7 practical women's empowerment tips to combat anxiety

This seems to be very prevalent. Actually I was just speaking with a client today and she was expressing her sense of anxiety and how overwhelmed she feels with the situations in her life. My passion is supporting and providing women like you with
training and resources for women's empowerment that will enable you to discover
your authentic self, get unstuck, finally be free from emotional baggage, limiting beliefs that will result in unshakable confidence to step out in faith and live life on their terms. A bold, beautiful and authentically brilliant life!

I was reading this definition in the dictionary.
1 a : painful or apprehensive uneasiness of mind usually over an impending or anticipated ill b : fearful concern or interest c : a cause of anxiety
2 : an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physiological signs (as sweating, tension, and increased pulse), by doubt concerning the reality and nature of the threat, and by self-doubt about one's capacity to cope with it. Miriamwebster.com

Do you know how you can combat anxiety?

Let’s face it we have many opportunities to experience feelings of anxiety.

Have you ever been in a situation that brought on sweats, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath? You probably weren’t having a heart attack but an anxiety attack. If you suffer from anxiety disorders, learning to manage it is the first step to overcoming it.

Anxiety is characterized as extreme reactions to fearful situations. When someone follows you into a dark alley, those anxious feelings of a racing heartbeat and sweaty palms gives way to heightened senses and a rush of adrenalin that can save your life. This is the fight or flight syndrome.

In the case of frequent anxiety, the fearful feelings are dread of a particular situation and not the situation itself. Getting caught in traffic can cause an anxiety attack over what might happen when you get to work late. Starting a new job can bring on anxiety attacks. You don’t know anyone and fear of that unknown can send you into a panic.

Everyone experiences panic or anxiety in small ways. Like the fight or flight example, it can save your life. In new situations, we get panicky but when the outcome we fear fails to materialize, the anxiety stops. For someone with chronic anxiety, this is not the case.

Every situation that brings anxiety is not life-threatening. More than likely it is an extremely stressful situation that has brought on the anxiety as a way of dealing with it. Unchecked anxiety of this type can lead to depression.

If you suffer from anxiety attacks on occasion or a more frequent anxiety disorder, there are steps you can take to keep your anxiety under control. I will list
6 practical tips for you below.

1. Meditate. Meditation is more than chanting mantras. Yoga is an exercise that involves quieting the mind and controlling your breathing. Simple mediation such as taking 5 minutes to clear your mind everyday can work wonders in the fight against anxiety, however, another way to meditate is on the word of God. I'll give you
a few great verses to meditate on below.

Philipins 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([b]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

7 And God's peace [shall be yours, that [c]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [d]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

2. See a professional. This is always a good first step. Self-diagnosis of any type of physical or mental condition is unwise and can be dangerous. A professional psychologist can help you understand your anxiety and prescribe medication or other effective techniques.

3. Get a good night’s sleep. During the sleep cycle, your body repairs itself. You feel more rested after several hours of restorative sleep, reaching the REM stage. Most people need eight hours a night which varies within an hour or two each way.

4. Exercise on a consistent basis. Exercise helps you to use oxygen more efficiently. It helps to get more oxygen to the brain. It also increases focus which may help you see solutions to problems rather than simply worrying about them.


5. Manage the worry. When you feel your pulse start to quicken, count backwards from ten. As you count, focus on the situation. What has actually happened? Resist the urge to read anything more into the situation.

6. Find some relaxing activities. Stress can rob you of your energy. On a regular basis, do something you like such as gardening, painting, reading or listening to music. Stress has been attributed to 90% of all chronic diseases and we know
that some of these can lead to death. So in essence Anxiety, stress can be
a silent killer. Again not all levels, however, if you let it get out of
control it can be a contributing factor.

Anxiety can come into your life at any time. It’s normal. When the anxiety becomes frequent you could be at risk for more serious conditions. If you feel your anxiety is starting to take over your life or increasingly causing you problems, seek professional help immediately. There is no need to suffer this terrible condition in silence.

Women's life empowerment: Secrets to living a delicious life - Get your life in shape excerpt and free audio

Tweet this post


In a recent call "5 simple secrets to begin living your delicious life"
I shared this as one of the secrets. There are 4 plus additional secrets
that were shared and are essential to women's life empowerment
endeavors and living a delicious life!

Secret # 2 was to get your life in good shape.

You must make sure your life is in good shape, although I didn't
go into detail on the call about Total Wellness this is also
very, very important.

Areas included under this secret were:
Life balance
During the Breakthrough mentoring and coaching program each participant
will have a chance to reflect on this by utilizing one of the popular
assessments of the industry. This is not something that is locked in
to the 12 week period , however, it will give you another accountability
measure continuing beyond the 12 week period. One of the areas of this tool includes Physical environment and one of the sentences states my personal
files and papers are neatly filed away and if you’re good here you would
check it if not you don’t – At the end there’s a scoring system and there
is an ideal score that you want.

Another area is Health and emotional balance- And one of the sentences
in this area reads.... I very seldom use chocolate, coffee, colas, tea
less than 3 times per week total. We will also use a tool that will be
very instrumental in taking a look at your life balance, giving you a
measuring stick to allow for improvement. You see many times we major
on the minors and wonder why we aren’t achieving the results we so desire.

Strong Divine Connection –
We need to feed our soul, body and our spirit and it is imperative
that you have a strong divine connection which for me and others on
this call is a God our Father and you must be committed to your
spiritual authority which would be God, your pastor and those of
you that are married your husbands. It’s about order and when you have order you will live a delicious life!

This was an excerpt from 5 simple secrets to begin living a delicious life.
I share so much more on the call. Here is my gift to you for a limited time.

Teleseminar FREE! This will be part of a paid product so you do want to

Too busy to live?

Are you too busy to live?


Every year Americans die from a lack of proper management and

care for our health . I know you don't have time to take a 20

minute walk at least 2 times per week. It's too much to take time to

plan my meals so that I don't consume too much food with empty calories,

or overwork your heart with saturated fats.....sure we only live once

and must enjoy ourselves with over indulgence with desserts, fats,

carbohydrates, sodas, fries, burgers, alcohol and...

need I say more.



Read the following study done by HHS' Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC)...........



Mortality for several leading causes of death declined in 1999,

according to preliminary figures from HHS' Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC), released today by HHS Secretary

Tommy G. Thompson.



At the same time, there were increases for other leading causes of

death, including septicemia (6.6 percent); hypertension (5 percent); chronic

lower respiratory diseases (4 percent),and diabetes (3.3 percent).

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/releases/01news/declindea.htm



One thing that I wanted to point out was where it was said that

most of the other leading causes of deaths mentioned were

preventable.



Are we too busy to live?





"Good health is literally a walk away," Secretary Thompson

said. "You don't have to work up a big sweat at the gym or become

a long-distance runner. Just 30 minutes of walking a day, five days a

week, can significantly improve your health. Playing with your kids in the

backyard for an hour each day can help the whole family stay

healthy."

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/releases/02news/physical_activity.htm



Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not to busy too live.

"Don't bother me....I'm living!" That is my desire

for you that you will get busy living a super-charged empowered life of success "Spirit, soul and body." So what are you doing at least three times

per week for 20 - 30 minutes a day...... walking to good health...

(or whatever form of exercise you choose)....living!
