Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Action Replay

Action Replay

Do you dwell on events that have already happened and make yourself feel bad?

Maybe you play over the things that didn’t go so well or even start to imagine that maybe you said or did something wrong.

And as you replay all those not so great moments you can start to feel bad within yourself and about yourself. You may even project it forward and feel anxious about the next time you are in such a situation or around those same people.

If you are fed up of using your imagination to make you feel bad then do this:

Did You Inherit Your Anxiety?

Did You Inherit Your Anxiety?

According to a recent study, depression and anxiety could be inherited. According to the researchers, the brain function that underlies anxiety is inherited from your parents.

Some of the headlines seemed to suggest that people with anxiety should just shrug their shoulders, accept that they inherited their anxiety and wait for more research to lead to some pills they can take. After all, if anxiety is hereditary then what are you going to do about it? It’s just your lot.

However, reading beyond the headlines, the research does go on to indicate that there is plenty of room for experience and environment to have a say in whether you develop a full blown anxiety disorder. In fact, the research seems to suggest that only about a third of anxiety related tendancies could be explained by family history. 

So it seems you can’t just go and point at your mother and father and say “it’s all your fault!”

You Are Feeling Sleepy!!!

You Are Feeling Sleepy!!!

Do you have trouble switching off at night and letting go of the day, when all you want to do is get to sleep and get some rest?

If you struggle with anxiety and stress, you may well struggle with sleep – it’s like in those quiet moments when you aren’t distracted and keeping yourself busy, your mind decides to run through all the things you’ve been feeling anxious and worried about. The more you think about them, the more agitated, frustrated and awake you become.

Recently, a pretty incredible number of people have been telling me that they now use my free rapid relaxation audio to get to sleep or help them get back to sleep if they wake up in the night.

The Bad News Daily

Have you subscribed to the Bad News Daily?

Are you spending your day focussing on all the things that aren’t how you want them to be in your life – on all the worries, stresses and bad news in your life, other people’s lives and in the world?

When you feel anxious, it’s easy to focus on all the worries.

And the more you focus on them, the worse you feel. It becomes a self-feeding cycle and it may even feel like you have to find something to worry about.

Teacher Anxiety & Stress Right Up There

Teacher Anxiety & Stress Right Up There

I often work with teachers (trainee, primary and college) to help them take control over their anxiety and stress levels.

From what they tell me about the workload, assessments, constant changes, long hours and demands from all directions, it isn’t too hard to understand how all those demands and stresses can build up to breaking point.

In fact, a recent report by the University of Manchester’s Business School has gone as far as to name teaching as one of the top three most stressful occupations, with endemic levels of stress, anxiety and depression.  

And I think it’s pretty unlikely that the culture of testing, constant change and the demands from policymakers, other staff and parents are likely to disappear anytime soon. As well as how bad stress and anxiety make you feel, that feeling you can’t cope can impact on your home life, sleep, confidence and health.

So what can be done about teacher stress and anxiety?

Finding Peace From Anxiety

Finding Peace From Anxiety

Are you a tightly wound up ball of anxiety? Do you struggle to switch your mind off and get some peace?

If you have anxiety then you will crave a sense of peace and calmness – both physically and mentally. You may feel like your mind never switches off and your anxiety may leave you feeling exhausted. 

Anxiety can create its own self supporting loops – you feel anxious and your mind fills with worries, what ifs and worst case scenarios. Thinking of these then makes you feel more anxious, and leads to more of those worries. It can then ripple into your appetite, cutting back or stopping things you used to enjoy, lying awake at night and can impact on friendships, relationships and at work.

And all you really want is a few moments of peace and freedom from all that anxiety.

Are you putting yourself last?

Are you putting yourself last?

Are you standing at the back of the queue?

I often work with people who have a habit of putting everyone else first and themselves last. And after a while, everyone else starts to put them at the back of the queue as well.

If you do this too, you may find yourself frantically running around feeling anxious, stressed and frustrated.

Is it Anxiety or Depression?

Is it Anxiety or Depression?

For many clients, working out which came first, the anxiety or the depression, can see a bit like chicken and egg.

Are you depressed because anxiety rules your life and stops you doing the things you want to do? For example, one recent client I helped used to suffer very low moods in the summer while everyone went on holiday and she felt trapped at home, too worried about having a panic attack to venture too far.

Or is your anxiety part of your depression – a fear of the future, or feeling so bad or living with a sense of doom or lack of self worth. Many people with depression constantly worry and dwell about things in the past and things yet to happen.

But whether you have anxiety or depression (or both) – whatever label you or someone else has given it – the key question is always, how is this thing manifiesting itself now and how is it keeping itself going?

Stop Anxious Scenarios

Stop Anxious Scenarios

If you struggle with anxiety then will be all too familiar with all those ‘what-if’ scenarios you run through your mind. And the more you think about all those worst case scenarios, the more anxious you feel – leading to even more vivid scenarios flowing through your mind.

And whilst you may be able to sometimes distract yourself or stay busy to keep the anxiety at bay, sooner or later, maybe in a quiet moment or whilst you are trying to sleep, these anxious scenarios keep coming back.

You may feel like all you want to do is stop your mind thinking for a while to give you some peace. Using the technique below will give you that peace by ending all those worries about the future and bringing you back to right now.

Stop Others Controlling How You Feel

Stop Others Controlling How You Feel

Do you find that some people seem to be able to make you feel anxious or nervous? 

The more you have that anxiety, the more it seems to fire off even when you logically know there is no need. 

Recently a client told me about someone at his work who drove him up the wall – just the sound of his colleague’s voice would automatically make him tense up and feel anxious and on edge. And any interactions with that person would bug him for hours after and often long into the night.

When he came to see me he was sick of feeling out of control of his own thoughts and feelings.

Here’s what he did and you can too if you want to successfully break that cycle.
