We all have stressful periods in our lives. A lot of us are walking around unconsciously holding stress in our bodies. It’s slowly eating away at our insides and at some point we suffer the consequences. I’m going to introduce you to the 60 second anti-stress exercise. Once you have rehearsed this a few times you will be able to significantly reduce your stress levels whenever you need.

Now, the important thing here is to note that this is a form of self-hypnosis … not in the ’spooky swinging-watch look-into-my-eyes’ type … but of the type that changes your internal state to something different to that of stress. (Shhhhh …. shifting state is one of the key secrets of hypnosis!)

So how do you change state in 60 seconds? You’ll have to rehearse a bit but the key is to immerse yourself in a real or imagined memory of something pleasant … not as an intellectual thing, but as a full sensory remembering.

Try the following:

1. Make sure you are in a calm, non-disturbed environment (at least when you start-off to practice this).
2. Close your eyes and recall a time when you experienced a wonderful feeling of release … perhaps walking in the hills one summer afternoon or when you first met you’re future partner and …
3. Imagine that you can see the scenario from a birds-eye point-of-view and as you do, float down into the ‘you’ in that scenario and look through the eyes of that person … as if you were there.
4. Run the scene in your imagination as a movie … as if you were there.
5. See things in color and as you do, recall any sounds that were there … sounds that you can hear now in this scene you are participating in.
6. Begin to notice those great feelings you are experiencing as you ‘re-live’ the scene and let them amplify through you.
7. Bask in the imagined memory, first person, surround sound, with the feeling you felt then welling through you in the present.
8. And open your eyes, taking a deep breath as you do so.

You should have quite dramatically changed your state by doing the above exercise. Learning how to hypnotize yourself isn’t as difficult as you might imagine! Practice it. Try different memories. Make up some fantasy imaginings if that works. Try out a few different imaginary scenarios and work out which one most improves your stress levels when used in the above exercise.

Make a promise to yourself to become more aware of when you are holding onto stress and use that as a trigger to do the exercise.

A few of the anxiety symptoms test questions may seem trivial and unimportant. However, they are designed that way to form a complete picture. Ticking yes to one or two questions may not seem overly serious but it depends on which questions you have ticked.

Take the question “Do you frequently feel irritated”, well don’t we all frequently feel irritated? But stick it together with a “yes” for the question about racing heartbeat & shortness of breath & you may well have a problem.

Do you actually know what an anxiety or panic attack really is? Let me tell you it’s one of the most frightening things I’ve experienced. And it’s not even me suffering from them! I happened to be in a car with my wife driving while she had an anxiety attack.

I sure wish we’d had the opportunity to know beforehand by taking a panic disorder symptoms test. Sadly we had to find out with a full blown attack.

I’m not lying when I say it was one of my scariest moments. I had never in forty odd years seen anything like this anxiety attack my wife was in the grip of. “In the grip of” is a good description as well. It was like two giant invisible hands were crushing her.

I reckon millions of people don’t even realise they are having a panic attack, but they are. There are different levels of anxiety attacks but it still boils down to a panic attack. It’s not all doom and gloom as they can be easily conquered no matter how bad.

We saw a handful of doctors who all had a similar viewpoint. They’d repeatedly say there’s nothing to worry about, that it’s all in her head. I’ve seen these attacks and there is definitely something to fear if you don’t know how to stop them.

I could care less whether it’s in your head or not. If you are having an attack you certainly know about it. A few symptoms to keep an eye out for are underneath. If you recognize one or two then you could be at risk. You may need to act fast if you think you have symptoms of anxiety attacks. Better to act now than wait for a life threatening attack.

Do you seem to worry a lot Worrying more than normal can be a sure sign you may be leading up to having an attack.
