Natural Ways to Ease Anxiety

Whether you’re worried about work, home or personal issues, stress and anxiety can take a heavy toll on your mental and physical health.  Many serious illnesses are caused in part by anxiety.  The state of constant worry can leave you feeling worn down, irritable and out of control.   So how can you learn to manage your anxiety?  There are many natural ways to ease anxiety.

We all deal with anxiety and stress from time to time. In fact, it’s probably the number one complaint and cause for visits to the doctor’s office. And stress and anxiety can lead to a number of health problems including insomnia and heart disease.  In short, too much anxiety is a bad thing.

Here are three natural ways to ease anxiety.   

#1 Meditate. You’ll be amazed what five minutes of meditation can do for your overall sense of well being. That’s it, five minutes. Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to sit on the floor for an hour and chant. Start with five minutes of focusing on your breathing. As you begin to reap the benefits you’ll want to meditate longer. It’ll improve your physical and emotional health. You’ll not only be able to relax immediately when you’re feeling stressed, you’ll begin to manage stress much better.  This is one of the top natural ways to ease anxiety.

Next time you’re feeling overly anxious or stressed go find a quiet place where you can be undisturbed for five minutes. Sit down so you’re comfortable, on a chair or on the floor, whichever works best. Close your eyes and simply focus on your breathing. As thoughts come into your mind, and they will, don’t judge them or react, simply set them aside and continue to focus on your breathing. You’ll feel so much better – instant relaxation.

#2 Daydream. If you’re struggling with meditation or that’s just not your style, daydream instead. Imagine yourself someplace relaxing. Some place that makes you feel happy and free. Find a quiet place, or just close your eyes at your desk, and allow yourself to daydream for five minutes. Make your daydreams as vivid as possible. Imagine what things smell like, what they feel like. What sounds do you hear? 

#3 Change your mindset. They say that we attract what we project. With that line of thinking the more you focus on how stressed you are, the more stress you’re going to feel. You’re going to attract stress and anxiety to you. A quick shift in your mindset, however, can provide instant relaxation.

Next time you’re feeling stressed or fearful, stop your anxiety ridden thoughts and think about five things you’re grateful for. Think about what brings you joy, about the good people in your life, think about what makes you feel happy and good. Sometimes simply thinking about all that you have that’s good can help make the things that are stressing you seem quite insignificant.

Anxiety and stress unfortunately are a part of our life. Sometimes it’s helpful, sometimes it’s harmful. If you feel you are chronically anxious or if you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, it’s important to put these three natural ways to ease anxiety in use for you.  It’s also important to see a doctor to help determine if you suffer from an anxiety disorder. Stress and anxiety don’t have to rule your life.

No Excuses Get Organized Now

Do you ever feel defeated before you even get started? Do you have a million reasons (read: excuses!) why you can’t get organized? Believe me, we have all been where you are. We’ve all used the same excuses to avoid getting things organized. For every excuse we can find to use, there is a solution.

So, if you are motivated to get organized, join along with us as we resolve our excuses and get organized.

1. There’s just too much stuff!

Get rid of the stuff! I know we sound like a broken record when we say this, but it just illustrates the need to reduce the ‘stuff’. If there is just too much stuff, it’s time to remove some, whether you donate it, hold a garage sale, advertise on Freecycle or Craigslist, or just trash it– bottom line, get rid of the stuff!

2. I don’t know where to start.

No matter what, you have to just pick a place and start. It isn’t going to get any better until you do. It helps to know what needs to be done. To accomplish this, you need to make a master list. It isn’t a hard thing to do, it’s just a list of every single thing you want to do in your home, including decorating, remodeling and so forth. You can do a whole house Master List, or you can do a room by room Master List. Once you have completed your initial list, move one or two items from it to your daily or weekly to-do list. Don’t try to do more than one or two items weekly, it will get too overwhelming.

3. I just don’t have time.

No one has every single second of every single day scheduled. No matter how busy we are, we all can find five, ten or even fifteen minutes in which we can get things done. It doesn’t sound like much time, but you will be amazed at how much you can get accomplished in just a few minutes a day.

