Overcoming Stress and Anxiety

I did a video showing you a breathing exercise that I use on my job to help get me through a stressful situation and to overcome the onset of an anxiety attack.

Just to recap, find a place where you can be alone for 2 minutes, take a deep breath in for the count five, hold it for the count of two and exhale for the count of seven.

You will feel refreshed and also have a good supply of oxygen to your brain. This helps to reduce stress and overcome anxiety.

Keep Moving Forward!

Cure Stress and Overcome Anxiety

When people are in the throws of panic attacks, they really cannot deal with the situation at hand. Here are some anxiety relief ideas to follow when you are experiencing one of these attacks:

It matters little whether you feel bewildered, unsteady, unreal or frightened. These feelings are merely an exaggeration of a normal body reacting to stress. Try to be as comfortable as you can without escaping. Try taking in a deep breath for the count of 5, hold it for 2 seconds and let it out for the count of 7. This deep breathing technique will replenish the oxygen in your lungs and brain and help you relax.

If you happen to be on a street, lean against a store wall or a post and do the breathing technique. If you happen to be at a store’s cosmetic department, try finding a quiet counter or corner and take some very deep breaths and even close your eyes. I have also found that sometimes a stall in the restroom can be a quick escape.

What you do not want to do is jump into your car and drive home in fear from the panic attack.

Keep Moving Forward!
