How to stop an anxiety attack naturally

The Remote Control To Turn-Off Anxiety! 

If anxiety has become your second nature, you might be missing the remote control to turn it off. Fear and anxiety are our natural reactions; no one is invulnerable to anxiety. But a few know how to retain composure when the nerves do cha-cha.

Here’s how you can devise your own remote control to stop an anxiety attack naturally. 

Deep Breathing: This is the most reliable method to bring sanity to a pounding heart and gasping lungs. Whenever you feel as if the world is turning upside down, simply accept the situation and focus your concentration on the breathing. Don’t try to have a head on face-off with anxiety, as the more you’ll fight it, the more energy it will get to grow. Drop all resistance and get in sync with the healing power of breath. Drive the over-speeding vehicle of your body towards rest with slow and deep inhalations. Now allow the relaxation to reach your deepest core by exhaling even more slowly. This simple strategy will send your system into a deep rest, toning down the attack of anxiety.

Watch Without Playing An Active Role: The center from where the anxiety erupts is composed of a longstanding pattern of negative thinking. We get into a habit of blaming ourselves thinking I am not worthy, I cannot handle this, I cannot stand too many people staring at me, I am destined to fail, etc, etc. Identifying with such thoughts, gives them an upper hand over us. When we believe in the negative vibrations buzzing in the mind, we let them be the decider of our destiny. However, if we can just stand aloof and watch these thoughts passing on the screen of mind like a movie, as mere spectators, without any idea of owning them, we can get permanent relief from anxiety. Don’t try to rein the mind, let it be what it wants to be. Allow the negative thoughts pass on like strangers, don’t befriend or identify with them, and overtime, you’ll see the anxiety rendered impotent melting into the thin air.

Pat Your Affection On Scalp: A few drops of peppermint oil, when applied to head, releases the pent up stress and eases the pressure on nerves, thereby helping you lead an anxiety free life.

Anxiety Attack Symptoms In Women

Life is a miss or match with factors beyond our control. Our success in measured by our precision in aligning ourselves with the present circumstances. When things go off-balance, we sway knowingly or unknowingly in search of extraction. A meticulously integrated household with working parents and school-going children has the wife at its pivot. She has to persevere 24/7 to fit the bill; the breakfast is cooked on time, the children are sent away to school in high-spirits, the floor is mopped, the dishes are wiped clean. Most importantly, she does not want any love between her and her husband to remain unrequited. She aspires to be perfect but in practical sense perfection is an illusion rather than a reality. 

We are always moving from imperfection to perfection, but even after that perfection is attained yet another perfection remains to be achieved. Nothing is perfect at any given point of time, things are always moving towards betterment. If the mind of married woman coerces her to believe that she is not up to the mark with strong jibes, she shouldn’t take these negative vibes emanating from within seriously. When women undervalue their contribution to the smooth running of the household and blame themselves, anxiety becomes inevitable. How this anxiety manifests and what’s the best possible way to pluck it off from the mind? 

 

If you are getting into the over-complaining mode, like showing the stick to children at the slightest of non-obedience and finding minor faults in everything, it’s time to slow down and take stock of the situation. This nagging attitude preludes the development of anxiety attack symptoms in responsibilities-ridden women and understanding it at its onset, will keep the mind safe from becoming a house of horrors. 

The nature of human mind is such that even if we are doing our utmost best, after some time, the utmost best is projected as the utmost worst. So, what’s the way out for a woman to drop this over-complaining mode? 

After all a family is a family and the onus to keep the household well lubricated is as much on the husband, as it is on wife. She can share the daily errands, like cooking meals, washing clothes, buying vegetables, attending to the children’s homework, etc, with her better half. After all, marriage is a harmonious clubbing of love, responsibility, dreams and an entire lifetime. A sense of mutual understanding is a pre-requisite to decrease the workload on either of the partners and make life a stream of bliss. If a woman feels overburdened with responsibilities, she should talk with her partner to find a feasible solution for the problem.