4. I want to get it all done now.

In all likelihood, your home did not get in this condition over night. No matter what, you aren’t going to be able to change things overnight, or in one marathon session. It is highly likely you would only get discouraged and give up. So, schedule time into your day, just as you would any other important appointment, to work for that amount of time, whatever your task may be. Slowly, little by little, you will see changes.

5. I don’t know how to go about getting organized.

Well, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find tons of tips and ideas in this newsletter, on my site, in my books and throughout my discussion forum. Everything you need is right at your fingertips when you visit the Get Organized Now! web site.

6. My spouse won’t toss anything.

So, don’t worry about your spouse’s belongings. You can’t expect to jump in cold and change your spouse’s ways.

If you are unable to convince your spouse to donate or sell his/her things, then just work on your things. Then negotiate with your spouse to declutter family things, or jointly owned things. Otherwise, just focus on decluttering and organizing your own items. Eventually your spouse may be inspired to join you in decluttering and organizing. Once your spouse sees how nice things look, and how easy they are to find, he/she will be more likely to team up in your quest to declutter and organize.

7. I get it organized, but it doesn’t stay that way.

And it won’t…unless you put routines in place to help you maintain it. Just like your home doesn’t stay clean once you clean it (wouldn’t we all love that!), you need routine upkeep to keep things organized. A) Start cleaning up after you do anything. If you make a sandwich, clean up so that after you eat your sandwich, no one knows you’ve made one. B) Pick it up and put it away. If you see something out of place, pick it up and put it away. Just practicing these two routines each day will go a long way towards keeping things cleaned up and organized.

8. My children undo, whatever I do.

No matter what age your children are, they can and should have responsibilities around the home. Hold a family meeting and discuss all of the things that need to be done to keep your home running smoothly. Let your children choose which age-appropriate chores to do. If they choose them, they are more likely to complete them. Let them know too that they can re-negotiate which chores they’d prefer at the next meeting.

Hold regular family meetings, twice a month or even once a month. Every family member needs to be a cooperating family member. Remember, you are the parent, you are in charge. Be their parent, not their friend. Teach them what they need to know to be a functioning, responsible adult.

9. But, I might need it someday.

Every one of us has felt that way. The reality is that almost everything you do toss won’t be missed at all. In all likelihood, you won’t even remember what you’ve tossed. When a friend’s grandfather died and things had to be cleaned out, it was amazing to see all the stuff he hung onto, just because he might need it someday. The list was very long and included things like bent, rusty nails, because someone might need them! If you do need it someday, in all likelihood, you can purchase it at a rummage sale, rent it or borrow it.

10. I don’t know what I should get rid of.

There is an easy way to know what should stay and what should go. When trying to decide if an item should stay or go, ask yourself two questions. 1. Do I love it? 2. Do I use it? If the answer to both of these questions isn’t yes — donate, sell, recycle or trash it. If you don’t love it and use it, it shouldn’t be taking up space in your home. And that includes gifts that you’re keeping out of guilt. If it’s something you are keeping for sentimental reasons that you just can’t bear to part with, box it up and put the current date on the box, nothing more.

Mark your calendar about 6 months out. In six months, if you can’t remember what is even in the box, and you didn’t go to open it in the 6 months, it’s very probable that you can donate the box and not even miss the items. If you do remember and still don’t want to part with it, then start using and loving that item–frame it, display it, pass it to a child–give it the love and use it deserves!

Time Management Working from Home

It’s hard to beat working from home. When you work from home, you have the ability to work around the things going on in your life. You don’t have to worry about asking for a day off if you need it or taking a sick day. However, although there are many great benefits of working from home, you won’t be able to fully enjoy these benefits if you don’t practice good time management working from home. You must learn how to effectively manage your time to making working from home profitable and pleasurable.

If you don’t manage your time then your time will manage you. This is not a good situation for the work at home professional. Below are a few tips for how to get the effectively manage your time while working from home.

