How You Can Easily Cope With Stress through Anxiety

Meditation

A powerful technique that can be used for anxiety

meditation is your coping skills.

This can also be looked at as the ability to

refocus your attention.

Since, in times of anxiety, your attention is focused almost entirely upon your own self-created thoughts

of despair.

The refocusing of your attention will bring a

welcoming relief.

The idea is to find a mental activity that will distract

you from your anxious way of thinking.

This exercise can be as simple as counting the tiles

on the floor in the room where you are sitting, or

thinking of names of people in your family.

It does not matter what form of distraction you use

although the more mentally challenging the

activity is, the more focus it will take.

This will in turn relax you during your anxiety

meditation.

Anxiety meditation may take even a different

form.

You may want to try to use a strong mental distraction

such as that of a videogame or a game like

chess.

That activity always took a great deal of mental

concentration for me as well as physical

coordination concentration.

The idea behind all of the refocusing techniques is

distraction without escape.

Do these or create and apply your own

distractions any time that you feel anxious.

This will give you immediate relief, help to prepare you for positive

self-talk and begin to recondition your responses

to stressful situations.

Thinking about Meditation?

Choosing anxiety meditation can be a

relaxing yet invigorating activity, you can learn self

control and self exploration with release of

anxiety.

Study after study has shown meditation, when

done correctly, to be a very successful form of stress

reduction.

There is really nothing mystical or mythical

about it.

The primary cause of anxiety is an over active or out of control imagination.

Effective anxiety meditation will slow down your thought process and help reduce your anxiety.

The first step to anxiety meditation is to find a comfortable position.

Many people choose to sit with good posture in

an upright position.

I suggest preparing yourself by first doing a

few minutes of diaphragmatic breathing

and muscle relaxation exercises to relax you

physically, inhaling and exhaling slowly to calm

yourself some.

Next you should try closing your eyes.

Studies have shown that by simply closing our eyes during anxiety meditation that we can rapidly reduce

our brain activity.

You may at this time start to become aware of your own thoughts.

Let the thoughts flow through your mind and

go away.

The idea here is to have as few thoughts as possible, but don’t become anxious

if you cannot eliminate your thoughts altogether.

Simply let them go each time you recognize

yourself drifting into thought during your anxiety meditation.

Resource Box

When performing your meditation you may want

someone to be there in the room with you to be able to watch, and in case you

do have a panic attack help calm you down and bring

you back into focus of what you were doing.

Having this person in the room for some may help

greatly, but for some may just be too much of a

distraction.
