Fear of Driving: Panic Attacks and Anxiety While Driving

Fear of Driving 3 Comments »

Put a little Kia and Zen in your life.

Get in Life’s Slow Lane, Let Stress Pass You By!

<BR><BR>

Sometimes, you just have to pull over and slow down to get out of a stress mess caused by your anxiety.  Yes, everything will back up behind you – someone might honk at you to “get a move on,” but when it comes down to it – you have to look out for the vehicle that gets you places in life – your mind and body.

Go ahead and make the decision that you’re not going to be bullied around by deadlines, other stressful people, and ridiculous restrictions anymore.  Once you accept the fact that slowing life down to a manageable state is going to cause other people to get more stressed, you’ll be better able to focus on your problems, and not theirs.

It’s time to start taking baby steps if stress is taking its toll on you.  Are you stressed because you can anxious when you drive more than 20 miles from home?  Focus on the first five, and forget about the rest for a little while.

Stressed that you know next week’s going to include 20 hours of overtime?  Go ahead and make plans for others to take over at home with the dishes, cooking, and laundry so you can get extra sleep.  And schedule a spa treatment for the week after – it’ll be nice to look forward to something.

Study up on kaizen, which is the Japanese art of making minor changes to see big success.  The idea behind it is, when you keep all of your tasks in small sections, you get to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment more often – as each step is completed.

This is much better than having to endure a mountain of stress for a long period of time, waiting for a payoff at the end.  Broken down, Kai means change and zen means good, so this is a good change for you to make in your life.

It’s not just breaking things down into smaller steps, but making the process better while you do it.  Sometimes, we can get overwhelmed facing a huge project and our productivity isn’t as good as it would be if everything was broken up and our focus was more narrow.

With kaizen, you’ll move more slowly, making sure everything is right in your world – whether it’s how you manage money, deal with relationships, or complete a task at work.  There’s no failures with kaizen, so your stress is lifted – you don’t place blame on yourself for doing something wrong – you just take your time and find a better way.

If you use kaizen to improve the quality of your life and take stress out of the equation, you’ll find that you don’t respond to situations as you once did, frantic about the mistakes or problems arising.  You’ll calmly hone in on the issue, address it in the most logical way you know, and watch the results so that you can improve your life even more.

Panic Attack Help and Tips: Natural Way Calming CD

Serenity and harmony through sound

Everyday stress and tension are part of our modern lifestyle and can affect almost everyone at some time in their life. During times of increased mental demands, the brain sends signals to various body systems to leap into action. When the psychological and physical factors of tension are felt, the body increases its release of certain stress hormones through the adrenal glands.

A prolonged increase in these hormones is not ideal and can result in compromised vitality and may influence emotional, cognitive and physical health. In order to ensure that stress does not build up and have an adverse effect on your health, it is important to find stress management techniques that will work for you.

The natural way

Nature’s soothing sounds have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, helping to encourage healthy stress management and inner peace.

Panic Attack Help Natural Treatment

Many people strongly advocate aromatherapy to deal with panic and anxiety. Lavender can have an especially calming and soothing effect when you smell it. You can find essential oil of lavender at many stores. Keep it handy and take a sniff when you start feeling anxious. Try putting a few drops of lavender essence oil into some oil (olive or grape seed oil will do) and rub on your body. Keep a prepared mixture in a dark glass bottle for when you need it. You can even prepare several bottles,
with a small one to carry with you. Other essential oils known to help panic and panic
attacks are helichrysum, frankincense, and marjoram. Smell each of them, and use what smells best to you, or a combination of your favorite oils mixed in olive or grape seed oil.

You may want to prepare yourself BEFORE a panic attack happens. When you’re not in a panicked state, make a list of the things that you’re afraid will happen. Then write out calming things that tell you the opposite of your fears. Then you can repeat these things to yourself when the panic
starts to come. Prepare a list of things to do in case of panicked feelings, and it will be ready for you when you need it. Fill it with lots of soothing messages and ideas of calming things
to do. I find this to be a very helpful tool and am never without my small notebook that has these positive affirmations in it. Panic can be a very scary thing to deal with and getting anxiety and panic attacks under control as soon as possible is important.