1. Get Organized. Everyone’s version of being organized is different and it really doesn’t matter what your idea of organization is, as long as you follow it. When you are able to walk in to your office space and it is organized, then you will find you spend less time moving things around and “preparing” to work. Instead, you will be able to come in, sit down and get to work.

2. Develop a Schedule. While the appeal of working from home is having the ability to work the hours that are convenient for you, it’s still important that you have some type of work schedule. Time management and working from home go hand and hand. Some work at home professionals have a set schedule of hours that they work every day while others plan out their working hours week by week. Both methods are fine, when you are consistent and follow your schedule. By developing a work schedule, you are managing time as you’re setting aside certain hours a day to commit to work, which will make you more productive.

3. Avoid Time Consuming Activities. During your scheduled work hours, it important that you avoid getting sidetracked with time-consuming activities. Checking emails, social networking sites, reviewing your online banking information, etc. are all time-consuming activities that should be done on your “non-working hours.” These activities seem innocent, but can easily take up 30 minutes to an hour if you aren’t careful.

4. Don’t Forget Breaks. Before your workday begins, review your schedule and make sure you have scheduled in a few breaks here and there. They may only be 15 or 20 minute breaks, but it’s important you do allow yourself a couple breaks. Breaks give you time to clear your mind and usually help increase productivity for those who work from home.

5. Schedule Time Off. One of the drawbacks of working from home is that your work place is in the home with you. This makes it very difficult to leave work. However, it’s important that you do schedule time off for yourself. Many work at home professionals have fallen into the “workaholic” trap because they feel they should be working until they are caught up with everything. When this happens, it takes away the fun of working from home. Therefore, make sure you schedule yourself days off to give yourself a much needed break. Plus, your family wants to see you too!

Working from home is a very rewarding experience, especially if you have children or other outside commitments that make working a traditional job difficult. However, before you will be successful working from home, you have to effectively manage your time. By following the tips above, you should have no problem practice good time management working from home. Finding a great schedule for managing your time will increasing your daily work productivity rate…which means, increasing your profits too!

Time Management Techniques

Incorporating some basic time management techniques into your day will save you time, frustration and money.

Have you ever felt like someone just pressed the Fast-forward button on your day and before you know it the day is over and you are sitting there wondering what you’ve accomplished? This is where good time management techniques come into play.

If you’ve ever been to New York, specifically walked the streets of Manhattan, you will immediately notice everyone is rushing around, seemingly clueless as to where they are going. Typical of major cities, visitors always ask, “Where is everyone running to?” Actually, the question should be, “Why is everyone in such a hurry?” It’s all about time. She’s late for lunch; he’s going to miss the train or bus home; we’ll be late for dinner. No one ever stops to think about the amount of time wasted worrying about it. The realization that proper planning is the key to saving time has somehow eluded us. It’s important, then, to discuss time management techniques to effectively yield positive results.

Preparation: Make a daily list of things to do, appointments to keep, and so on. Let’s explore ways of coping with stress that are both healthy and effective.

Don’t Be Late - If you have an appointment, leave an hour earlier. Together with traffic delays and phone call interruptions, you’ll have plenty of time to arrive at your destination.

First on the List - When making a list of things to do, begin with the most important item first. Then prioritize the rest as you complete your list.

Throw Perfectionism out the Window - If you have an important engagement, wedding or other function to attend; don’t waste so much time over the minor things which will cause you to be late. You know the old saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” It happens to be true. Conversely, if you expect company for the holidays, don’t freak out because your kitchen floor isn’t spotless. No one cares but you. Friends are coming to your home to see you, not the floor.

Don’t Procrastinate - If you’ve started a home project, but you have to pick up a friend at a certain time; drop what you are doing and go. If that doesn’t work, have your friend call you every 15 minutes until you’ve left the house.

Don’t Be Afraid to Say, “Sorry, I Can’t.” - Perhaps you are working on a project at work, and you must leave on time to pick up your children this particular day. Your boss asks if you can stay an extra hour. You feel torn about saying no for fear you may upset your boss. Stop! You are a hard worker; you’re very efficient, and you’ve always been there when your boss needed you. It’s time to think of you. Simply say, “Sorry, I can’t today.”

