Loving yourself ~

Emotional stability

When you were born into this world, and still alive, no matter what the colour of your skin, what position you hold, where do you lived, level of your study, and even whether you are normal or not, but if you are still alive, and breathing , it is always a great gift from Allah that we all should be grateful of .

It is a normal life facing with problems, obstacles, failures, frustrations and everything, but just always bear in mind that it is not a right thing to harm you body, physically or mentally because of your problem. Allah will never test a person beyond the limit that he or she can withstand. Life is always beautiful, never throw it all away just because it gets bumpy a little bit in the middle.

First , let see how we can take care our inner side, the heart and soul, or mental and emotion part of our self.

Panic attacks!


Yes, it’s panic attacks!, and guess what, this panic thing really helps you nothing when you encounter any sudden problems and obstacles. Just making things worst, it actually also have bad effects on your behavior, you when you get panic, there are some usual effects on your self ;

· There’ll be a rush of adrenaline in your blood
· The ability of your mind to think wisely decreased and often you’ll made wrong decision
· Sometime your body start to shiver and in usually you tend to forget things that you’d memorized

Everybody, relax, take it easy ~… let see how we can actually over come this panic attacks, nervous thing ;

1. Always, always first take a very deep breath, don’t care, maybe not once just do it trice or even more, and smile, enough with a simple smile, or if you think this is just not enough, it’s okay if you just laugh, for example, when you walk into the exam hall, answering question you forget to revised, take a deep breath, smile, laugh at the question but not until you disturb others attention. Then you’ll be calmer, and your brain ability to recall what you memorized, or heard from your lecturer will increased. For Muslims, there are some prayers you can memorize and apply while facing this problem.
2. Say to your self that the problem you’re facing will never harm you, never that it has the power to kill you, or even touch you, it is not dangerous.
3. Remember that this panic attacks will not stay for a long time, it will go just within a short period.
4. If you’d watch a movie , “Awake”, played by Hayden Christensen,when he is still awake during his heart transplant procedure due to a phenomenon called anesthesia awareness, he is still awake when the dr. operated him, open up his chest, but he just paralyzed due to anesthesia procedures done on him and he can’t even talk or move a finger, but how he overcome the panic attack? The pain? He distract him self from focusing to what he’s facing, he focus into thing that he likes, that make him happy, remember just distract your mind from thinking of your problem, and think something nice.
5. If you panic because you think that a terrible experience going to repeat, remember, it rarely happened for a second times, unless you think too much about it that you’ll actually making it happened again. Past will never has the power becoming present, or future, you actually give it. The best way, forget the past!
6. Well, if you’d tried all the above and still didn’t worked out, there are some treatments you can take, for this problem, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is the most suitable one, please consult your dr. for further treatments.
