Tips From the Survival Kit

and Gain Independence with Confidence Now!

What ever is your problem, there is only one thing that is required... 
your Desire to Overcome It and to Do It!

An Affirmation a Day Keeps the Negatives Away!
"Driving through my fear is easier than thinking about it"
"All my problems are gifts to learn by" (I have enough gifts already)
"I'm  putting Fun back into dysfunction."

Do you fit any of these personality characteristics?

If you answer yes to most of these questions, you could be having higher levels of stress, anxiety, fears and a lower self-esteem than you deserve. You are not alone! Most people that I have seen exhibit these characteristics. Sometimes I wonder if ignorance isn't bliss. There wouldn't be so much to remember or to forget!


Food For Thought: Most doctors and therapists are not aware of the importance of the role diet, nutrition and habits play on our lives. The choices we make in these areas greatly affect us. People that have a lot of anxiety, fears and stress have to be especially careful what they eat and drink. Start to gradually eliminate: all caffeine, coffee, (including decaf) sodas, (including diet), chocolate, sugar and white flour. These foods can greatly amplify your anxieties. Aspirin, aspartame, MSG and vinegar can cause extreme edginess and allergic reactions. Alcohol causes depression, with it's sugar and lactate acid. With smoking, you think you're relaxing by inhaling a deep breath, but you're taking in toxic carbon dioxide, among other things. For people who suffer Anxiety Disorders, to make these choices, is like giving cigarettes to those with lung cancer or candy to diabetics!

Begin your "road to recovery" by getting a complete physical, including a full blood test. Some people that have Anxiety Disorders may have physical problems such as hypoglycemia, inner ear problems, (which can disrupt their sense of balance) or Mitral Valve Prolapse. Clarify questions you have with your doctor about any medications (over the counter, or not) that you may be taking. It may not all be "in your head". See a nutrionist, exercise regularly, take multiple B and C vitamins watch your weight and drink plenty of water. Substitute healthy food choices and thoughts. I know that it is difficult to do all these things at once. Give yourself every chance to live a better, fuller, happier life. You Deserve It!.


BNT NOW (Be in the Now)

The most anxiety and stress comes from either thinking too much about the past ("What you should have done") or obsessing about the future ("What if this happens? What if that happens?")

I call this "whatifitis." We all need to learn to stay in the now. What happened a second ago is gone; what could happen a second from now, may never happen. All we ever have control of is now -- this moment. When you focus on your breathing you can't help but stay in the now. You're doing that every second you are alive but unaware of it, until you stop doing it. The greatest stress the body gets is not receiving enough oxygen when it needs it the most!
