Friends
Why everywhere you look are top psychologists
and doctors still teaching outdated methods for
treating general anxiety and panic attacks?
It seems every time I do a search online
there is yet another anxiety "expert" rehashing
the same old ideas. Brown Paper bags, think happy
thoughts, do your breathing etc. I am sure you have
come across them a million times before already.
How are people supposed to solve their anxiety issue
if they are continuously exposed to these techniques
and methods that only teach people to cope with anxiety.
Just coping is not good enough. Real solutions are needed.
I want to share with you something that does work.
It is a very simple way to help end the fear of a PANIC ATTACK.
This is a very good exercise for people who want something
practical to focus their attention on when they feel the
pressure of a panic attack building.
Its very simple and easy to remember. Here goes...
The 20 Second Countdown
When you feel the sensations of a panic attack building
do the following.
Tell the panic that it has 20 seconds to initiate the
full panic attack. 20 seconds and no more. After the
20 seconds are complete it must stop making empty threats.
You are allowing 20 seconds for it to fully manifest
but not a second more.
Whatever the bodily sensation is that you fear, it must
happen within that 20 second time frame.
-If you heart is going to explode then
it has 20 seconds to do so.
-If you are going to lose control, then your mind
has 20 seconds to do so.
-If you are going to faint - 20 seconds!
But absolutely no more time than that.
You get the picture.
By setting a specific time frame you establish
boundaries of control. You turn it into a game where
you call fear's bluff. If it were a poker game,
you are asking anxiety to show its hand.
This works because it establishes a sense of
control within your mind and body.
You think to yourself "I am not prepared to spend
my time worrying about this. I've had enough. I am
going to be generous and give it 20 seconds but
after 20 seconds and nothing has happened then
the opportunity has officially passed and I am going
to go back to what I was doing."
Then start counting -but nice and slowly, don't rattle
it off as fast as you can. Really tease it out like you
did when you were a child and you never wanted to
reach zero. Teasing it out is the key because it allows
you to feel generous and that you are giving anxiety
every chance possible.
Deep down you know there is really nothing to fear.
To really help tease it out, break the last few
numbers into fractions.
5................................
4................................
3.................................
2...and three quarters...
2...and half..................
2................................
1...and three quarters... (last chance anxiety)
1...and half.................. (I really cant wait any longer)
1................................
0.
Sorry too late we've reached the end.
By not rushing through the countdown you will feel
your confidence soar because you are demonstrating
real control and authority over your anxious thoughts
and bodily sensations. You are saying "look, I am really
trying to give you all the time I can to unleash X,Y, and Z,
I am being very generous here with this countdown.
Count your way to freedom. Count your way

Remedies For Panic Attacks.
Friends,
Do you fear the arrival of another panic attack?
People who have experienced panic attacks often
go around with a grave sense of unease that
at any moment, they will experience a major panic attack.
It's a fear of the ultimate panic attack that would
finally push them over the edge.
This leads people to make changes to their
behavior in order not to do anything that might
trigger a panic episode.
When people feel this way, simple daily tasks can
become big challenges. Some people start to fear
driving their car in traffic. Others fear leaving their
safe zone or simply any situation where they have
responsibilities to perform.
This state of apprehension keeps a person's anxiety level high,
leading to feelings of general anxiety.
If you are such a person I hope to put your
mind at rest. Panic attacks as well as general anxiety
(even when not accompanied by panic disorder)
can be eliminated in simple steps regardless of how
long the anxiety has been a problem.
I am speaking not just from my own personal experience
but from having worked with thousands of people
right around the world.
Here is an important observation:
The key difference between someone who is cured
of panic attacks and those who are not is really very simple.
The one who is cured is not afraid of panic attacks.
I'll try to show you how to one of these people as well.
What if I told you the trick to ending panic attacks
is to want to have one!
That sounds strange but let me explain.
A simple trick to ending panic attacks is wanting
to have one because the wanting causes an
immediate diffusion of the anticipatory fear.
Can you have a panic attack in this very second?
No !
You know the saying "what you resist persists."
Well that saying applies perfectly to fear.
If you resist a situation out of fear, the fear
around that issue will persist.
How do you stop resisting?
You move directly into the path of the
anxiety; by doing so it cannot persist because you
process the fear out through your emotions.
In essence what that means is that if you
voluntarily seek out a panic attack you won't have one.
Try in this very moment to have a panic
attack and I will bet you cannot... Yes, I know
the idea of calling on a panic attack is scary at
first but play with the concept and watch
what happens.
You may not realize it but you have always
decided to panic. You make the choice by
thinking "this is beyond my control." "These
scary sensations are beyond my bodies control."
It may help if you imagine that having a panic
attack is like standing on a cliff edge.
The anxiety, it seems, is pushing you
closer to falling over the edge. Each time you
fight back using poor "coping strategies" the more
desperate you feel.
To be rid of the fear you must metaphorically jump.
You must jump off the cliff edge and into the
anxiety and fear and all the things that you
fear most.
How do you jump?
You jump by wanting to have a panic attack.
You go about your day asking for a panic attack to appear.
Your real safety is the fact that a panic attack
will never harm you. That is medical fact.
You are safe, -Yes, the sensations are wild and
uncomfortable, but no harm will come to you.
Your body is in a heightened state
but no harm will come to you.
The jump becomes nothing more
than a two inch drop! You are safe.
You always were.
Think of all the panic attacks you have had to date
and come out the other end. Was there any lasting
physical damage to you, other than the
mounting feeling of panic?
Now you are going to approach this problem differently.
You actively seek out the attack like an adventure
seeker. Take the opposite approach.
YOU bring it on!!!

