Stress Anxiety...Is social phobia or anxiety disorder a cultural epidemic...

Stress Anxiety

Key values that behavioral psychologists agree are basic to all human beings?

The key behind reversing or controlling anxiety is simple.

One method and technique is to force or "trick" (a small part of the brain called the amygdale) from seizing you up like a scared rabbit while sparking another part of your brain (your periaqueductal gray) into taking action.

Don't worry it isn't as complicated as it sounds, but I have to admit it's fascinating.

Here's just a taste of what you'll discover...
------
If you want and value the knowledge to delve deeper...literally take yourself out of the stress and anxiety trance and to move into the realm of subliminal mind control…now this may sound scary but then again you'll want to digest every word.


Powerful often overwhelming distressing feelings of pressure or tension!

Dear Valued Friend,

"Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it." - Diane Sawyer -

I'm taking a chance writing to you about something that's personal.

------

The feeling that some of your own questions and concerns are a result from the pressure and confusion you maybe expressing.

---------

Are you ready to get started with a frank and honest discussion on this subject matter which might I say can strike a nerve, so please don't be upset, I'm just trying to be of help.

Stress isn't your fault...

---------

Society has handed out the short end of the straw in teaching us to walk away or throw away our problems with quick fixes. Plus the unreal expectations of marriage, love and romance.

---------

This comment maybe also be offensive to you, but stress is a an inherent and inseperable part of your biology and geneology...your genetic code and make-up, qualities and attributes...

-----

To sum it all up in a nutshell...

---------

Stress is a result of how you're wired, therfore the way you think about who you are.

--------

Some people are just wired 'tighter', they're different because they're born with an acute level of sensativity, more so than most others.

They tend to hold onto their feelings closer to their heart on a personal level.

-------

If you fit this description, stop punishing yourself emotionally, instead start learning how you think and do whatever works for you to feel calm and relaxed about who you are.

--------

Ok. So what's going on if stress isn't your choice?

-------

You probably know what I'm talking about when I say that everyone at some point in their daily life has had the experience of feeling out of place, overwhelmed with details and distractions.

---------

I personally find stress and the whole idea very intriguing because now that I understand the nature of the beast, I see a totally different picture because I've learned to channel and direct it.

---------

Basically, everyone has emotions...I want to show you how to finally get control of your personal emotions, and what's really amazing, it can be done very quickly.

Maybe you just might see things from a new perspective because stress is hidden message.

Stress isn't always the "bad guy" if you're reading in between the hidden lines because your body is trying to keep you alert or aware of changing situations or environment.

Stress can be your friend telling you something is wrong, but are you listening.

Yes...there are two different levels of communication happening which can both a positive and negative but it's part of every culture and environment.

Just mention the word and you'd be hard pressed to look for the reasons why stress is good?

I mean think about it...if it wasn't for stress...life and nature wouldn't have evolved.

There would be no logical reason, advantage, benefit, purpose to adapt or grow...would there?

In fact, stress opens your mind to new possibilities, and puts you in a different frame of mind.

These days there are many forms of problems, from discomfort to chronic pain having psychological as well as physical roots.

Hidden trouble makes that fall under the heading of stress, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, guilt and sadness...from physical to mental to spiritual.

The pain can be emotionally wrenching to say the least.

The trauma can reach a major crisis and that demands significant change.

Today we'll take a closer look at ways to overcome the emotional stress from both sides of the fence.

----------

To help during these painful times because when someone you deeply love and care about begins distancing or pulling away from you, it's an aweful experience with intense feelings.

In private conversations, many women have told me that they've been in relationships where their partners repeatively cheated, abused, and hurt them (both verbally and physically).

-------

One women openly said: "I've got so use to bad news, being lied to, used and hurt, then left emotionally empty, I was starting to think that all men were evil and mean".

------

Maybe you know how she feels...I pay close attention to these "chunks" of your life because for years I thought I'd never find a good woman.

-------

Same goes for men...I'm sure a few of you have probably thought that about women too, like everyone feels that way until find the "right" partner.

