by familymwr Question by Toronto Guy on " Stress Reduction ": 49 year old man here - newbie (for the most part) to relaxation techniques. I am currently undergoing significant stresses in my life and it will be getting worse over the next week. I'm prone to anxiety and I can feel it eating me up inside. With everything I do, I feel like I'm on 'fire', on red alert. I just did a half hour of controlled breathing - slowly - through my diaphram and it's not feeling any better. My chest still feel tight, numbness in my left arm, just feel like I can't catch my breath. Is it un-reasonable to expect that it would have helped even a BIT? I know it was for my first time trying, but I hoped that I'd get a little relief. I guess I feel very slightly better, but I need something else. Any other good tips for relaxing/stress relief? Best Answer: Answer by Registered® To help you out simply, I wouldn't recommend this most of the time but sin...

by drp Question by It's Easy on " Mindfulness ": I was telling my psychiatrist that when I plan out my day and something goes wrong I freak out. I really get upset and sometimes cry. A lot of times it's something really silly but for some reason I just hate it. She told me to practice mindfulness and live in the now but it's easier said than done. Can you actually focus on your every movement and thoughts throughout the day? Best Answer: Answer by livestium It takes a lot of practice to get to the stage of practising mindfulness all thru the day, but it takes very little time to get to the stage where mindfulness makes a real difference in our life.

After time your habits will change and mindfulness will become second nature. As with all things the more we prac...

by Undertaken With Love Question by Ms AA on " Natural Therapy ": I have early stage COPD and suffered with lung infections for about 30 years. I am 56 y.o. female. 4 years ago diagnosed with pseudomonas aeuriginosa of lungs which is drug resistant. Best Answer: Answer by wcanoodle Have you cleaned out your pan under your refrigerator lately? That can harbor germs and that germ likes refrigerator-like temps... Also be sure to change the furnace filter and buy one of the $ 20 ones at Krogers that eliminates smaller particles and germs. You could also buy an electric air filter with a HEPA filter on it. Do you have diabetes? Controlling the diabetes will help you to overcome infections better. See an endocrinologist for the best diabetes advice on controlling it.
