Each New Year I give myself the goal of living the best year of my life by reducing my stress levels. See below the three word stress mantra I use regularly to do this. Reflect on the previous year, relax your mind and body and and renew your spirit.

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. I got out my iPod that has some great binaural beat relaxation music on it and got myself in a nice, warm, comfortable position, closed my eyes and turned it on. I did feel a little better by the end so I played one of the tracks again. Now I really felt the benefit and I was able to go out that night not fearing that I would have a panic attack. If you ever have had a panic attack you will realize exactly how I felt when I had the control back. Relaxation music and especially ones that have binaural beats really work for me in an emergency and I was so glad that I had taken my iPod that weekend and I know it will be the first thing I pack in the future. I am fortunate that I have learned slow breathing techniques which assists the relaxation process and combined with the music I know that I can bring my stress levels down fairly quickly. I know I will have to make sure that I include other relaxation methods in my daily life and not neglect my nerves in the future or it will happen again and I don’t want that. The weekend could have been ruined for me but instead I had a lovely break by the sea before starting another stressful experience of starting a new job. Oh the music I have downloaded is Slow Down and Relax which is 20 minutes and Manifestation (for positive thinking) which is 30 minutes and of course I have the 10 minute sample.
Learning how to relax fully can take a while to master but if you stop, and take a minute to breathe deeply during your busy day, then you will feel you will be more relaxed. Its worth a try isn’t it? YOU are worth it! Its easy, doesn’t cost you a cent, and if you remember to practice each day then you will also get the extra benefit of exercising your lungs. People who suffer from panic attack often shallow breathe so training yourself to take deep breaths has got to be a great technique for helping you manage panic. The image above is bold and bright for a reason, so you can take note and apply its message. So, sit back take a deep breath and relax. Related articles
The way we react to bad stress is different for each person. I know when I’m stressed, I race around, drink lots of coffee and talk at a hundred miles an hour. My best friend though just retreats and finds comfort in food and a good red wine. You can see that we both handle stress very differently. I probably fall into what is called a hyper personality when I’m stressed and I have found aromatherapy and Bach Flower Remedies |

work well for me. When I realize my bad stress levels going up I then also watch what I am eating and cut down on the caffeine. I also slow my mind down with meditation.