-------

Again...in short, you and I both know what it's like to feel totally disorganized and that's not another retrospection, so lets look at ways to take a different approach:

A simple visualization technique can switch your brain out of victim mode. You can use this simple method to suddenly turn the tables putting you back in command.

You can also use a simple technique by speaking certain action words out loud. This will actually trigger your brain to respond from shock to decisive action.

Anxiety is bascially an over reacytion of stimuli which causes a sudden brain-freeze. You can use key words that eliminate brain-freeze and the results are nothing short of amazing.

When you feel stressed out, your body cycles get out of whack and your blood pressure as a result rises, it helps to do something, whether it be passive or active like getting physical.

------

If you have a bible, it can be a good time to use your religious beliefs through pray or spiritual power of meditation. Spirituality often can restore your self-esteem and worth enabling you to see the bigger picture.

------

If you need to spend time alone, then find a comfortable safe place either indoors or outdoors to retreat and intentionally spend some quiet time there. You can even go to a park, mountains, lake, forest, anywhere you feel safe and can "get away" from it all.

-------

You could even go for a drive to the ocean, get some refreshing air and watch the waves rolling in. You'll feel the lulls and sometimes the crash. Notice the intensity and frequency of the waves.

------

Organize your thoughts. Close your eyes, do some deep breathing (using diaphram technique) to relax and mentally picture yourself doing one thing. See and feel what you would be doing as if you were doing that one thing in reality.

------

You don't have to spend a lot of time focusing on pictures and feeling. In fact, 1-2 minutes is more than enough time before you feel the effects of dissociation. Watch your worries dissolve.

------

The idea is to slow everything down, calm your thoughts and encourage the rhythm of your feelings to express yourself because whatever is in your mind will come and go, often in waves.

-----

Use affirmation exercises (techniques) positive images with self talk telling yourself: "what you're feeling isn't the end of the world, it's normal and will not destroy you, you're blessed to be be still alive, you're a good person, you'll be ok and this challenge will pass."

-----

If you feel low in energy, sometimes being active isn't the best move. Believe me, you're not alone, these days it's harder to find the extra motivation so pick up a book and start reading.

------

Alternatively you can do a search on the internet for forums and talk to other people about your situation. Many people spent time offering their understanding with personal experiences.

------

Hmmm turn your over charged batteries from melt-down into physical exercise.

-------

Listen to your favorite music while you get into the groove (flowing rhythm) draining off the excess adrenaline in your veins. You'll feel emotionally and physically relieved and much better.

------

Mentally you need to get out and relax, go for a walk. Hit the track and run, if you're in good shape or fit enough, work out doing something you enjoy which is fun and stimulation.

-------

You also think much clearer and better about yourself because you're caring for and looking out for number one.

--------
Nothing beats letting go of tension...if you prefer to handle your problems by talking them, find someone...(even a perfect stranger) who will listen to you as you pour out your heart.

------

Give plenty of warning with explicit instructions like: "I need to get things of my chest, vent my anger nad frustrations, cry, rage, and ask questions. Just look me in the eye, agree, nod your head, shut-up and listen."

Maybe you prefer to spend some time writing down everything that comes to your mind. Just go for it and let yourself go, let your anger and hostility out and don't worry about bad grammar or censoring out adult content.

-------

When you're done put the writing in a safe place or destroy it.
------
Be aware and develop the spiritual "outsider" (observing the inner part of yourself) that can directly speak to your turmoil.

-------

Practice noticing how and what you're thinking, how you're feeling and what you're doing. Just doing this and noticing often creates distance from the emotional pain.

If you feel like you're just spinning your wheels, you might be out of your depths here so you should seek professional advice. Supportive therapy might be helpful to you at this stage.

-------

These days there are community based organizations that provide (direct help lines) a personal counsellor often is available via telephone.

------

Pofessional coaching, is yet another helpful avenue that's increasingly popular as a way to find support and direction for your specific problems.
