“12 Natural Ways of Preventing Anxiety Attacks”

Here are a few things that will turn life around and create peace and joy… and do away with anxiety forever.

With a New Dawn Everything Changes

In this day and age people are having lots of anxiety. They feel anxious all the time and have a feeling that they are not in control… thus life spirals downward into depression.

But we can heal everything…

Turn It Off – Turn off the smart phone, and walk away from it everyday for at least 2 to 3 hours. Having to deal with texts, calls, and emails constantly creates craziness in the mind and soon anxiety sets in.

Filter It – Don’t allow your life to be filled with negative things that cause anxiety. If you are going to the movies, pick something relaxing, joyful and uplifting that creates inner peace and makes you happy. Instead of picking a movie filled with violence and anger. Hundreds of studies show that what we watch creates inner peace or anxiety.

Let it Go – When someone says something about you, instead of getting all upset say to yourself – “I have no control over that” and let it go. Normally we get all upset and try to change the persons mind… and in the middle of it all become full of anxiety.

Remember – There is an old saying – “That’s None of My Business” and what people say or do really in the long run has nothing to do with our life. People will talk… and keep talking, all we have to do is follow our heart… and not allow any of it to take away our peace. This takes practice… but over time it can be done.

Don’t Rent Space – If you had an huge apartment complex with people who never paid their rent; they were breaking down walls; doing drugs; and more… sooner or later you would get rid of them.

The same goes for our mind, don’t rent space to people that don’t bring peace. Think of your mind as a block of apartments, only rent space to people who bring peace, love, and joy. Let the rest go, don’t allow all the anxiety of the world to take over and trash your mind complex.

Also if you have friends that constantly cause you problems and anxiety, you might have to choose new and different friends… and thus set your life free.

Walk Away – Walk away from the TV and Computer, it has been shown over and over again that both of these cause anxiety. Limit your computer and TV time. Most people watch at least 3 to 4 hours of TV every night, and that creates anxiety and poor quality sleep… which creates more anxiety.

Take a Walk – In Europe lots of people go for long walks and enjoy nature, people are out at the river and ocean, taking in the sun, and having down time to enjoy the trees, the water, and great conversation.

Nature is a natural antidote for anxiety, it’s like taking an anti-anxiety pill without the pill… and it works every time.

Sometimes I go to the rainforest and don’t do a single thing, I park my car, open the windows and just sit there in the peace… enjoying it all… the birds, the silence, the inner peace.

Play Day – Take the time every week to have a play day, be it with your spouse of just by yourself. Go out and do something fun, listen to the little boy or girl inside and ask them what they would like to do.

Time to get back in touch with your inner child, he or she creates all your joy… all you have to do is listen and follow their lead.

Create Community – Studies show that when we have a loving community of people around us we have less anxiety. So get out, join a club, start a gardening group, a photography group, join a social group, or a church group, whatever you can find or can think of starting, bring loving people into your life… and life will be different.

Be Creative – Jump into art, be it painting, gardening, poetry, photography, singing, creating music, being in a band, dancing… any kind of art that you can think of.

Art liberates mans inner imagination and allows the lid on the pressure cooker to be released… thus our spirit is set free.

Everyone has creative abilities, we just have to explore and find out what it is… and nurture our abilities so it grows into a great passion. Thus that passion fuels great joy!

Become Mindful – Most of the time we are running so fast that we get lost… and that causes anxiety. Being mindful, being present in the moment, allows us to pull ourselves back from the brink of anxiety… thus finding inner peace again. And studies show that mindfulness helps those who’ve already had their first heart attack… by preventing a second heart attack.

Mindfulness prevents anxiety from building up, thus mindfulness is another anti-anxiety pill without the pill… it works every time.

There are lots of courses that anyone can take on how to be mindful and present… just google “Mindfulness Programs” and they will come up.

Most of All Meditate – Meditation has hundreds of scientific articles that show that anxiety, stress, depression are nullified with consistent meditation. Even our men and women coming back from war with “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” have found that meditation is the only thing that helps. No medication and no amount of counseling has worked as well as meditation… and now even the armed forces are teaching their people meditation.

Just putting in 20 to 30 minutes first thing in the morning, and again about 5 or 6 PM works great for anxiety. Consistency is the key, putting in the time is important.

Meditation is like taking a anti-anxiety pill without the pill… it works every time.

Go to www.tm.org or http://www.dhamma.org/en/about/vipassana both of which are wonderful meditation programs. And the Vipassana 10 day meditation retreats are free including food and lodging… and some where in the middle of the retreat people have a huge breakthroughs.
