		<description>Overcoming anxiety is no small task. 
It takes practice and a lot of hard work.

I used to have panic attacks once a week 
due to my high anxiety, so I definitely feel 
for you. Fortunately, I can do a lot more
for you than empathize. 

By utilizing the techiques below, I was slowly 
able to gain control over my anxiety and stop 
my panic attacks from occuring. If you 
exercise these techiques regularly, you too 
will see great improvements in anxiety,
tension and stress.

Breathing:

As the anxiety creeps up, begin to count in 
your head. Count 1,2,3,4 -- 1,2,3,4 -- 1,2,3,4 
pausing on the dashes and so on. 

You&#039;re not going to actually say or 
even think the numbers. You&#039;re going 
to breath the numbers. 

Take a deep breath in through your 
nose for the 1 and 2. Then take a 
deep breath out through your mouth 
for the 3 and 4. Practice this routine 
for a few minutes a day until it 
becomes an automated exercise for you. 

Practicing really helps a lot. 
Practice in a controlled environment. 
I used to practice before bed. When 
panic does hit, this self-defense 
mechanism kicks in without effort.

Control Your Thinking:

When you have negative thoughts, 
negative things will come into your 
life. Conversely when you have positive 
thoughts, positive things will come 
into your life. 

That&#039;s because thoughts steer the 
direction of your life.

The same holds true in moments of high 
anxiety. It&#039;s important during these
times to monitor your thoughts and 
make sure you force calming ideas 
and images into your head.

Nothing is really as bad as it seems and ten 
years from now,this particularly stressful 
situation won&#039;t exist - so control your 
thinking to avoid your mind from falling 
into a negative thought spiral.

As soon as you have a negative thought, 
throw it out of your head and 
counterbalance yourself with a 
positive or optimistic thought.

This is a hard one, but after 
you monitor your thoughts for 
a week or two, you begin to think
more positive in general.

These two tactics helped me a lot. 

Other helpful ideas are:
- Participat in Therapy 
- Talk to someone you trust
- Exercise (cardio works best)
- Yoga
- Stretching
- Reading
- Meditation
- Take a hot shower
- Go for a Walk
- Listen to Music

		<description>This is a good post.  I&#039;ve tried Kava Kava in the past but not the Reishi.  Sounds like that would be helpful while working on the help desk :-)

		<description>[...] Today I&#8217;d like to talk about a great site called &#8220;Nature Moms&#8221;. This is a site dedicated to building a natural home and family life. The site is very informative on living a more natural lifestyle, eating more naturally, using natural health remedies, being more self sufficient and helps to be less a part of the &#8220;rat race mentality&#8221; that we often get caught up in. The site offers natural products that can be hard to find and which will help you to make a smaller footprint on Mother Earth. The blog portion gives experiences of the authors and advice on coping with life. The post on Jan.10 is a good example. Tiffany talks about stress and gives some good natural remedies for insomnia, some I have personally used. I hope you will take a look at this great site. There&#8217;s a link in my blog roll for the site as well as a link to the posting.  Share and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
