Breathe a lot, Alan.
Breathe in thru' your nose to a count of 5
Exhale thru' your mouth to a count of 10
Use any numbers you want and increase them as your capacity increases.
Just make sure you exhale much longer than you inhale. Do this until you
want to pant and quit. There are many formulae for breathing down to
the stomach or breathing shallowly thru the top of the lung....see what
suits you.
Magnesium relaxes. Iodine helps folks with emotional stuff. Vitamin C
and B complex are used up quickly during times as stress; increase your
intake.
Sing romatic songs from your youth. Do NOT sing the blues and do not
sing downer country songs. IF you use affirmations, speak them, don't
just think them. Your subconscious needs to hear it.
If you're not accustomed to exercising; start. Rebound to music that
uplifts or walk where you can see beauty. Oddly, I've found the
canopied sidewalk of the nearest strip mall works for me--it's
comparatively safe and closer to home than any park. Mostly I stick to
the rebounder.
I find prayer and meditation on the Psalms serves me very well as long
as I don't get stuck in the "destroy my enemies" segments.
Breathe. Smile. Smile reallllly big so it's easier for your face to
relax back into a smile than something else. And of course, deal with
the trauma.
Shalom, Saralou

Thanks for all of the great ideas. I am a very spiritual person, I

I wish I could retire, I'm only 51 and my savings are not spectacular.

I would learn to meditate. It is the best de-stressor there is.
Good luck.

*Subject:*CS>anxiety and stress
My world has been turned upside down. After nearly 30 years at
the same company, where I always got stellar performance reviews
and incredible raises, bonuses and stock options, all of a
sudden, without warning, I am told I make too much money and my
employment is in immediate jeopardy (I'm a software engineer).
If this wasn't bad enough, my body is responding with extreme
stress and anxiety, which are severely affecting my ability to
function in my job, let alone life.
My wife has some anxiety pills which I have been taking, which
help a bit. I hate drugs, however, and am looking for other
options. I would think that some effective hypnosis program
would be useful to get this under control, but so far haven't
found anything that looks effective.
Any help is appreciated...
