MANAGING YOUR EVERY DAY STRESSES AND ANXIETIESWritten by Stan Popovich
Looking for all of answers in how to manage your persistent anxieties and stresses? As an author of a managing fear book, I found it difficult to find all of answers in managing my anxieties. Although I am a layman and not a professional, I have interviewed many psychologists and clergyman and I have over fifteen years of experience in dealing with fear. As a result, here is a brief list of techniques that a person can use to help manage their every day stresses and anxieties. Sometimes, we get stressed when everything happens all at once. When this happens, a person should take a deep breathe and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of problem. A person could take a walk, listen to some music, read newspaper or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things. Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small notebook of positive statements that make us feel good. Whenever you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you in your pocket. Whenever you feel anxious, open up your small notebook and read those statements.

Question : IS IT safe to take both vitamins (such as vitamins C, E and multivitamins) and other herbal remedies (such as saw palmetto and pumpkin seed) together daily? I have mild hypertension (140/90 mmHg) and digestive problems, such as bloating and flatulence. Could you give a proper schedule of taking vitamins and herbal remedies. Answer : IT IS safe to take both supplements (such as vitamins C, E and multivitamins) and herbal remedies (such as saw palmetto and pumpkin seed) together with food daily. But ginkgo, garlic and fish oil should not be used in patients receiving blood- thinning drugs such as warfarin. The consumption of these supplements also has to be discontinued prior to surgery because they can prolong bleeding time. There should also be a gap of three hours when taking other medications and herbal remedies. Hawthorn, known as "mother of heart", is helpful for alleviating irregular heart rhythm and high blood pressure. Rosemary is a proven heart tonic which is high in calcium. It stimulates circulatory system and pelvic region. Typically, a healthy blood pressure reading is seen as being less than 120/80 mmHg. This level may vary according to age, stress levels and day-to-day activities.
