"Coping With Anxiety , Ones Believe, I've got to get control of myself"

At the root is higher-than-normal levels of anxiety. With normal levels, a person faced with an everyday stressful event is able to handle it without too much problems because the overall increased anxiety levels are still within normal limits.

Someone with higher-than-normal general anxiety is already near the limit so that an everyday stressor can raise the overall anxiety level way over the limit. When this happens you're unconscious mind perceives this as a dangerous situation and, rather than take any chances, switches to it's 'fight or flight' mode.

What are the symptoms of an anxiety attack?

The most common symptoms are: hyperventilation, overwhelming panic, hot flashes / chills, heart palpitations, fear of dying, trouble breathing, dizziness, trembling, tightness in chest and throat, stomach cramps, choking sensation, sweating, nausea and a feeling of 'detachment.'

Coping With Anxiety Attacks

Anxiety attacks usually peak within 10 minutes of their commencement, and, they rarely last more than 30 minutes. The key is to always remember that the symptoms are just your body's reaction to a 'perceived' danger that isn't there at all; a false alarm. They cannot harm you. Here are 5 natural ways of coping with anxiety attacks...

(1) THINK POSITIVELY

During an attack repeat to yourself that it's a false alarm and that you aren't having a seizure or heart attack. Take back control. Absolutely face the symptoms head-on by repeating that you know how they occur and that they will disappear. The more positive you are the quicker they'll go away.

(2) TALK TO A TRUSTED FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER

If you can explain to someone you trust what you are feeling, their understanding and feedback can help a lot. By bringing out your emotions and feelings with a trusted friend or family member, you are unburdening your negative thoughts and feelings rather than keeping them to yourself and having them fester.

(3) RELAX BY USING CONTROLLED BREATHING

It's important to relax as much as possible during an anxiety attack. This can be very hard to do because the symptoms are just so frightening. During an attack you will be breathing way too fast. This builds up oxygen and upsets the oxygen / carbon dioxide balance. By concentrating on slow, rhythmic breathing you'll begin to slow your heartbeat, re-balance oxygen / carbon dioxide, relax tense muscles and calm your mind.

(4) EXERCISE DAILY

It should be no surprise to see this here. It is well known that daily exercise improves your body and mind. It has been proved that 30 minutes of good exercise daily can reduce stress and anxiety. And it can improve your immune system making you healthier, and, the healthier you are the less likely to fall pray to anxiety attacks.

(5) ELIMINATE YOUR 'FEAR' OF ANXIETY ATTACKS

Whether you are aware of it or not, your fear of having another anxiety attack is the one thing that is holding back your cure. This is because you fear is continually building on your high levels of general anxiety, driving you ever closer to the limit past which an anxiety attack can be triggered. In other words your 'fear' itself can cause you to have anxiety attacks. You need to get rid of your fear and break that anxiety cycle in order to prevent anxiety attacks in the future.

Names such as: Ones, are the:, Perfectionist, Reformer, Judge, Crusader, Critic are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.

We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.

The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.

No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society. You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”

People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.

The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.

Why aren’t all people with a given Temperament Type successful?

You probably know a bunch of people with the same Temperament Type. Why are some successful and others are not. Why the difference? The difference is Emotional Intelligence. We use Emotional Quotient. (EQ) as a shorthand to describe Emotional Intelligence.

A person may have a high IQ. They did well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. They may even be in MENSA, the select high-IQ club and still fail in business and relationships. Why are they not successful?

The answer:

Your IQ determines 20 % of your success, which leaves 80% to other forces. This is stated by Daniel Goleman the Author of “Emotional Intelligence.”

A person with a high IQ does not mean they know how to manage their thoughts and feelings any more successfully than a person with a low IQ. Success requires taking the emotional data, making sense of that data, and integrating it into your decision-making. People with higher EQ does this better.

By increasing your EQ you can use your thoughts and emotions of your Temperament Type to make the best possible decisions. Increased EQ help you get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others.

EQ challenges the conventional belief that emotions are in the way of good decisions. By increasing your EQ it is possible to learn how to use your emotions to make better decisions. By increasing your EQ, it is possible to increase your wisdom and energy required for high performance. The Increasing your EQ is a teachable life skill. If people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathetic manager and a more empathetic father
