Do

Relaxation-  Practice lying flat on floor if possible either in quietude or gentle classical music. This requires no thinking but feeling awareness only  – Let nature’s vitality flow through and refresh your psyche

Enjoy a professional relaxation massage – to feel energies renewed

Physical exercise followed by a warm shower or bath with lavender or neroli bath oil

Take a series of slow deeper breaths before you decide to become active again – then deliberately inhale the perfume of one of the natural essential oils that appeals to you

Spend 5 minutes in upright position repeating your personal affirmation that inspires and makes you feel happy and strong

Drink pure water – rainwater if possible or drink a pure fresh fruit juice -sipping a little at a time and consciously drawing vitality

Appreciate being alive – Look around you and focus upon the beautiful forms, plants, sky, trees – to realise afresh how wonderful to be alive to learn and to enjoy nature and participate in the Life Adventure

Finally, promise yourself to remain as long as possible in this pleasant mind set or mood. Let nothing disturb you. Let no one have the power to disturb you. Remain calm in whatever circumstances

Attend classes or participate in sports that are directly helpful in lifting your mood –confiding in your therapist, attending  laughing groups, comedy shows, or, listening to favourite melodic music

Be creative – painting, playing a musical instrument, sewing, crafts, singing or skills in a sport

Seek for a skilled psychologist who will help you without recommendation for prescription drugs, many of which cannot claim to cure and many can prove harmful

Find a healthy natural alternative to The Pill that is one proven cause of depression

Any or all of these are positive self determined ways to overcome depression and you will benefit continuing efforts especially when you find what really works for you personally.

Prayer is the universal ‘advice’ or technique to help lift your mood

 

Don’t

Drink alcohol – it will not help your depression in the long run

Don’t take antidepressant medications –  many will be detrimental to your mental well being

Don’t remain solitary except to practise your private relaxation but enjoy walks and the company of a friend.

Don’t get in the habit of repeating to yourself or to others “I’m depressed ..” or “I’m feeling bad” – this has a negative effect upon the subconscious mind that relies upon positive thought feed-in.

Don’t continue any old habit – substitute a better one!

Don’t seek solace from food – when depressed is the worst time to digest food and your body will suffer

Don’t try to focus your mind in reading dutiful learning or study but rather choose to study a subject or hobby of genuine personal interest

Don’t bombard your brain with heavy rock noises or music that is loud and without melody at this is the cause of much depression.

Don’t burden your love ones or take out your moods upon others if you can confide in a psychologist or counsellor who is trained to be impartial and just listen.

REMEMBER 

You are a special and unique person, created to experience and enjoy life as well as to offer your personal gifts and talents to others. Why waste life time?

When we refer to matters of general insurance it concerns unexpected and unpreventable circumstances over which we have no direct control other than due care.

In regard to health insurance however, prevention is the only real insurance against misfortune and disease of any kind. Only by building our health can we ensure that we do not suffer pain and illness in future or at least minimize any problem. There is no other way. There is no amount of money that can replace our vital healthy state or compensate us for lost ability to enjoy life. We must therefore consider that we bear a responsibility to do our utmost to create and maintain our health.

Anxiety attacks can instill a deep fear and dread in you. While most people will feel anxious at one time in their lives, someone who has an anxiety disorder will often feel frequent and extreme versions of the symptoms. Some of these many symptoms include intense feelings of fear or impending death, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, hyperventilation, or difficulty breathing. One of these symptoms may be experienced or many of them at the same time.

There are many causes of anxiety and they vary from person to person. Many causes of anxiety attacks may be linked with a person’s fears, or they may appear seemingly for no reason at all. Because the causes differ so much, so do the treatments. What works for one person may not work for others. Each anxiety case is diagnosed and treated individually so that each person gets the help needed specifically.

Self-help anxiety treatment begins with the realization that you have a problem. Early diagnosis can help to clear the disorder before it gets worse. To determine whether you have anxiety, there are many self-help anxiety tests available that you can use to diagnose yourself.

Self-help is used as a way of empowering the mind. Self-talk is often used as a way to improve confidence and react positively in situations that normally trigger anxiety. Changing small things in your daily routine can help to improve your state of mind. Better time management skills can be used to balance your life and mind. Sharing your feelings with someone else can be a great help in making you feel better. Involve yourself in some of your favorite activities and you will help divert your mind from anxiety inducing situations.

Nobody is going to deny how intense an anxiety attack can be so it is no wonder we want to avoid them. Most people turn to an anti-anxiety prescription medication, but there are also herbs for anxiety attacks which can help ease the symptoms or stop the attack altogether.

Social anxiety can be a very difficult mental disorder to live with. It prevents you from doing things that you wish you could such as going to a party or hanging out in public with friends. People with social anxiety disorder will often have an anxiety attack when presented with a social situation and will often flee as a result.

Social anxiety treatment normally consists of two parts, which are medication and psychotherapy. These treatments can be used singly or in conjunction to treat the condition from all sides. These treatments will not cure anxiety, but they will help you manage your symptoms and live a normal life.

What’s keeping you from trying Tibetan meditation? The thought that you’ll have to sit down, keep still, and face nothing but a blank wall all day? The fear of being made to do nothing for an hour or two except watch your breathing or count your heartbeat? While there are meditation techniques that make use of these two, Tibetan meditation doesn’t. On the contrary, Tibetan meditation would even seem like an action flick in comparison. You will be asked to imagine colorful lights moving up and down pathways in your body. You will be taught to imagine furious deities stepping on the dead with a giant foot or blowing fire as they head your way. Tell me, do any of those sound boring?

Has it been weeks since you last fell asleep without popping a pill or two? Is your insomnia so bad you can’t remember the last time you were able to get 8 hours of uninterrupted rest? Sleep meditation can help. Unlike medication which builds lifelong dependence on drugs, sleep meditation empowers you to take charge. When you learn to meditate, you can control when you sleep, where, and for how long. You gain so much control over your internal alarm clock, in fact, that you can wake up the next day without the help of an alarm clock!
