How To Reduce Your Stress With Laughter

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Too much stress can make it seem like everything in your life is piling up and weighing you down. There are many remedies - both prescription and herbal - but one of the simplest therapies for stress is something that has been used for generations. What is this therapy? Laughter. As crazy as it sounds, laughter is nature’s way of helping us relax and get rid of tension.

Laughter works in a few ways to ease stress. First, it helps relieve the physical signs of stress and anxiety. Laughter can actually help to reduce the amount of stress hormones like cortisol in our blood.

It also gives us a sort of “mini” workout - releasing hormones that make us feel happier. Lastly, it helps to boost our immune system, helping us be better prepared to fight stress when it shows its ugly face.

Laughter is also an emotional release for stress. Our bodies were designed to physically release emotions through things such as laughter and crying. Laughter helps to release some of the negative emotions as well as the positive ones. You have to admit, it’s pretty hard to feel down about something when you’re laughing about something.

In many situation, laughter can also promote social bonding with friends, family, coworkers, etc. Closer bonds help us to have better relationships which in turn can lead to less stress.

So what do you do if you just don’t feel like laughing? Do it anyway. That’s right, even if you don’t feel like laughing, forced laughter can have some of the same affects even if you don’t really think there is something funny to laugh at.

Beyond relieving stress, laughter has also been shown to help boost your immune system, help you eat less, help you heal faster and increase your threshold for pain. Whether it means renting one of your favorite comedy movies or just forcing a laugh every now and then, you can start laughing your way to less stress.

Anxiety Motivation

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

What happens when you feel like you are spinning out of control?

For 2 months I have not been able to keep up the motivation I had to keep on my weight loss program and do my techniques to end anxiety.

I think about what needs to be done and I have all the good intentions but nothing is coming of it all.

I had a talk with myself this morning and realized I have not been listening to my own inner voice.

I discovered why this was happening after I had been doing all the best things for myself.

The information has been all around me and I have been blocking it out.

My mind has not been open for some reason and I had the feeling I was slipping back into the patterns of nearly 3 years ago when I was 66pounds heavier and not motivated and living with isolation and depression.

To have to look at myself under the microscope and admit that somewhere along the way everyone and everything else was getting my attention and I had forgotten about myself.

I even started getting chest pain and had to use the nitro spray to get the pain to subside.

I was working myself up into a frenzy because I was disappointed in the weight I was gaining, the food I was not properly eating and the negative attitude I was developing.

I looked at the programs and the techniques I had been using and felt sad because it all seemed to be slipping away in a big hurry.

It was as if once the backward slide began it took on a momentum go its own and felt like an avalanche of all my work getting buried beneath a pile of overwhelming sadness and let us face it, laziness.

It is easy to claim a loss of motivation but I had to go deeper than that.

Once I had let other people, problems and events take over my life again I could not get back to my own needs.

It was a case of slipping back into my old self and the comfortable place where I did not have to work hard at improving my life.

I got to look at all the information I had laying around about my previous heart attack and all the things I was supposed to be doing.

For example, exercising, eating the best foods and portions as well as working on the stress elimination process.

The stress part is in my mind the most important because if I can manage that the rest will follow.

I did not know how fast and easily the old habits could return if I forgot about myself.

Let me say that today I did not over eat and I exercised.

I also listened to the music I enjoy and now am feeling the stress begin to lessen.

I also visualized the way I was succeeding and feeling before I lost the motivation and I am getting back on track.

I do not want to be overweight again this summer.

This is a motivator for me as I worked so hard to get those pounds off and at the time I made a promise to myself that this would be the last time I was ever going to be heavy.

It was important to my self-esteem how I was looking and it had benefits to my heart as well.

I say all this to let you know we are human and along with our failings come knowledge and the self-power to change.

I needed to open up my mind to what was really bothering me in order to return to my quest to lead an anxiety free life.

How To Spot Anxiety Problems

Friday, October 5th, 2007

At one point or another, nearly 1 out of every 60 people suffer from anxiety. Although it is not always properly identified, it is important to have a full understanding of the variety of causes of anxiety, as well as how they are identified.

In today’s society, there are many things that can cause anxiety. Anxiety is more prevalent today due to things like financial and work matters and the instability of the world we live in.

Financial problems are one of the most common causes of anxiety. With easy access to credit cards, people often find themselves buried in debt. For many, this type of debt can be very serious and can cause severe anxiety and stress problems.

Relationships, whether they are work related or personal, are also very common causes of anxiety. With the divorce rate being higher than ever, more and more people find themselves dealing with anxiety. Both the breakdown of the marriage and the aftermath, contribute to higher anxiety levels.

