Maintaining a Healthy Outlook

When your body perceives a threat, messages go to the brain to produce a response which results in hormonal release. That’s fine when faced with danger, it helps to keep you safe as you respond fast. When the body detects danger that is not real, those hormones become toxic.

Take back control by recognizing the signs of a panic attack that is not real. Use the meditational exercises to calm your body’s emergency responses. It may sound unreal, but taking charge of your thoughts helps a great deal.

Once you are calmer, the emergency response of hormones will begin to shut down. It may take a few moments as you force your body to change direction, but it can be done. Relax those muscles. Convince your inner thoughts that there is nothing to panic about. Tell yourself that the world is still turning and everything around you remains normal.

Do this over and over until those attacks come less and less. Don’t allow maladaptive thoughts to fuel your emotions. When you feel your body going into panic mode, stop whatever you are doing and take action, such as:-

Close your eyes and start your breathing exercises.

Visualize pleasant thoughts to distract your mind away from the panic.

Count numbers in your head and keep counting to distract your mind into the mundane and away from the panic.

If possible, sit or lay down and then relax go through the motions of tensing and relaxing muscles in your body.

Go make a cup of tea or coffee to keep your mind distracted.

Read a book as another form of distracting your thoughts away from the panic.

It is difficult to avoid stress and anxiety completely, but what you can do is recognize it and take action.

Other factors in your life can play a part in making sure that you feel happy inside:

Spend as much time as you can with loved ones and friends.

Smile more, even at yourself in the mirror.

Take more short breaks if your day is a busy one.

Take a look at your diet and cut down on those sugars and starches as much as you can.

Take regular exercise, even if it’s only walking.

Visit somewhere pleasant.

Sit on a bench and watch the world pass you by.

Go somewhere and interact with nature to recharge your batteries.

Take a good look at the world around you. Notice the little things like a bird in the sky, or an insect on the ground.

Learn to appreciate the trees and flowers. Sometimes we rush everywhere in our cars and don’t have time to notice that nature is all around us.

Find time to talk to other people. After all, we are all going through the same processes. Learn to share your thoughts and others will share theirs with you. Be more tolerant of each other.

Do kind things for other people around you. It does not need to involve money. You could smile at a complete stranger. You never know they may need it. Allow someone through a door before you step through it. Give up your seat on a train.
