Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety is a complex combination of emotions that includes fear, apprehension and worry, and is often accompanied by physical sensations such as palpitations, nausea, chest pain and/or shortness of breath. Anxiety is often described as having cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components. The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and uncertain danger. Sometimes you may think there is no hope and that you are stuck suffering with anxiety for the rest of your life. The people who think this way are the ones who will most likely NOT recover, or to a greater extent worsen their condition! So my First technique is this. Even if each day is no better then the rest, tell yourself tomorrow will be better and believe your own words. If you continue to tell yourself I cant do that then chances are you never will. Anxiety panic attacks can be brought on by just by fear of being judged. Tell yourself I dont care! Tell yourself what ever it takes to have a no care attitude. The best way to overcome anxiety is laughter, you simply have to have a good laugh. Read jokes, watch comedy movies, read a humorous book. The term laughter is the best medicine is all to true.