Another common trigger of anxiety is work. Many employees find they do not have job security and work in a volatile environment. Today’s companies are trying to perform more tasks, with fewer employees. Therefore, employees find they have a heavier workload, thereby causing more anxiety and stress.

Some common anxiety symptoms are:

- Little or no sex drive
- Unable to concentrate
- Little or no appetite
- Overall restlessness
- Feeling like you are being judged or watched
- Withdrawing from social settings
- Muscle tension and stress

These are just a few of the more common anxiety symptoms. However, if anxiety is left untreated, more several symptoms can occur. Therefore, the earlier you get help for your anxiety, the easier it is to deal with it. If left untreated, emotional and physical illnesses can occur.

If you believe you have anxiety, be sure to speak with you doctor. He can then properly diagnose you and determine the best and most effective course of action for you.

Raising Children With High Functioning Autism

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

If your child has been diagnosed with high functioning autism, parenting can be a challenge. The main reason is because autistics do not think and mentally develop the same way as the average child, and so must be taught individually and differently. Therefore, the challenge is finding out what parenting methods work for your autistic child. Essentially, it’s a lot of trial and error.

Raising a child with high functioning autism can be made easier by providing children with the necessary therapy they require. However, aside from therapy, the following are 5 basic parenting tips that may prove helpful along the way:

Tip 1 - Create Schedules – Most autistics, including those with high functioning autism, resist change and insist on routine. Creating schedules helps autistic children to better comprehend situations and learn. You need to provide your child with a daily schedule that shows him/her the order of activities they will experience. If your child has difficulty reading, create a picture schedule.

Furthermore, telling a child in advance that an activity is about to change, helps to create an easier transition for them. For instance, tell your child “In 5 minutes, we’re going to stop coloring and read a story”.

Tip 2 - Create understanding – Make sure your child understands what you want him/her to do. Ensure that the task you are asking is achievable and you understand the specific way in which your child learns and reacts to information told to him/her.

For instance, you should refrain from using figures of speech as part of instruction. A figure of speech is when you use an expression that has a non-literal meaning (IE. metaphors, similes, etc.) This form of language will be lost on an autistic. Thus, a better choice would be to use a visual aid such as a picture or a demonstration, to clarify the task.

Tip 3 – Create a personalized behavior plan – You can’t rely on the parenting methods that work for parents with regular children, or even those who have a child with high functioning autism. You need to create a program that is specifically oriented around the interests and needs of your child. This means analyzing your child’s behavior and creating a personal program based on his/her behavioral patterns. This is how you will eventually get your child to learn, respond and interact with others.

Tip 4 – Focus on improvement – Instead of trying to explain to your child what you don’t like when they do something you deem inappropriate or unproductive, focus on improving their behavior. If you want to improve on past behaviors, teach new “acceptable” ones to replace the old.

Teaching new behavioral skills will take plenty of time, patience and practice, but eventually the new acceptable behaviors will replace those you don’t approve of.

Tip 5 – Sensitivity alert! – Make sure you are aware of the triggers that will upset your child, so you can do your best to ensure they are avoided. Some issues that tend to upset those with high functioning autism include, but are not limited to:

• Sudden loud sounds (IE. alarms)
• Unusual smells in a particular room
• Discomfort when touched
• Being bumped

Although you can’t ensure your child will always be safe from sensitive issues, by knowing what they are helps you to have more control. Like any child, the less stress your autistic child has, the more productive they will be.

Remember, as a parent of a child with high functioning autism, you need to learn how to go with the flow, be creative, patient - and above all – maintain a positive attitude.

What to Do After an Autism Diagnosis for Your Child

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

If you’re child has received an autism diagnosis, you may feel like all of the hopes and dreams you had for your child’s future have ended. These feelings of guilt, grief and fear are normal for parents when they first discover their child is autistic. However, you need to know that you’re not alone and there is help out there for both you and your child.

To help you cope with the autism diagnosis, the following are 10 guidelines for you to take into consideration:

1. Don’t Panic – Feeling overwhelmed is natural at first, but this drowning feeling will pass. You need to remember autism - although a challenging condition - is not a life threatening illness. Autism isn’t the end of the world; take the time to calm down and rationally think things through.

2. Your child is still the same – An autism diagnosis doesn’t mean your child is any different than he/she was prior to your knowledge of his/her condition. A diagnosis has only provided you with the chance to better understand your child, so you can provide him/her with the support that will allow him/her to have the best life. The love you have for your child and all the good you see in him or her will remain their forever. No diagnosis can change that.