Incorporating some time management techniques is important. It is a basic and important component in how we conduct our business; our lives, and even our free time. It should not be wasted nor squandered; but used for preparing our daily routines; our work habits; and our family responsibilities.

Stay Positive and Love Your Life

For many of us, as we get caught up in the hectic nature of everyday life, life may cease to be enjoyable. When we do have a moment to reflect, we may find ourselves dissatisfied with how things are. This, in turn, may lead to more activities and stress than ever, as we try to avoid thinking about the life we’re unhappy with.

Learning to stay positive and love your life  is a key element in breaking this cycle. Here are some tips on how to achieve that.

Engage in Stress Relief

This can take many forms, but most experts agree that a combination of exercise and meditation is most effective. Meditation and/or prayer helps ease and calm the mind. Physical exercises help align the body and bring physical balance and sometimes relief from pain. These are vital aspects of a life well loved. Some ideas include:

* Yoga
* Meditation
* Martial Arts
* Pilates

Natural supplements may also help with stress relief, and overall they may help you to stay positive and love your life.  Fish oil and/or flax and evening primrose oils are great natual suppements to add into your diet. Because these oils are also implicated in depression relief, it may help you love your life.

Cease to Explain

A sense of self-justification can wear you out. If you feel the need to explain and justify yourself and your actions all the time, you will not only wear yourself out; you will wear out those around you. Learn to let it go – if people misunderstand something, it really is not a big deal.

A Healthy Lifestyle

Taking care of yourself is a big step in the right direction. You may find it a lot easier to love your life if you feel good, if your digestion is healthy and your body exudes a healthy glow.

First, eat a healthy diet. Go for organic foods wherever possible, and eat whole, fresh foods rather than packaged ones. The fewer chemicals in your diet, the clearer your mind is likely to be. Preservatives, artificial coloring and flavoring, and pesticides may have a profound effect on mental and physical functioning, and if you want to love your life, your mind needs to be clear and free of depression and confusion.

Many sources point to sugar and caffeine consumption as being the culprits in depression, sluggishness, weight gain, and insomnia. So a healthy lifestyle would involve very limited amounts of these substances in your diet.

Exercise is another important aspect of building a life worthy of loving. It’s certainly part of a healthy lifestyle, and it helps both mind and body. Loving your life may be a lot easier if you are happy with your body.

Loving your life means being happy with your mind, body, and personality. It means accepting who you are and being comfortable in your own skin. Hopefully, implementing some or all of the above will put you on the right path to loving your life.  By using many of the tips above you too will soon learn to stay positive and love your life.

Create a Stress Support System

Stress is a natural human reaction to situations that life throws at us when we’re not expecting it. It can cause physical as well as psychological problems and can escalate to severe anxiety attacks if those problems are not met head on. It is important to always deal with the stress that you are feeling.

Moms are a crucial part of the family network. We always joke that if mom gets ill, the family would crumble. That may not be far from the truth. So, mom, who do you turn to in times of stress to keep from crumbling?

A support system is important for busy moms. It’s easy to get weighed down by doctor’s appointments, work deadlines, family obligations, and housework. Hanging across the bed crying your eyes out is usually a sign to activate your stress support system.

A mom’s stress support system consists of her circle of acquaintances, family, friends, and professional associations. Anyone that is willing to stand in the gap for you when you need something becomes a part of the system. In turn, you are a part of that system for someone else.

Start with your family. They are the system’s first line of defense. When mom gets overloaded, family members will notice first. Their radar will go off before anyone else’s. Don’t be afraid to ask your spouse to wash the dishes or help with homework because you need a minute to yourself.

Children are particularly sensitive to changes in the home. One of my sons made a card for me telling me how much he loved me because he saw that I was down. It made me cry even harder. He must have thought that I was cracking up, but I was happy. The support system had worked.

Your other family members are a part of the system. My sisters are my best girlfriends. We can talk and laugh when something is bothering us. We might not come up with a solution but the laughter reduces the stress. It’s nice to be understood and have some ice cream when you’re down.