Uncovered,Information About Anxiety.
Friends, whatever your particular fear is, I want to share some tips and techniques with you over the coming days that will not only help you end these fears but also reduce your overall anxiety level dramatically.Anxiety has a sneaky way of seeding doubt regardless of whether the fear is rational or irrational. So what can be done for people who suffer from repetitive anxious thoughts? To begin, lets look at how an anxious thoughtis powered and then I will demonstrate how to quickly eliminate the intensity of the thought. Say for example you are going about yourdaily business when an anxious thought enters your mind. Whatever the nature of the thought, the pattern that follows is usually quite predictable. The anxious thought flashes briefly in your awarenessand as it does so you immediately react with fear as you contemplate the thought. The fearful reaction you have to the thought then sends a shock-wave through your nervous system. You feel the result of that fear most intensely in your stomach (due to the amount of nerve endings located there). Because of the intense bodily reaction to the thought you then get sucked into examining the anxious thought over and over.The continuous fearful reaction you have to the thought, increases the intensity of the experience. The more you react, the stronger the thought rebounds again in your awareness creating more anxious shock-waves throughout your body. This is the typical cycle of anxious thoughts.For some it feels like the anxious thoughts are hijacking their peace of mind. Because of the reaction you are having, you may continue to spend the rest of yourday thinking about the anxious thoughts you experienced."Why am I thinking these thoughts?""Why can't I shake off this eerie feeling?"The harder you try not to think about it,the more upset you become. It is like telling someone 'whatever happens do not think of a pink elephant'. Naturally enough it's all they can think about.Thats the way our brains our wired. So how can you eliminate these unwanted anxious thoughts? To begin with:-when you start to experience anxious thoughts, it is veryimportant not to force the thoughts away. Let the thoughts in. The more comfortable you canbecome with them, the better. These thoughts will nevergo away fully but what you can learn is to change your reaction to them. By changing your reaction to the anxious thoughts you become free of them.Once you establish a new way of reacting to the thoughts it does not matter if you have them or not. Your reaction is what defines the whole experience (and that applies toalmost everything). Everybody experiences fleeting thoughts that many would consider scary or crazy. The difference between most people and somebody who gets caught up in them, is that the average person sees them for exactly what they are, fleeting anxious thoughts, and casually ignores them. The anxious person is at a disadvantage as theyalready have a certain level of anxiety in their system.The thoughts easily spark feelings of further anxietywhich builds into a cycle of fear. You break the cycle by changing how you react to the fearful thought. Here is an example of how to approach this: You are enjoying the way your day is going but then all of sudden a fearful thought comes to mind. Before you would react with anxiety to the idea and then try to force that thought out of your mind. This time, however, say: "That's a fear of X. I could worry and even obsess over that but this time I'm going to do something different. I'm not going to react to it. I'm also not going to try and stop it either. I'm just going to label the thought and not react."
Then the thought comes again with more intensity and possibly with new 'scary' angles you never considered. When this happens you do exactly the same. As if you were observing acloud passing overhead, you simply-Observe it, -label it (fear of whatever), then -watch it as it passes by with no judgment. Then-move your attention on to what you were doing.
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on See the anxious thought for what it really is:-one of the thousands of fleeting sane and insane thoughts every one of us experiences daily.
If you are a more indoors type of person then instead of thinking of the thoughts like clouds passing in the sky,you might try imagining a large cinema screen and the anxious thoughts are projected out onto the screen in front of you. Play around with this approach. Find what works for you. The key thing to remember is to: Observe, Label, Watch, Move on By practising this approach you gradually stop reacting with fearto the thought and you learn to treat it as nothing more than an odd peculiarity. When you are at a stage where you are comfortable doing the above exercise and you feel you are making good progress, then try this additional step:Actually invite one of your more regular fearful thoughts in.Call the fear to you, say you just want it to come close so you can observe it. It may seem like the last thing you would wish to bring upon yourself, as you don't particularly enjoy these thoughts but this approach can be very empowering. You are now calling the shots. You actually invited the issue in. By doing this you are discharging the dense vibration of fear surrounding the anxious thought. That fear was sustaining itself on your resistance, -the idea that you could not handle these thoughts. The fear quickly evaporates when you turn around and say "yes of course I can handle these thoughts."Fear intensifies when we pull away from it. Anxious thoughts become a mental tug of war if we struggle with them.It is the mental struggle of pulling against the anxious thoughts that creates theinner psychological tension. The inner tension is fueled by thoughts like: "I can't handle to think about this -please go away" "I don't like that thought- I want it to stop!" Take a different stance. Invite anxious thoughts in. Willingly sit with them, label them and do your very best not to react. Yes, it does take practice but very soon youfind yourself in a unique position of control.You are no longer a victim of fearful thinking but a decision maker in what you will or willnot be concerned about. As with every technique there is always a level of practice involved in the beginning. Initially you start observing but then suddenly get anxious about the fearful thought. That's very normal in the beginning. Keep at it. Practice and you will quickly see how less impacting those fearful thoughts become. Do not let your mind trick you into believing that your anxiety is something you will always have to struggle with. That is simply not true.
Not alone is it possible to control the occurrence of anxious thoughts but I can teach you how to end panic attacks and general anxiety if that is your goal.You can have the life of your dreams. Anxiety does not have the right to steal that hope from you.

