Anxiety
Management - How to use it
Anxiety management is really useful when stress levels get out of
control. Stress is very common during these times. Sometimes it can be
mild and other times it can be quite severe. Anxiety occurs as a direct
result from stress. Depending on the severity of the stress; anxiety
attacks can appear.
There are many situations in life that can lead anyone to suffer from
anxiety. The loss of a job, a broken relationship and the death of a
loved one are common triggers for feelings of worry, fear and
uneasiness. When these feelings persist; anxiety and stress levels tend
to increase.
Some anxiety episodes can be quite brief and those rarely affect the
overall health of a person but sometimes they can be chronic. Chronic
anxiety can be very dangerous. Some of the common physical effects of
anxiety can be fatigue, heart palpitations, chest pain, nausea,
headaches and stomach aches. Since the level of anxiety is directly
related to the level of the threat perceived; the more you think the
situation is uncontrollable the worst you will feel. Extreme anxiety
can cause your blood pressure and heart rate to increase; if the
feeling of fear remains for too long your heart and arteries may suffer
irreversible damage.
The solution to reduce anxiety attacks can reside in anxiety management
techniques.
One of the simplest techniques you can use is breathing control. As you
inhale you say something like “everything “and when you exhale “is
going to be okay” this can help you to calm and to focus in the desired
outcome. As you breathe remember to inhale through the nose and exhale
through the mouth to increase the efficacy of the
method. You can also
listen to instrumental music to quiet your mind. This can give you the
opportunity to think more clearly before acting.
You have to obtain as much information as possible about the true cause
of the fear to effectively use anxiety management. Since anxiety is
directly related to fear, you must think about the true cause of that
fear.
What element in your life makes you feel threatened and not in
control? Once you know the exact cause of the fear you will be in a
better position to come up with a solution.
Frequently one of the typical causes for living in stress is worrying
about future events.
If you are experiencing this problem you can stop for a moment then
apply the breathing techniques and remember to enjoy the present. You
have to ask yourself if anxiety is affecting your life lightly or
severely; if is only slightly there is no much need for management
otherwise you must address the problem immediately.
