What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
Unfortunately they are not so obvious. Some of the most recognizable tell tail signs may be
- elevated heart rate
- unstoppable worrying
- feeling hot and cold (body unable to regulate)
- tightening of the chest and difficulty breathing naturally
- compulsive behavior and obsessive thinking
How to Cope with Stress:
I had read about ways to deal with anxiety and how to manage stress at work. Meditation and berating came up a lot. All fine and well but just how exactly do you know if you are doing it right?
How Do you Handle Stress:
When you are under stress your heart rhythm changes, not only does your heart rate go up but the spacing between each heart beat becomes more uniform. Consider this basic and over simplified example looking at three heart beats patterns
Spacing Between Heart Beats:
| Beat 1 | Beat 2 | Beat 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extremely Stressed | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Stressed | 1 | 1.2 | 1 |
| Coherent | 1.2 | 0.8 | 1.3 |
How to Relax Your Mind:
I purchased the emWave2 back in October 2013 I was looking for ways to deal with stress and now have been using it almost every day since. The device comes with an instruction booklet and explains something called the “quick coherence technique” It is a very easy 3 step technique and only takes a few minutes.
How to Deal with Anger:
Driving can be one of the most stressful activities of the day.
The car in front is driving so slow or someone cuts you off, road works, very quick green light and a slow ass in front of you.
The emWave2 come with an ear sensor so you can train yourself to stay coherent while you drive and not engage the parasympathetic response ” fight or flight response” Once mastered you can arrive to work feeling a hell of a lot less stressed. I you are after ways to deal with stress this is the perfect device for you.
