The secret anxiety solution –Vitamin B Complex

Vitamin B Complex supports healthy nervous system function and strengthens the body to help during periods of stress and anxiety. Vitamin B complex contains eight B vitamins as well as a couple of other related substances. The eight vitamins are thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3),pyridoxine (B6), cyanocobalamin (B12), folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin. The other related substances that can also be in the B complex vitamin include choline bitartrate, inositol and vitamins C and E. I must say here that I am a great fan of inositol for anxiety relief as I know it works for me.

Every part of this complex vitamin has it’s own exclusive purpose but it is when they work together as the Vitamin B Complex that it offers important maintenance for the body to remain healthy. The B vitamin complex contains B vitamins which are water-soluble and it is important that enough of these vitamins are consumed on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins such as this one and this leads to a frequent intake being required.

Review of Panic Away

Panic Away is a digital course in the form of an eBook and is written by Joe Barry. The fact that it sells in the form of a down loadable eBook means you can start right away without waiting for a physical product to arrive in the post. It is based on a natural technique to help you stop panic attacks and get rid of anxiety once and for all.

The course is based on cognitive behavioral techniques which in my opinion is the best method to conquer panic. Barry being a former sufferer has developed this One Move Technique which doesn’t involve baking any medications,is a natural one which is one of the things I like most about it and is written in simple language I can understand.

Reduce Stress –Take a Vacation

I recommend a vacation to reduce stress in your life. I have just been on a 10 day vacation to a beach side destination and I must say it has made me feel a new person.

I love the ocean and the waves are so relaxing. Sitting on the sand watching the tide come in and go out is what I use to center my thoughts for stress relief and as also as a meditation technique.

You don’t have to go anywhere though to get the same results if you have a relaxation tape with ocean sounds, a nice cool breeze and a sun lounge to lie in but experiencing the real thing now and then is fabulous I must admit.

Pick a vacation location where life moves at a slower pace. Relax and don’t crowd too many activities into a day. Read that book you bought ages ago but never had the time to before.

Get some good quality sleep. Go to bed early and get up late. Have a nap in the afternoon if possible. Lay in a sun lounge (in the shade) and have 40 winks.

Walk along the beach,swim in the ocean or hotel pool. Nothing makes you sleep better than exercise during the day. Don’t forget that you are aiming to reduce stress in your life.

OK I can hear you saying you can’t afford a vacation. If so then why not do it all in your mind. I often will walk along the beach in my mind. Take a day to do nothing but rest,revive and reduce your stress. You are worth it!

Watch your stress levels or they will sneak up on you

I control my anxiety and subsequent panic attacks by keeping my stress levels down. This can be a challenge as you don’t always know that stress and anxiety are building until it is too late and you are showing signs like,in my case,talking quickly,being agitated and getting upset at small things.

I had recently finished a job and was starting another and in between we were having a few days break at the coast. The time just beforehand had been stressful but I was now looking forward to the new job starting. A few days break away was what I needed.

I didn’t realize how stressed I really was until we got to our destination. I thought at first I was a little car sick but after a few hours I knew that it really was anxiety. Maybe all that stress that was built up just needed to release. I didn’t want it to ruin my weekend.

Read the facts on smoking and anxiety

Smoking is something I thankfully never did take up and according to new research about smoking and anxiety, it has been found that smokers are at a much greater risk of having anxiety attacks. A study that was done in the United States out of Columbia University studied anxiety attacks among teens in New York. It was found that there is a connection between teenage smokers and their emotional health especially in regard to anxiety attacks.

Smoking is a habit that almost always begins in youth,usually before age 16 so these teens had their first interview when they were 16 years of age and again when they became 22 years old. Those who smoked at least 20 cigarettes daily were 16 times more likely to suffer regular anxiety attacks and panic and more than 5 times as likely to suffer from some form of personality disorder.

Overcoming panic attacks

Moving on after panic | living a normal life

I really cant say that I am cured from,and that I have succeeded in overcoming panic attacks. If I let my anxiety levels rise then it is a possibility that I may have another panic attack. The difference is now that I don’t fear it. I know how to work through it.

dont panic

Overcoming panic attacks hasnt been a quick fix for me and I dont think too many people can say that it has been for them either. I worked on it,and as I have said in previous posts,I took one step at a time and now I feel I have succeeded.

Looking at life through positive eyes has been something that I have to work at but I am much better at it now than I was in the beginning. It’s like anything that has been a habit,it takes time to change. Life has opened up to me again and I am happy,which is probably a result of that positive outlook.