Professional associations are important to the stress support system, too. If the source of the stress is a legal matter, a lawyer can help you to see your way clear to a solution. The same goes for a good mechanic, doctor, hairstylist, and educator. It’s amazing how much easier stressful situations are to handle when you have professionals at hand who you can lean on … and trust. Your car breaks down? No problem. Just call Lawrence, your trusty mechanic. Kids have a toothache? No worries. Dr. Stu will save the day. Stress comes from the most unlikely places so your support system needs to include as many different sources of help as you can find.

I have also found answers on the Internet on message boards, when I’ve been stressed and needed help. Moms have many websites that cater to them and their special needs as working mom or stay at home mom. You may never meet these other women in person, but a close bond can be formed across the digital highway. Your closest friend could be in cyberspace. There’s nothing wrong with that. Turn to them if you need to talk. You don’t have to go it alone.

A support system is crucial for stress management. If you don’t have one, start recruiting today. Moms can always use the extra support.

Reaching Our Dreams

It’s safe to say that everyone has goals and dreams that they would like to achieve at some point in their lives. However, not everyone reaches these goals and dreams. There are a number of reasons why people fail in reaching our dreams, but it really boils down to the fact that many people don’t know how to go about reaching your dreams.

Below is a short list of simple steps you can do to get you on the road to achieving your goals!

 
1.   Determine What Your Dreams Really Are. First, you need to do when going about reaching your dreams, is to sit down and think hard about what you ­really want to achieve in life. Come up with short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. Short-term goals are considered to be those that can be reached in a few weeks or months. Intermediate goals are those that may take a couple of years to reach while long-term goals are those that will take five years or more to obtain.  

2.   Create a “Dream Board.” It may sound silly, but one of the best ways to get motivated, and stay motivated, is to visualize your dreams as often as possible.  A great way to begin reaching your dreams is to create a dream board. This doesn’t have to be any larger than a piece of paper, if you don’t want it to be. Basically, what you will do is cut out pictures that represent the individual goals and/or dreams for your life.

3.   Create a Workable Plan. Unfortunately, you can’t make your goals appear by visualizing them every day…you actually have to work for them. Therefore, break each goal down into workable steps that will bring you closer to your goals. You want to be proactive in achieving your goals on a daily basis, if possible. Therefore, make sure you are doing something (even if it is little) every day that puts you closer to your goals and dreams.

4.   Make a Timeline. Once you’ve decided on a workable plan for your goals, decide how long each goal should take you to achieve. Don’t go crazy and set unrealistic time frames either. You need to take into consideration how much you’re going to be able to work on these goals each day and then create a reasonable time frame for each goal. It’s okay to set somewhat of a “tight” deadline to keep you motivated and working, just don’t make it unattainable because you will quickly lose your motivation.

5.   Work Your Plan and “Check-In” Regularly. The last thing you have to do in order to be successful in reaching your dreams is to start working your plan every day – and stick with it! In order to help keep you motivated, you need check in regularly with your timeline to make sure you’re still on track to achieve your goals when you want to. This should be done once a week, at the minimum.

Reaching your dreams may not be easy, but it is possible when you are dedicated and work hard. The steps listed above will help you reach the goals you’ve set for your life, but you have to commit to doing them. It’s easy to get burned out after a week or so, just keep pressing on and you’ll be surprised at how much you’ve accomplished!

What is Your ‘Why’?

Have you ever sat down, reflected on your life and asked yourself “Why do I do what I do”? 

Over 9 years ago as I was a Stay At Home Mom I asked myself “What would make me happy” and the answer was clear and simple.  What makes me happy is helping other women feel great about themselves by helping them to become exactly who they want to be. 

Recently I’ve been visiting a great website called WAHM Solution that is run by Leanne Chesser and Cheryl Wilms and they’ve had a great series of posts on self esteem, self worth, and Discovering Your Passion.   This series of posts really spoke to me because finding out exactly what makes you “tick” and feel totally alive is so important to your happiness.

