Even those who do not struggle with regular mental health issues may have noticed changes during this last year as a response to the added stress . When your brain is in a state of stress , your limbic system is activated . The limbic system activates three common nervous system states : fight , flight or freeze .
Those who respond with “ fight ” will experience higher levels of anger or frustration and struggle more in interpersonal relationships . Those in the “ flight ” state are more inclined to make changes to their world , such as moving or changing careers . Finally , those who experience a “ freeze ” reaction often feel stuck and unable to make a change .
One easy way to manage your stress responses is to practice deep breathing as it signals to your body that it can rest . If you find that you struggle with these feelings on an ongoing basis , it may be time to reach out for professional support . These are challenging times and you don ’ t need to figure it out on your own . - Serenity Now Wellness Centre , www . serenitynowwellness . ca
Anyone who has had a panic attack will tell you that the feeling of a heart racing and a mind in a state of frantic thought is only the beginning . What is often forgotten is to breathe . According to breathing expert Bill Allen of Oxygen Cures , it seems like a given but most of us aren ’ t getting enough oxygen from our regular breathing . This is heightened in an instant , with the onset of anxiety and panic .
The solution can be as simple as training to breathe . One of the many benefits of improved oxygen in the human body is that it can combat the side effects of anxiety . It reduces stress levels in your body , lowers your heart rate , improves regulation of your body ’ s reaction to stress or fatigue and improves mental clarity .
The process is quite simple . Start with one hand on your stomach and in a standing straight or sitting tall posture . Place one finger just beneath your nose to increase inhalation velocity . Exhale until your lungs are empty and then breathe in deeply . Pause , slowly exhale and pause again . For best results practice this method in sets of five , three times a day . - For a full video demonstration of this breathing technique , visit www . OxygenCures . com
