It takes hold of you and makes you feel incapacitated to anything. But that is all in the past, in my case.
I wanted to take control of my anxiety. So I started reading a lot about anxiety. I read about why we get anxious, common symptoms and treatments, etc. Symptoms are all too common but treatments vary for anxiety.
Do you know all your anxiety and other sicknesses start in the mind?
First of all you need to be aware that you have a problem of getting anxious easily for no good reason.
You feel nervous and sick when you stop thinking calmly and start imagining wildly! It is a fact. When you think you have a problem, irrespective of the reality, you start nurturing negative thoughts. Your mind is only too happy to feed on such thoughts and helps you picture unwanted scenarios. When your mind does this, your nerves do their part to react to such ideas or imaginations. Due to this mental drama, you start getting anxious about the whole situation. In 99 percent of cases this is how anxiety occurs.
I started to watch my mind - After repeated anxiety attacks and learning that I have to face it, I started paying more attention to myself. If I felt a bit uneasy about something I would just drink a glass of water and sit for a while. I would feel butterflies dancing in my stomach. But I would not move. Instead I would just watch my mind to see what it is thinking. Many might just laugh at this admission. But, try it and you would find an amazing discovery about your fears and causes for your anxiety.
I learned a few positive affirmations to make my mind strong - Whenever you get negative thoughts, tell yourself that you would not entertain such thoughts. Instead learn to think positively. Repeat positive affirmations and they do you a world of good.
While medications might give you temporary relief, your efforts at being calm would help you find the exact reasons and you could clearly see how you create your own anxiety and tension. Along with your medication, whatever you are taking now, it is also good to practice yoga or meditation. They helps you to stay calm and keep your nerves calm too. There are many books and online information available.
Act smart and help yourself beat back your anxiety. You control your thoughts by controlling your mind. You could definitely live a life free of anxiety attacks.
I love to read books and write about useful information to others. I have been a ghost writer for the past two years. I strongly feel that writing is a satisfying job and a healthy hobby.
