Managing Anxiety - Part 2
If you haven't already read Understanding Anxiety - Part 1 you might want to do so before reading Part 2.

In Part 1, you learned how to control your symptoms to a level that was easier to manage by controlling your breathing.

Now, it's time to use this technique to start stepping out of your comfort zone to regain control of your life.

Before engaging in any anxiety-provoking activity, practice your deep breathing 15 minutes before, and continue deep breathing during that activity. For example, if you suffer from driving anxiety, before getting into the car deep breathe for 15 minutes before and while you are driving. Your breathing will keep the adrenaline low and this should prevent your anxiety from heightening.

This strategy can be applied to other anxiety-provoking situations like social situations, crowds, and shopping.
Make sure that at the end of every successful outcome, you acknowledge it to reinforce your confidence in managing your anxiety. And before attempting another situation remind yourself of that previous successful outcome.

The more you attend these situations experiencing minimal anxiety the more confident you will be to extend the exercise to more situations that you have avoided.

Remember, at this point, you are only focusing on managing your symptoms and keeping them as low as possible. We haven't yet started work on controlling your anxiety-provoking thoughts. Controlling Anxiety -Part 3 will guide you on how to control the negative thoughts that are keeping you in a flight/fight state, and how to stop scanning for threats and break the fear cycle.

What Is Anxiety -Part 1
When we experience a real threat, our body goes into a flight/fight state ready to protect us. This state releases the adrenaline that is needed to survive. Unfortunately, for many people, the threat can be so frightening that they cannot let their guard down, afraid of being put in that vulnerable situation again. This can then develop into a bad habit of constantly scanning for threats which in turn constantly releases adrenaline. If adrenaline is released and not utilised to deal with a real threat, it often causes the following symptoms: racing heart, tension, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, shaky and tight chest to name a few. So, every time we scan for anticipated threats our body reacts as though we are faced with a real threat.

To break the fear cycle: we need to keep our body calm by manually reducing the adrenaline by tricking our Central Nervous System into switching off the Stress Response and switching on the Rest Response by controlling our breathing. Developing the habit of breathing deeply and slowly throughout the day, should keep that adrenaline low enough for our symptoms to reduce to a level that is more comfortable and manageable.

Developing this habit and learning to control our symptoms should then help us regain control over our lives. Once our confidence in managing our symptoms increases we can tackle the next stage that being, stopping the constant scanning for threats. This will be covered in Controlling Anxiety -Part 3

Homework:
Start practising deep breathing every day throughout the next couple of weeks. Breathe in 6, Breathe out 6. Take 5 deep breaths every 10-15 minutes throughout the day until this becomes a habit.

Once you have mastered the art of controlling your symptoms through your breathwork, you can start Managing Anxiety - Part 2, which will guide you to step out of your comfort zone using your controlled breathing technique.

“Inspirational & Insightful!
After a hurtful and heartbreaking year, I was blessed to have had the guidance & support of an extremely beautiful soul. Now my day starts with a much-needed morning ritual of sitting in the sun, coffee in hand while practicing gratitude, mindfulness and self-reflection. ‘This book has now become a part of this practice’. There are days when you need that extra strength, reassurance and a reminder in life that a negative does not always have to stay a negative. The mind if disciplined has the power of shifting it around and turning it into an all-powerful ‘POSITIVE’. The affirmations in this book are incredibly inspiring and an excellent reminder to always embrace that inner strength.”