3. Educate yourself – Find out everything there is to know about autism. You can find information in books and articles in your local library, bookstore and online. The internet is a fantastic resource for autism.

4. Ask questions – don’t forget to address any questions or concerns you may have with your doctor.

5. Find out what your child needs – Depending on the type of autism diagnosis your child receives he/she may have many or few special needs. Carefully analyze your child’s behaviors and discuss them with your doctor to determine the best course of action for treating the issue. For instance, does your child have sensory problems? Speech delays? Social deficits? Etc.

6. Find out what is available – Just because you discover what your child needs, doesn’t mean you’ll have immediate access to the therapies required, or even know how to work them into your lifestyle if they are available. . You also need to find out if your medial insurance will cover any of the therapies your child will need. Once you have everything sorted out, you can begin to set up a program that can meet your needs.

7. Stick to basic therapies – When you research therapies, you will discover that there are numerous treatments. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, focus on the basic therapies that are readily available, appropriate to your child, and funded. The basics usually include speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. There may also be therapies offered within schools.

8. Introduce treatment slowly – Remember, most therapies are a slow process that take weeks or even months until you begin to see a difference in your child. Therefore, try not to introduce too many therapies after the autism diagnosis. When you take it slow you are able to observe how your child responds to each, and determine what is successful and what isn’t.

9. Relax – The wellbeing of your child is important, but so is yours and the rest of your family. It’s imperative that you find ways to relieve your stress, take breaks, and enjoy your own life. You will be able to better care for your autistic child when you are well rested.

10. You’re not alone – There are many autism support groups you can join both locally and online after receiving an autism diagnosis. Talking to other parents with autistic children, and hearing and sharing your experiences can be very helpful and therapeutic to you and your child.

Adult ADD: Organizing the Outside?

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

If you have ADD, you probably need to control what’s going on around you because there’s so much going on inside. Non-ADD people don’t understand this, and when it comes to a relationship partner, the need for this control may come across as jealousy and domination. That’s not good, and not too many partners would put up with this behavior trait. So, how can ADD people who fall into this trap adjust so there is no miscommunication?

If you have ADD you may like to know where your partner is going to be during the day, what his or her plans are. Do you find yourself asking partners, “Wait, what are you doing?” “Where are you going?” or something similar? This may cause them to feel as though you’re just trying to stop them from doing what they want to do, and that you’re being nosy. Everyone, ADD or no, male or female, has to have some personal space.

But there’s a reason you may want to know these things.

ADD people, in general, like to know what the people around them are doing and when, so that they don’t feel like there’s this chaotic movement going on around them. They need to know that there’s ordered movement going on around them and they can know what to expect.

If you can explain to your partner, he or she may realize, “Well… there’s somebody who cares about what I’m doing all day and who cares about me enough to know what’s going on with me.” They may be able to understand your ADD better from that perspective.

Maybe they can give you an overview of what they’re planning for the day, in general terms. That may make you feel better. For instance, your husband may say to you, “I’m going to play golf today.” But most golf outings involve more than just playing golf. Maybe he’s planning to have a drink with his golfing partners after the game, or perhaps he’s dropping off dry cleaning or having a haircut while he’s out, too. But by not making him cough up every little detail, he doesn’t feel like he’s “reporting in,” and you feel better because you’re just thinking about him playing golf.

Every now and then, though, there will be times when your partner will say, “Okay, this morning, I need some free time where I’m going to just go do whatever I want and you’re not going to be able to know what I’m doing and you’re not going to be able to ask me because I need that freedom today. I know that will be a challenge for you, but I really appreciate it ahead of time that you’re going to deal with that.” You have to accept that, and you have to agree that you won’t interrupt until a specified time. But your partner should also try not to leave things open-ended. “Okay, I need a free morning,” will probably drive you nuts. If you help them to see what the ADD-induced problem is, and they care for you, they’ll already know that and try to be cooperative.

But you really need to separate these ADD issues out. You need to make your non-ADD partner understand what having ADD means. You’re not trying to be nosy, controlling, and manipulative. And that’s going to be a fairly hard row to hoe, until your partner understands ADD. Simply say, “Okay… In an ADD-er’s mind, there’s chaotic activity. When something just happens and the ADD person is interrupted, it’s very upsetting.” It all boils down to anxiety, and ADD people just end up being all anxiety-ridden over what’s coming next.

The way people with ADD deal with situations like this is by over-thinking—and for a lot of people with ADD this turns into things like jealousy and it turns into things like being paranoid. Things go way over the edge when you allow your mind to just go crazy trying to figure out where someone is, what they’re doing, and et cetera. The way to solve that is when you have one of these planned chunks of time, you just do something that you already are able to hyperfocus on. Do something you’re already obsessed with.

