Posted on March 28th, 2010 by admin

When you have health anxiety and you develop a physical symptom that worries you, it’s understandable that you want to tell someone and have then reassure you that it’s nothing serious.

But problems can develop when you do this too often with friends and family members.

Self Help For Panic Attacks, Part #4

Posted on March 26th, 2010 by admin

The key is to turn your negative suggestion thinking into positive suggestion thinking. So instead of the thought “Don’t have a panic attack,” which in your head becomes “Have a panic attack,” you can think something more along the lines of, “I’ll be okay,” or “This will pass and I’ll be fine again.” Notice in those last two thoughts that there are no concealed negative suggestions hiding in there.
Now that you’re aware of the destructive nature of negative suggestions, you’ll discover that you experience them on a very frequent basis. But now that you know how to recognize them, you will be able to nip them in the bud, and eventually be able to cut them out of your thoughts completely.
This simple reorganizing of your thoughts is an incredibly powerful strategy, and one of the most beneficial panic attack self help concepts that you should make a part of your life from this point on.

What To do To Beat OCD, Part #3

Posted on March 25th, 2010 by admin

But in this “confrontation-style” therapy, you force yourself not to perform your compulsive behaviour.
To begin with, you would only do this for a minute or two, and then you would allow yourself to give into the compulsion. And then, slowly but surely, in baby step increments, you prolong the period of time when you force yourself not to act on your desire to perform your compulsive behaviour.
Over time, you should begin to find that you can go longer and longer without needing to perform your compulsive behaviour in response to your obsessive thoughts.
This realization (that you are no longer a prisoner to your thoughts, and that you can handle your obsessive thoughts for longer and longer periods of time) is often single-handedly responsible for amazing stories of recovery from even the most severe cases of OCD.
Try this approach yourself, and you may find that obsessive-compulsive disorder self help can be successful, after all.

One of the few approaches with a proven track-record in beating obsessive-compulsive disorder in based on confronting the obsessions that cause the vicious circle of obsession/compulsion/panic.

After all, it makes sense to go after the root-cause of your OCD, and that will almost always be your obsessive thoughts.

The idea of exposing yourself to your obsessive thoughts simply means that you consciously and willingly think the thoughts you know will turn into obsessions, or you put yourself in a situation where you know the obsessive thoughts are likely to flare up.

Once your obsessive thoughts have started up, you will obviously want to carry out or perform whatever compulsive behaviour you would normally use to deal with or stop the obsessive thoughts.

3 Easy Steps To Get Back Your Love

Posted on March 20th, 2010 by admin

OK you’re broken up because you’ve lost the love of your life and now you want them back. But is it possible to get back your love? If so, then how? Let me show you…

I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true: breaking up is hard to do. That’s why people almost always do the wrong thing when they are going through a breakup. They are hurt, angry and scared and they just react. And that is where the trouble starts.

If you want to get back with your love you need to follow a few simple tips. Following these tips won’t always be easy but you’ll have a much better chance of getting back together with your ex then you would if you don’t follow them.

1) Don’t suffocate them. Even though it’s tough to keep your distance that is exactly what you have to do. Even when you want to scream at them that they are being stupid and they’re throwing away a wonderful relationship you need to hold that in.

You need to give your ex time to miss you. If you make them angry by pursuing them relentlessly you will lose them forever. And this is exactly what most people do.

2) Don’t spend too much time worrying about them, concentrate on you. Now would be a great time for you to take stock of you. Decide what traits you have that might have contributed to the relationship falling apart and try to fix them.

Remember, you aren’t fixing them to get your ex back, you are fixing them because they need to be fixed and you want to be the best person you can be.

No matter what happens with your ex, whether you get back together with them or not, if you take this important step now you will grow as a person and that can only make your future relationships much better.

3) At some point the two of you will need to talk. Don’t do this right away even though that’s what you’ll want to do. You both need time to let things settle down otherwise any conversation you have is likely to end up with crying, or screaming, or both.

Once a little time has gone by you both can realize that you miss each other and hopefully have an honest conversation about what each of you is feeling and where you’d like to go from that point on.

Just remember this isn’t about proving that you’re right and they’re wrong. It’s about trying to honestly evaluate and understand each other’s point of view. That is the only way you can build a solid relationship.

Following these 3 seemingly simple steps can really help you get back your love. It’s not going to be easy but it’s the only way to reconcile and build something strong for the future.

Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View

Posted on March 20th, 2010 by admin

“Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars.”- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If youíve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimistís view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimistís route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimistís point of view? And why now?

Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewifeís disorder but also a teen-agerís disorderí as well.

Hereís how optimists are in action and researches that back up why it really pays to be an optimist:

Optimists expect the best

The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events, which will last a long time and undermine everything they do, are their own fault.

The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is the way they explain their misfortune—itís the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case.

Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They use ‘positive reinterpretation.’ In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situation, they perceive it is a challenge and try harder.

They wonít say ìthings will never get better,î ìIf I failed once, it will happen againî and ìIf I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.î

Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles.

People respond positively to optimists

Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.

Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably.

In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and sought for advice.

When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

They persevere. They just donít give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.

Optimists are healthier and live longer

Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease.

Optimistsí health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.

So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but donít just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?
