What are the factors that trigger anxiety and stress?

Posted by Dave on January 12, 2010

When it comes right down to it, there is an emotional trigger that happens to cause the anxiety or stress.

The underlying feeling that may trigger anxiety and stress in a traffic jam for example might be the fear of being confined or restrained. Maybe in the past you were restrained or trapped and now whenever you are in a sistuation where you cannot move (traffic Jam) these emotions surface and trigger the anxiety and stress.

Another example might be driving a car. The fear of driving a car might be triggered by a past accident or a fearful memory that was implanted into your mind as a youngster. Now when you try to drive that fear manifests itself as anxiety and stress.

These are just a couple of examples, but what I am trying to say is that most of the time there is an underlying feeling that triggers the anxiety and stress.

Keep Moving Forward!

3 Christmas Shopping Tips To Reduce Anxiety

Posted by Dave on December 14, 2009

Now that Christmas season is upon us, I have put together some tips to help reduce anxiety and still get your Christmas shopping done.

  • The first tip and most obvious is to avoid the stores and crowds completely. You can do this by doing your Christmas shopping over the Internet and having the gifts either shipped to you or the person you are giving the gift to.
  • The second tip you can do to get your Christmas shopping done and reduce holiday anxiety is to get up early and hit the stores right when they open. By doing your shopping early in the day when the store first opens you can usually avoid the regular crowds that are there later in the day. Of course the closer it gets to Christmas the more crowded the stores get no matter what time of day.
  • The third tip is to have a friend or relative do the shopping for you. A great way to do this is to go online and find a picture and description of each gift that you want to purchase. Print out the picture and description and what store it can be found at and ask a friend or relative to pick these items up for you while they are doing their Christmas shopping.

I hope that you found these tips helpful in reducing the Holiday stress for you this Christmas season and also to help you to avoid an anxiety attack.

Keep Moving Forward!

A Breathing Exercise To Overcome Anxiety

Posted by Dave on October 31, 2009

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!

Can Yard Work Relieve Stress and Anxiety?

Posted by Dave on October 26, 2009

Can Yard Work Relieve Stress and Anxiety?

You bet it can. Doing any type of physical activity can help you to reduce stress and anxiety. This works in a couple of ways:

    1) It takes your mind off of whatever the thing is that is keeping your mind spinning with negative worrying thoughts.
    2) The physical activity helps you to replenish your oxygen supply with some good fresh oxygen for your brain. This is also why deep breathing helps to relax you. Nothing better than an extra boost of oxygen to refresh your brain.

Now if what you are stressing about is the yard work, than just doing it and getting it done will also help you. Just think, The yard work is done now. What am I worrying about then?

Take some deep breaths and relax :-)

Keep Moving Forward!
