3 Massage Therapist Tips To Deal With Anxiety Attacks

There are many natural remedies, herbs, and techniques that you can use in order to help ensure that you will not experience panic/anxiety attacks or any of the nasty symptoms associated with it.

It is not a secret that those who have experienced anxiety attacks in the past say that the thing they fear most is to have to experience another attack. If you are tired of being scared of another attack and need a way to overcome it, then here are 3 Powerful Massage Therapist Tips To Deal With Anxiety Attacks.

Dealing With Anxiety With Mindfulness

Since you now know what triggers the attack, you will have to be aware of the triggers. The second you are feeling the triggers, you need to distract your mind from whatever fears that you are about to feel. Put yourself in positive thinking mode, think thoughts that can makes you a happy, it can be a memory or even a person, as long as it makes you positive.

By thinking positive thoughts, you have a chance to clear your mind and think clearer of the things that are about to happen, which will help you stop from panicking.

Anxiety Diet Changes

Eating a well balance diet all of the time is another really good idea and will help you out in the long term to manage anxiety. Every food that you put into your body has a direct effect on your body and mind. Here is a quick list of things to avoid. Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and Marijuana, yes all of the things that people enjoy lead to major anxiety. It is also not a bad idea to include a multi-vitamin or any other dietary supplements that your body may need.

A really beneficial idea to stop anxiety attacks for good is to reconnect with one of your favorite hobbies. This very therapeutic. I can think of a couple really good ones: painting, playing musical instruments, gardening, and photography. All of these are very relaxing and comforting to the human soul.

Treating Anxiety With Massage Therapy

Believe it or not, Massage therapy is a great way to relax the body and help with panic attacks. You will be relaxing the body on a consistent basis - especially with expert masseurs.

The problem with massage therapy is that people can be uncomfortable. They ask questions such as: Will I have to put on any foreign ointments? Will I have to take off all my clothes including under garments? Do I have to tip?

Oils can be used, but if you are allergic, then you can advise against it's use, you can take off and strip down naked, but you are always required to wear a towel where you are not being massaged, and 15%-20% of the overall bill can be used for tips.

You can even consider doing "self-massage" therapy which will further increase blood circulation, release endorphins, and help relax your muscles - which relaxes you into not having a panic attack!

The tips above will position you to eliminate the physical symptoms and ultimately manifestations of stress that can contribute to an attack. But, you must also heed the symptoms that wear us down mentally and can send us falling off a cliff into an abyss of anxiety.

So, while you enjoy a restful day off, game of tennis, a bike ride or walks with your spouse or dog, be sure to take a few minutes to mediate. Think happy thoughts and visualize how you would like your life to be. Get specific and place your mentally in a new home, on vacation, sailing on a lake. Focus and hold those thoughts until you smile within and know that this new life is way and the future for you.
