The more powerful images are when I was saved by Allah when I was almost sure to die. Since I think about that all the time,. I have no anxiety because convinced that my life is in the hands of the Creator. I just make sure to not repeat the past mistakes.

Anxiety is related to past events, small or great trauma, and as such they enjoy a short duration unless concentrated on to much. The temporality of anxiety is a given unless treated with drugs, alcohol etc, which tend to embed experiences and therefore accentuated and prolong anxiety. Anxiety is also common to us all. While labelling it a mental illness is not inaccurate/mental means mind/common psychiatric methodogies should be avoided. Counselling or those with knowledge of anxiety and stress are the best possible method for alleviation. The best?....probably Buddhist practices.

Anxiety reacts well to colour surrounds as these reinforce positive connections and emotions. So a few pastel colours would help. Concentrating on future tasks also helps. Just imagining yourself completing a paper or picking up children from school.

Really, anxiety is a product of modern life, traumas or not. In fact the envisoning of bright, happy moments or images helps but there is no cure. One idea is that it is about physical energy that in the modern world we use little of /so walking or any kind of regular physical exercise helps immensely.

Don't take it seriously, no matter the temptation.

DEAR @Stanley Wilkin, EXACTLY RIGHT. THANKS FOR SHARING GREAT VIEWS

The more powerful images are when I was saved by Allah when I was almost sure to die. Since I think about that all the time,. I have no anxiety because convinced that my life is in the hands of the Creator. I just make sure to not repeat the past mistakes.

The Serene Beach Scene

The following is a beach scene visualization exercise that you can practice on your own. Beach scenes are one of the most popular visualizations due to their calming and tranquil impact. Feel free to change it to better suit your needs and imagination. Use this visualization to relax, unwind and briefly escape from your day-to-day tasks.

To get started, begin by imagining that you are resting on a white sandy beach. The water is turquoise and the sky is clear. You can hear the soft waves of the water as the tide gently rolls in. You feel safe, calm and relaxed. The weight of your body sinks into your chair. You can feel the warmth of the sand on your feet. A large umbrella keeps you slightly shaded, creating just the right temperature that you prefer. You relax your face. Notice how you are able to let go of tension in your forehead, between your eyebrows, your neck, and your throat. You soften your eyes and rest. There is no effort to be here. Spend some time just taking it all in. Allow your breath to slow down and match the rolling waves of the water.

Once this relaxation feels complete, imagine that you get up and slowly walk away from the beach. Remember that this beautiful place is here for you whenever you need to come back. Take your time and slowly open your eyes.

Use Your Own Creativity

If the beach scene doesn’t really fit you, try coming up with your own visualization. Think of a place or situation that you find to be very relaxing, such as lying down in a large field of flowers and grass, or enjoying a beautiful view of a mountain or forest. When visualizing your calming scene, think about what you are experiencing through all of your senses. Notice what you hear, smell, taste and how your body feels. When you feel ready to leave your relaxation scene, take your time and gradually return your mind to the present.

To get better at visualization, try practicing at least several times a day. Relaxation techniques tend to be more helpful if you first start practicing at a time when you are not experiencing high anxiety. Through regular practice, you will more easily be able to use visualization when you really need it, such as when you start feeling the physical symptoms of panic and anxiety.

Visualization and imagery (sometimes referred to as guided imagery) techniques offer yet another avenue for stress reduction. These techniques involve the systematic practice of creating a detailed mental image of an attractive and peaceful setting or environment. Guided imagery can be practiced in isolation, but it is frequently paired with physical relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and massage. When guided imagery is paired with physical relaxation techniques, the aim is to associate the sensations of relaxation with the peaceful visual image, so that future practice sessions involving imagery alone will quickly bring back to mind the physical sensations of relaxation.

There is no single correct way to use visual imagery for stress relief. However, something similar to the following steps is often recommended:

• Find a private calm space and make yourself comfortable.
• Take a few slow and deep breaths to center your attention and calm yourself.
• Close your eyes.
• Imagine yourself in a beautiful location, where everything is as you would ideally have it. Some people visualize a beach, a mountain, a forest, or a being in a favorite room sitting on a favorite chair.
• Imagine yourself becoming calm and relaxed. Alternatively, imagine yourself smiling, feeling happy and having a good time.
• Focus on the different sensory attributes present in your scene so as to make it more vivid in your mind. For instance, if you are imagining the beach, spend some time vividly imagining the warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of the ocean, seaweed and salt spray, and the sound of the waves, wind and seagulls. The more you can invoke your senses, the more vivid the entire image will become.
• Remain within your scene, touring its various sensory aspects for five to ten minutes or until you feel relaxed.
• While relaxed, assure yourself that you can return to this place whenever you want or need to relax.
• Open your eyes again and then rejoin your world.

Psychologists Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D. and Stefanie Goldstein Ph.D. have produced an audio CD titled Mindful Solutions for Stress Anxiety and Depression, which can be purchased from their website. You can listen to (and benefit from) a sample 5-minute guided breathing meditation from that CD just below. Short though it is, daily practice using this sample can be transformative. Research conducted in 2005 by Dr. Elisha Goldstein demonstrated that study subjects who spent 5 minutes a day practicing a guided meditation exerise similar to this one reported significantly reduced stress levels and enhanced feelings of well-being compared to control subjects. For maximum benefit, we encourage you to bookmark this page and return daily to practice with this free sample.

Following answers.

It may sound obvious, but all you need is just a little more optimism. Researchers have studied an area of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), part of the prefrontal cortex, which plays a pivotal role in how we control our emotions and behaviors because it assigns emotions to particular intellectual information that we process. The OFC has been linked to anxiety disorders in past studies, and this study showed that the larger the gray matter in the left side of the OFC, the more resilient the brain becomes against anxiety. The way to a larger OFC? Training yourself to respond more positively to stressful events, and to stay optimistic on a moment-to-moment basis. You can do that in two ways: killing negative intrusive thoughts as they occur through a visualization technique that I call the “Stop Sign”, and maintaining optimism in the long term through the common mindfulness technique of meditation.

Nothing worth, little exercise, quiet music, seeing children lighten up and playing

Dear Researcher,

I have always recovered from stress and anxiety by solving the unwanted situation. The patience, deep thinking, counseling and analysis remain positive images to handle with the stress and anxiety.

The way I overcome anxiety is litterally visualizing getting rid of it.

I imagine anxiety as a separate object that I hold in my hands (something like that thing Harry Protter found in his head as the remains of Voldemort) and then I throw it at vast void in the backyard of my mind palace.

One may call it suppression, but it has improved my social life and coping with stress overall.
