[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 593514, member: 13542"] CB, take some action, anything, go for a long walk, take a bath, go to the market, do some deep breathing exercises, that really helps with fear because we tend to shallow breathe when we are afraid. Taking some action can break the spell of fear. Fear is like a force which envelops you and gets worse if you allow it to take over your feelings because it multiplies and amplifies those feelings of scary stuff. Hound Dog going out and buying supplies is a good example of breaking the spell. Right now, take 3-4 very deep breathes, as you are doing that, concentrate on your toes, relax your toes, then take a breath and focus on your legs, relax your legs, keep going up your body, breathing deeply as you focus on different body parts.......arms, fingers, torso, shoulders, neck, head. All the while taking slow deep breaths. Every time you feel that anxiety coming on, stop, breathe, focus on your body and practice relaxing each part of your body. Breathing deeply relaxes the body, in spite of the efforts of the mind to scare us.........sending good thoughts for your serenity....... [/QUOTE]