This allows your brain something entirely off-topic to fixate and focus on so you just don’t need to think about it. It’s very simple and it gives everybody the freedom that they need to do what they want to do.

Best Anxiety Depression Medication- Find The Best Anxiety Depression Medication That Works

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Scientists believe that anxiety and depression sufferers are more prone to heart disease. This article will reveal the studies being undertaken to find out why, how to know whether you are at risk, how to find the best anxiety depression medication that’s right for you, and your chance of healing anxiety depression forever.

The British Heart Foundation is investigating how depression and stress damages blood vessels, thus resulting in a higher risk of suffering from heart disease. Heart disease remains the biggest killer in the US and the UK. A team at the University of Wales College of Medicine is looking into the theory that our body’s inability to cope with stress and depression may be contributing to the onset of heart disease.

A spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation has gone on the record to state “people with less control over their work, and those who are depressed or have an angry personality are at a greater risk of coronary heart disease”.

Anxiety depression symptoms express moods that are familiar to everybody. However, when anxiety and depression last for weeks without any sign of relief and start affecting every day activities then it is much more than a mood, it is now an illness and it is important that anxiety and depression medication be considered by the sufferer.

Anxiety and depression are some of the most common psychological illnesses in today’s society. People who suffer from anxiety may exhibit several physical anxiety depression symptoms like sweating, muscle aches, nausea, fatigue, dry mouth, clammy hands. They may also suffer from feelings of irritability, impending doom, apprehension, plus being very conscious of being watched by other people and being watched. These debilitating anxiety symptoms often cause sufferers to remain house bound and isolated from other people around them. Thankfully it is possible to find the best anxiety depression medication that will put these anxiety symptoms at bay.

Depression, on the other side of the coin, is such a debilitating medical condition that it impacts on virtually every aspect of a sufferer’s life. It affects the way a person sleeps, eats, the way the person thinks about themselves and the way the person thinks about everything around them. A person who suffers from a depressive disorder usually can’t pull themselves together overnight and just feel instantaneously better the next day. Anxiety depression symptoms may be feeling sad, anxious all day every day, feeling hopeless and pessimistic and having no interest in hobbies or activities that once gave the person a lot of joy. There can also be significant appetite and weight changes and ongoing physical symptoms of chronic pain, headaches and digestive disorders. Persons who suffer from depression can have severe and extreme mood swings - the most extreme feeling being the desire to end one’s own life. For this reason it is absolutely critical that a depression sufferer look for the best anxiety depression medication and urgent psychological help without delay.

Anxiety and depression, although some of the most common disorders in the world, are actually the most treatable mental conditions too.

There are several anti-anxiety medications that are available today. The best anxiety and depression medications (most preferred) are Benzodiazepines such as Valium, Xanax/Zanex, and Ativan. Aside from the Benzodiazepines, other anxiety and depression medications, like Buspirone, Beta-blockers, and Gabapentin are sometimes also taken to treat anxiety and depression.

Aside from Benzodiazepines, among the other anxiety medications are Buspirone, Tricylic, Antidepressants, or SSRIs, are also the preferred medications (best anxiety and depression medications) for most anxiety disorders, rarely for specific reasons.

One of the following best anxiety and depression medications may be prescribed: Antipsychotic medications, Antihistamines, like Atarax, Vistaril, and others; Barbiturates, such as Phenobarbital, and Beta-blockers, like Propranolol.

All of these anxiety and depression medications help relieve anxiety and depression and must be prescribed by health professionals. It’s important to see a doctor to find out the best anxiety and depression medication that’s right for you. One anxiety and depression medication that may work for your neighbour may not work for you. Also one anxiety and depression medication that should work for you may have significant side effects if taken with another medication that you take. For this reason an anxiety and depression sufferer can’t decide on their own what is the best anxiety and depression medication. The best anxiety and depression medication is a subjective thing and must be tailored to each individual.

Ultimately a person who suffers anxiety and depression puts his body at risk to suffer from more serious conditions like heart disease. It is important that anxiety and depression feelings and symptoms are not treated lightly or swept under the carpet by the sufferer and their family and friends. Anxiety and depression is one of the most common mental conditions in the world and also one of the most treatable and curable. Sufferers do not have to live with anxiety and depression for life. Life is far too short and there are too many anxiety and depression medications and treatments at hand to improve their quality of life, so why short-change yourself and your life.

Instead decide to live life free from anxiety and depression, starting today.
