Help For the Christian With Anxiety - Four Quick Points

Posted on August 18th, 2010 in Anxiety by thehealthyblog  Tagged , , , , ,

When a Christian struggles with anxiety, what is he or she to do?

I. Avoidance

One possible response is avoidance. When the Israelites were called into battle, the priest was commanded to ask any who were afraid to go home. Why? Lest the fear of one in battle spread fear to others. To avoid a very difficult situation was to be considerate of others who might be negatively affected.

Is it wise for an anxious and brand new driver to start practice on the fastest and busiest road? Is that a show of bravery? No, sometimes our anxiety is well placed. Sometimes avoidance is the best choice.

But as you realize, avoidance of responsibility and avoidance of things we can reasonably handle are common faults driven by fear. We may avoid a job interview out of fear of rejection or avoid letting a child grow up out of fear of losing the child’s presence in our home. We may avoid roof repair out of the fear of the cost or avoid going to a doctor out of fear of a possible diagnosis.

When all you are doing is medicating the attacks, the condition goes nowhere. The longer it stays in your system, the more asthma is going to get its claws into you.

The Cure Asthma Guide is the fruit of one woman’s labors and research, and her concerted desire to shake off the shackles that asthma had put on her.

Here’s an Effective Therapy Related Treatment For Mild Autism

Posted on August 9th, 2010 in Autism, Healthy by thehealthyblog  Tagged , , , , , ,

Once again, I am indebted to Michelle Garica Winner for her ground breaking work in the area of social thinking for persons on the spectrum. I am dedicating this article to people on the autism of all ages, not just children. Although this exercise was started for children on the autism spectrum, it can be applied for everyone.

Ms. Winner, in her book, Inside Out: What Makes The Person With Social Cognitive Deficits Tick?, (2000), she presents a hierarchy fo synergistic steps that occurs when NT’s (neurotypicals) are just sharing space, and most commonly when standing next to a stranger, whether it be in an elevator, a grocery store, or any other place.

Hypnosis For Back Pain

Posted on August 6th, 2010 in Build Muscle by thehealthyblog  Tagged , , , , , , ,

Before I even get into the use of hypnosis for back pain relief, please understand that hypnosis just like any pain medication is only treating the symptom and not the underlying cause of the pain. If you are suffering back pain, you should consult a competent professional to find the underlying cause of the pain. Back pain can result from a simple strained muscle to more sever conditions such as nerve impingements, compressed disks and in the case of a friend of mine, a cancerous tumor next to his spine. Before using hypnosis for pain control, make all attempts to find the actual cause of the pain.
