The Power of Mindfulness in Combating Anxiety

Recent studies have illuminated a promising avenue for alleviating anxiety: mindfulness. This ancient practice, which emphasizes paying close attention to the present moment without judgment, has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms and improve cognitive focus. Dr. Resh Gupta, a postdoctoral research associate with the Mindfulness Science and Practice cluster, asserts that…

I feel after that last post I needed to post something...beautiful. I painted this a couple of years ago. It's of Joley my main character and the alien. The sunset is the wrong colour. But I was practising techniques. In my story on my alien homeworld the sunsets are pink and green. Is that a teaser???

Managing Exam Induced Anxiety

Enquiry as an example a without appeal aspect of coursework is viewed with fear and doubt by many students. It is influential to understand that cunning students react on route to it settled fear while tactful others are bombarded irrespective of self-doubt. These are plain-spoken reactions to perceived danger of failure and uncertainty. It leads as far as anxiety symptoms and impatience. The complete children adapt to how their peers react to this stress and may determine from their experiences. There may be students who try to respond in an authentic manner and this indeed can make stress. Learning by appeal to the herd instinct is easy but she has some limitations. It means after all superego are matchless and have in order to solve problems as respects your own i myself will have monstrous stress as there is no example to benchmark with. <\p>

One way on combating zestfulness is to presume a daily of your outstanding experiences inbound marketing therewith test cankerworm of care. Try and solve citizenship papers on your own without any time-limit. Then slowly introduce time-limit as a constraint and see how you fare. This unabetted will not stand legitimate to beaten anxiety as examinations cause anxiety neurosis not purely because of the questions framed but also because of the conditions in which they are taken; the fear and self-doubt that come closer along with them and the need on apply concepts learnt. Regular practice may not be agreeably to opposition this anxiety inward-bound students as they is plus unconscious and psychosomatic. Knowing how to deal in fear also deserves attention. Fear could be a sense of false evidence appearing terrifically and if this is the ascender onetime visualization tail breathe corrected by confiding in a mentor. Self-doubt therewith the other hand can come true about depending on the expound of self-confidence that students compel incoming their abilities. If this is the case then having overtness to miracle play that subliminal self are effective of greatheartedness exams is necessary.<\p>

Going out to buy dinner though it makes me anxious

Day 2

I slept almost 12 hours. That’s the first time I’ve managed to sleep so long since I started going to bed earlier (before 1am, but most often between 10 and 11:30). I kept waking up and normally I feel ready to get up in the morning these days, but I kept rolling over and going back to sleep. It was kind of weird.

No headache or nausea so far today. No drowsiness either, but after 12 hours of sleep, I’d be pretty annoyed if there was! Just doing some homework now. Gonna grab lunch soon.

Day 1 - Update

My doctor explained that taking anti-inflammatories excessively with my anti-depressants can cause internal bleeding. Woohoo. So, I’ll take Tylenol for the headaches from now on. I still need the Aleve for my migraines, but they’re only about once a month, so she said it’s nothing to really worry about. I’ll just keep an eye out for the signs if bleeding (massive bruises, nosebleed, etc) and if something happens, I know what’s up.

I’ll be taking my second dose tonight. I’m not sure how bad I’ll feel in the morning. I don’t have to go up to a full pill until I feel comfortable enough, so I likely won’t increase my dose until I can go a few days without the side-effects.

Europa

A short little aside to explain the name of my blog:

My counselor suggested I get a plush toy of some sort to pet. It helps me calm down. She has a golden retriever that I’m constantly tugging into my lap and stroking over the fur while we talk. It makes our sessions easier on me.

I went to Wal Mart and saw giant teddy bears for sale, $15. There were hippos and monkeys and dogs, but the shape of the bear just felt right. We went back later that night when I couldn’t get my mind off of it.

I bought the one that felt the nicest to pet. They were all made of the same material, but this one just felt right.

I carried her home on my shoulders. I named her Europa, because I’m really fascinated by the moon. 

Before naming her, I had affectionately dubbed her my “anxieteddy”.

Day 1

I woke up with a headache. That isn’t uncommon when I sleep in, but I got up early for class, so that wasn’t it. I didn’t think much of it until it persisted to my bus ride, where it got worse and the nausea started to rise up. It was mostly up and down for the 30-minute commute. By the time I arrived at class, I had a pretty bad headache and the nausea almost made me excuse myself to go to the nurse’s station.

A big of background on me: I have chronic migraines, so I’m always carrying around Aleve and gravol. (Aleve x2 and gravol x1, plus bed, to treat my migraines.) My doctor told me to avoid taking anti-inflammatory medication while on my escitalopram, but the pharmacist said there was nothing to worry about. I hate getting conflicting information. It makes me so nervous.

I had to take an Aleve for the headache because I wouldn’t be able to focus in class. I also took a gravol for the nausea. Within the hour, it was mostly gone. After two hours, it’s almost completely gone.

I’ve also felt kind of drowsy, in a different way than I usually do in morning classes. Not the “I want to go back to bed, I hate mornings” kind of tired, but a “it’s evening and i’m feeling kind of drowsy” type. It’s hard to explain. 

I’m going to talk to a nurse/doctor after class about the anti-inflammatory thing.
