Hi all,
I just wanted to share something with you which I have found seems to help me when I feel anxious etc..
Today I felt particulary anxious at work for some reason as I felt jumpy and I felt my heart was shaking and I had those horrible 'missed beat' feelings again in my throat. I felt myself panicking a bit but I was trying hard not to let anyone know. I felt myself continually checking my pulse ( you know the things us anxiety sufferers do!!).[:0]
Anyway, I suddenly thought to myself 'What am I doing?' I have felt like this so many times over the last few years and Im still here, so whats different this time.....the answer was NOTHING!!!!
I have also posted over the last few weeks about some therapy that I am receiving called Kinnesiology. Anyway, last week my therapist highlighted to me how I a rely on others for reaasurance all the time to tell me I will be ok etc and how I dont have a belief that no matter what happens, I will always be here for myself!!!She believes I need to believe this statement to help me become more positive.
So, over the last week and particularly today I said to myself over and over again.... 'I believe no matter what I will always be here for MYSELF'. Suddenly today I didnt feel so scared of 'what if' this happens etc etc..Just feeling reassured within myslef that I will be ok despite whatever happens helped me stay calm.:)
I just thought that some of you out there may benefit too from feeling like this just through saying this statement to yourself in the midst of panic/anxiety. I may not benefit everyone but its worth a go!!
P.S. - I also remembered what Meg had said before about .missed heartbeats' etc....I drunk some fizzy juice..had a burp and the symtpoms disaapeared!!!:D:D
Hope you are all well.
