Taking Care of Yourself While You Care for Others

At some point in our lives, we experience physical symptoms of anxiety and stress. Why? Because we are often asked to care for a very ill, infirm or disabled loved one. At such times, they especially need our unconditional love,

Disarming the Power of Anxiety Permanently

Anxiety Attack Symptoms: Real or Virtual? photograph by Dani Kaplan

While we will concentrate here on disabling anxiety, it is also worth beginning by noting that worry and tension can sometimes activate a positive force. In a recent article addressing “signs of stress” I
wrote: “It is important to be aware that stress can have its redeeming affects: Its positive form, called “eustress,” can help you to be sharp, alert energetic and focused. It can also be a wise device working as a safety valve of protection in your life.” Likewise, anxiety in some instances can help you stay alert and vigilant. It also works as a force that begs you to find answers to a problem that requires resolution.

Of course, there are negative effects as well. In our crazy, fast-paced world today, it’s easy to imagine that the majority of people suffer with stress and anxiety attack symptoms.

It’s normal to worry and feel tense when we are under pressure or experiencing fear. It is our body’s natural response to protect us from danger. The uncomfortable feelings can be acute as in the “fight or flight response”. Or, they can be chronic and debilitating over a long period of time. Anxiety attack symptoms manifests as a wide range of physical and emotional ways. I am not a therapist. But as a spirit-guided coach, it seems clear to me that our emotions directly affect our body. They produce positive or negative thoughts. When thoughts are pessimistic, they create nonconstructive reactors in our nervous system that affect our physical body.

A non clinical path to recovery

Depression expresses itself as the absence of joy. The sufferer sees no evidence of a positive connection with Source Energy. Depression begins with the manifestation of low vibrations that rob us of vibrancy and meaning. “Depressive” thoughts and perceptions are full of negativity, and are responsible for a toxic flow of low energy. You feel miserable! Your unconscious mind says “I will never be able to know how to survive  depression“!

Depression leads to feelings of weakness, dis-empowerment, being lost, unloved, unappreciated and lack of acceptance.
When depressed, our connection to our magnificent Spiritual energy is broken. We fall into the trap of victimization, feeling sorry for ourselves.

What would happen if you could know the truth and understand what is behind those tumultuous thoughts?  Would you see how false and misleading your ego can be? Could you see how powerful you truly are? People who finally admit that they allow their egos to enslave themselves, see their artificial illusions, damaging ambitions and energy-reducing appetites begin to disappear. Are you willing to challenge yourself and make a conscious choice to change? Are you ready to break out of the yoke of depression?

Are You Missing the Most Important Element in Its Manifestation?

Everyone would answer this differently according to their personal circumstances. I have a universal answer that relates to all of us.

Why Are You Lacking Abundance and Prosperity?/photograph by Ellen kaplan: www.ellenkaplan.com

We often do not manifest the desires of our hearts because our intention to realize them is not backed up with true faith. We are blinded by familiar, doubting thoughts that assault our mind regularly and constantly.
Unless we recognize those thoughts and create new ones, with fresh perspectives, we will continue repeating the same stories over and over. What we actually do is cope with them, creating our own strategies and mechanisms to obtain abundance and prosperity in a way that adds stress and tension to our lives. We are convinced that success realization requires us to work harder then anyone else.