How To Achieve And Maintain Healthy Head Of Beatiful Hair
Three main things are needed for a good-looking head of hair -- good health, the right attention to cleanliness, and caution when using cosmetic treatments.
1. Adequate Diet
Hair growth depends on an adequate diet. A widespread diet problem which causes loss of hair is iron deficiency Anaemia. The cause is too little iron in blood, brought on by a diet containing too little meat, eggs, cereals or peas and beans. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also needed to provide vitamin C, which enables the body to absorb iron.
2. Cutting the hair
Although cutting the hair is not essential to its well-being, it is easier to keep the scalp clean if the hair is kept reasonably short. Regular cutting does not make the hair grow strong or faster.
3. How hair can be damaged
Although scalp hair is hardy, and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied perming, dyeing, bleaching and massage. The amount of beautying the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp is allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen. To prevent this occuring, the dye should be tested by applying it to a small area on the arm. If a patch of inflammation has developed, the dye must not be used on the hair.
Most people who bleach their hair do so with hydrogen peroxide. If the peroxide is repeatedly applied, it may make the hair brittle. If this happens the hair may turn rough, develop split ends, or become thinned or shortened.

Remedies For Hair Growth
SalmonWhen it comes to foods that pack a beauty punch, it's hard to beat salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality protein source is also filled with vitamin B-12 and iron. If you are a vegetarian, then one or two tablespoons of ground flaxseed in your daily diet for some plant-based omega-3 fats should work as a supplement.
Dark Green VegetablesSpinach, broccoli and other green vegetables are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which your body needs to produce sebum. The oily substance, secreted by your hair follicles, is the body's natural hair conditioner. Dark green vegetables also provide iron and calcium.
BeansYes, it's true. Legumes like kidney beans and lentils should be an important part of your hair-care diet. Not only do they provide plentiful protein to promote hair growth, but ample iron, zinc, and biotin.
NutsGet nutty to have that glossy hair. Yes, its true. Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help condition your hair. They are also a terrific source of zinc, as are cashews, pecans, and almonds. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding, so make sure nuts are a regular on your healthy hair menu.
EggsWhen it comes to healthy hair, it doesn't matter whether you like your eggs scrambled, fried, or over easy. Eggs are one of the best protein sources you can find.
Whole GrainsSink your teeth into hearty whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, for a hair-healthy dose of zinc, iron, and B vitamins. A whole-grain snack can also be a great go-to food when your energy is zapped halfway through the afternoon, and you've still got hours to go before dinner.
- Low-Fat Dairy ProductsLow-fat dairy products like skim milk and yogurt are great sources of calcium, an important mineral for hair growth. They also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources.
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes a healthy scalp along with good vision. Snack it up or use it in your salads, either ways, this vegetable is the root for your shiny, glossy mane.
Water makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Moisture makes the hair supple, so make sure you get plenty of fluids. A key point is NOT to wait until you're thirsty. If you're thirsty, it means your body has already lost more water than it should have, and it's urging you to fill up the tank. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink between eight and ten glasses of water a day.
And the must have is a well balanced diet. Crash diets can affect the hair cycle. Losing a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time can affect that normal hair rhythm. Two to three months later, you might notice a significant increase in shedding. This is a temporary problem that you recover from with a well-rounded diet.

Hay fever can lead to other allergies
HAY fever can lead to other allergies.
With spring just around the corner,millions of hay fever sufferers are gearing up for another season of sneezing,sniffing and congestion.
BUT many hay fever sufferers are unaware that a pollen allergy can result in an allergy to fruits and vegetable,known as oral allergy sydrome.Scientists say this occurs when the immune system mistakes the proteins in some fruits and vegetable for molecules of pollen that have a similar structure.When the fruits or vegetable protein is consumed,antibodies attack it,setting off mild symptoms that can last for several minutes and include swelling and itching in the mouth,ears and lips.
BUT simple steps can solve the problem.Cooking and microwaving are usually enough to denature the proteins.And peeling can do the trick,since the proteins are often found in skin.

Discovery!!Usefulness of Banana
I NEVER KNEW ALL THE POWERS OF BANANAS
============ ========= ========= ========= =====
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator! !!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
