How to Manage Stress and Anxiety?

One of the most effective strategies to use when you have recognized you are feeling stressed is to take control. Taking charge of your thoughts, emotions and if possible, your environment will help you to feel more in control. Stress management involves changing the stressful situation when you can, changing your reaction when you can't, taking care of yourself, and making time for rest and relaxation.

Learn to Relax

Putting aside time for yourself is paramount. The body believes it is always in a state of flight when you are chronically stressed therefore you have to use techniques to alleviate this. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing or self hypnosis help to activate the body's relaxation response. If you take time to practice regularly, these activities can lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of relaxation and serenity.

Hypnosis as an Effective Treatment for Stress and Anxiety

Hypnosis has always been of interest to me and I have seen it produce some very positive results especially for stress/anxiety type of conditions. If the relaxation techniques outlined above are not to your liking and you want more direction try Richard's hypnosis programme.

How To Relieve Stress And Anxiety Through Healthy Eating

Stress is a condition we live with every day. From project deadlines at work to homework assignments at school our bodies are constantly exposed to different types of stress. Then I learned that healthy eating can actually help you reduce stress and I want to share these tips on how to relieve stress and anxiety just through eating healthier.

1: Avoid Excessive Caffeine

I know a cup in the morning gets you going, but too much coffee or soda adds an extra strain on the body by increasing blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Try unsweetened green tea instead. Sugar in the raw and the Stivia products are unprocessed natural alternatives to processed sugar. Green Tea has high amounts of antioxidants and a nutritionist told me that the "natural" caffeine in Green Tea is healthier for you than caffeine from other sources.

2: Carry your own Healthy Snacks

I use 2 part nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts-unsalted or salted your choice) 1 part raisins and one part M&M's. Carrots, celery and sunflower seeds are also healthy alternatives.

3: Eat a Healthy Breakfast and Carry your Lunch.

4: High Fiber Fruits and Veggies are our Friends

Boldly colored fruits and vegetables contain high sources of antioxidants, minerals, and fiber which help to fight disease and reduce bad cholesterol levels which can cause strokes and heart disease.

Staying hydrated helps the body flush toxins from your system to keep you healthy.

5: Exercise

Just a brisk walk around the block after dinner can do wonders to relieve stress.

How to Relieve Stress and Anxiety Using Music Healing Therapy

So now that I got your attention I will explain how this music works. The music has what is called Binaural Beats. These beats are incorporated in the music, and they are set to different frequencies to stimulate your brain.

The frequencies are set in the music, and are different for what ever problem you have, the music may sound the same, but are totally different. I love music, I grew up with music all around me, it always makes me feel good.

But this music is very different, it makes you relax. You can download music that is fifteen minutes long, a half hour long, and longer it's up to you. I feel that music healing therapy is the best way to relieve stress and anxiety. For more information on music healing therapy and to try your free sample go to: click here!
