Anxiety Affects More than Just the Body

June 26, 2009

anxietyaffectsbodyAnxiety is a disorder that affects more than just the body. It also affects the sufferer’s mind and spirit. The causes of anxiety are deeply rooted in a person’s mind, body, and spirit.

As we grow as people, we become more aware of our “self”. We are more attuned to our mental and physical health. Our bodies become more sensitive to any tension or stressors that come in contact with us.

Anxiety can be combated and our minds, bodies, and psyche restored through performing simple exercises. One rejuvenating form of exercise is yoga. Yoga pushes us to stretch our bodies, focus on our breathing, and focus on the negative energy leaving our body. It works the problem areas where tension accumulates – our neck and shoulders.

We can also relieve ourselves from anxiety by looking to our insides. By looking inward, we can identify any negative thoughts or emotions that are getting in the way of us functioning productively. Once we remove the negative thoughts we can focus on positive energy and self-love.

Anxiety starts as a subtle feeling of unease or distress. When you begin to feel anxious, you need to recognize these feelings and focus on removing them. When you focus on the negative thoughts and emotions, you can then ask yourself what event is causing them.

Maybe something is going on in your life right now that is causing tension. Or maybe these feelings are associated with something deeper. When we become aware of the feelings that we are having we are able to focus on them and put a stop to them.

Another trick to stabilizing our anxiety is through our imagination. Oftentimes when we are suffering from anxiety, we feel as though we do not have any stability. When this happens, try closing your eyes and imagining that you are part of the earth.

Imagine that your feet are actually your roots and they burrow deep into the earth to keep you grounded. Or, you can imagine the opposite. Imagine that your body is floating up from the earth and as you float higher and higher you are being filled with energy, love and happiness.