Last night, was rough at our house.  We had a water main break right in front of our house which left us with no water for over 10hours and about 2 inches of mud all over our driveway, street and unfortunately our cars too.  UGH.  It was a mess.  When I got up today, I wasn’t in the best of all moods but hey, ‘the show must go on’.  I got myself ready for the day, loaded up the car with my son and our Schnauzer (yes, he comes to work with me) and then I headed off to work.  As I sat at my desk checking my email, one in particular caught my eye.   It was an email send to me in response to a newletter that I sent out yesterday about ‘Tips to Reduce Stay-At-Home Mom Stress’.   I clicked on the email and read the following….

I would like to say thank you very much for what u do. It seems like you know what I am going thru at the right time. Even though you do not know me personally.

 

Thank you so much thru your emails and update you have inspired me to keep my head up thru all of my situation

The email above is exactly why I do what I do!  Providing resources and services  that help women feel connected and supported is my ultimate why.

Here’s a question for you:

Why do you do what you do? 

(You can answer this question as it pertains to your personal or business life.)

Someone neutral, who won’t judge you, who truly wants to help you overcome certain obstacles and help you be as successful as you possibly can?

Ways To Manage Stress In The Workplace

Many people are looking for ways to manage stress in the workplace. Let’s face it. Work can be stressful at times and stress causes both emotional and physical troubles for people.

In this difficult economy, many of us are finding it harder than ever to find ways to manage stress in the workplace.  Regardless of occupation, seniority, or salary level, we’re spending more and more of our work days feeling frazzled and out of control, instead of alert and relaxed.

Below are some effective ways to manage stress in the workplace:

(ARA) – From paltry paychecks to annoying coworkers, more than three quarters of Americans are stressing out about something related to their job, according to a new study.

The vast majority of Americans (77 percent) are stressed by at least one thing at work, finds the Harris Interactive-Everest College Work Stress Survey. The most common issues are: low pay, commuting, unreasonable workload and concern over being fired or laid off. But these are not the only issues American workers are facing – annoying coworkers also made the list, followed by difficulty with a boss, poor work-life balance and lack of opportunity for advancement.

“We’ve seen numerous surveys that confirm workplace stress has increased during the last several years,” says Wendy Cullen, vice president of employer development for Everest College.

Concerns over low pay and job security are consistently one of the top stressors for Americans. In most regions of the U.S., 16 percent of Americans listed low pay as their top stressor, and concerns over job security were a close second. For example, 13 percent of college graduates ranked losing their job as the biggest stressor, which is in line with Americans without college degrees.

“One change we are seeing is that more and more Americans are pursuing careers in industries like health care, which offers more long-term stability.” Switching careers or going back to school to gain access to a more secure or better paying career is one technique that many individuals use to deal with insecurity in the workplace.

Ways to Manage Stress in the Workplace

“The impact of stress cannot be overstated,” says Davis Brimberg, a Los Angeles-based psychologist who focuses on workplace issues. “Almost all psychological problems are worsened by stress. People of all occupations and income levels are greatly affected,” he says. Workplace stress can have negative consequences on your performance at work, and your life.

There are a number of techniques for dealing with workplace stress. First, learn to recognize the symptoms – you may feel a constant sense of nervousness, which can often lead to feeling withdrawn, irritable or apathetic. Stress is also associated with physical problems, such as fatigue and muscle tension.

Physical exercise is also shown to help with stress management. Aerobic exercises have been shown to release mood-raising endorphins, so getting 30 minutes of exercise a day can actually help decrease your stress levels. It is also important to get enough sleep, which can help your body deal with the effects of stress throughout the day, and makes you better able to manage emotional swings.

There are also important strategies in your workplace that can help you deal with stress. Do not over-commit to non-essential tasks. Prioritize important tasks, and learn to delegate non-essential ones. Also, you can schedule regular breaks into your daily routine to allow yourself to get away from your workstation or office.

Additionally, Brimsburg suggests that getting help can be effective. “Counseling can be very helpful in relieving signs and symptoms of stress-related issues.”
