I ...Doug, thanks for sharing your recovery journey. I suffered suffered from severe anxiety about 15 years ago and I went on a inner journey of personal healing and growth for around 10 years and really liked what you said about acceptance. When I accepted my thoughts and feelings I stopped fighting them and they became a little easier to be with. Mindfulness helped me with acceptance, however it took me a while to be able to get to the place to meditate and be able to just sit with my feelings and experiences without the need to comfort eat or binge drink to help manage the anxiety.Linda Connorshttp://www.lindaconnors.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-13017133419523529892012-11-14T22:01:02.681-08:002012-11-14T22:01:02.681-08:00Hi There

Koros explains that anxiety as well as other emotions gives your trouble only as long as they manifest themselves somatically—that is, you feel them in your body, as Doug illustrated in his latest post. Koros continues to explain using detailed examples how to track down the phases in the mechanism that triggers your anxiety and how to disrupt it at will, by manipulating your breathing or body movements. I used only the first technique for one weekend about a month ago, and I can’t quite believe it, but my anxiety (which I have because of my high-stress work environment) has decreased.Lisa T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-84018549527142387572012-10-19T08:35:10.051-07:002012-10-19T08:35:10.051-07:00It's awesome that you are coming along so well...It's awesome that you are coming along so well that flying is no longer terrifying for you.<br /><br />Acceptance is key!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719298522757166814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-7391419438229235242012-10-05T11:02:15.317-07:002012-10-05T11:02:15.317-07:00awesome ways to overcome anxiety, learning what ma...awesome ways to overcome anxiety, learning what makes you anxious is the key, thanks for thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-79380838344813124562012-09-24T03:39:15.080-07:002012-09-24T03:39:15.080-07:00We are all facing anxiety from time to time, you a...We are all facing anxiety from time to time, you are not alone. therapy for insomniahttp://mesicsproducts.com/insomnia-relief/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-66859610887054803122012-09-20T05:18:42.631-07:002012-09-20T05:18:42.631-07:00I feel the same when it comes to flying.

Because of my own struggles I have created an online anxiety treatment tool. If you can find 10 mins to run through a session (and write a review post if you are so inspired) I would be very grateful.<br /><br />You can find it here: <a href="http://www.anxietyselftreatment.com/" rel="nofollow">Anxiety Self Treatment</a><br /><br />Best,<br />BrandonAnxietySelfTreatmenthttp://www.anxietyselftreatment.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-38516028398369112882012-09-10T07:47:34.743-07:002012-09-10T07:47:34.743-07:00This blog is brilliant i know exactly how you feel...This blog is brilliant i know exactly how you feel with anxiety, i also suffer with anxiety and agoraphobia and it all to often stops me from living my life how i want to, by cancelling and avoiding things but going on a airplane is an absolutely amazing acheivement you should be very proud of yourself for getting this far, i hope it all goes well, il look forward to reading other blogs you post in the future :)mental health girlhttp://www.mentalhealthy.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168359106248327458.post-50235635557337196512012-09-09T12:40:20.911-07:002012-09-09T12:40:20.911-07:00Its great that you're managing to control your...Its great that you're managing to control your anxiety.
