Laughter is the best medicine, now there is a very common comment. I also believe this one, laughter is the best medicine.

When you are laughing and enjoying yourself there is no better feeling. Your spirits are high, your outlook is positive, and you feel better all over.

Haven’t you ever experienced a time when you were at your lowest and that right person came along and said or did something that just made you start laughing? Have you ever watched a show on TV and someone did something that made you laugh out loud when you were the only one in the room? Here’s a good one too, how about reading cards that you are buying for someone and you find yourself laughing out loud in the store? Laughing is a great remedy for all that ails you.

I have been dealing with some health issues lately and this last week it has really been a little difficult. I am going to be having some surgery done and I went to tell my best friend what was going on. She is a cook and was working in the kitchen where she works so I went in there to talk to her. As I was telling her I started to cry a little and she came over to give me a hug and I went to hug her back. In that little bit of time she closed the microwave door that was right beside us and my sleeve got caught in the door. I had to say, I can’t hug you because I am stuck in the microwave door. We both started laughing, it took the pressure off and made it all easier in some ways.
My friends and family make me laugh a lot and I know from experience that it is my best medicine.

I watch Ellen on TV for that reason, the woman can make me laugh like no other. I enjoy her so much and I can count that I will laugh while watching her show. Friends and Mad About You use to do the same thing.

Find whatever it takes to give you a laugh in your day. It doesn’t matter if it is a TV show, friends, family, or a stranger for that matter. You will feel so much better from laughing and you will be able to handle whatever is in your path in a healthier manner.

Have you recently been woken by anxiety attacks in the middle of the night? This happens to a lot of people and can be a genuinely terrifying experience so you are not alone. I feel for you because this used to happen to me but I took action and now I am over it, I have not had it happen to me in over a year. So why are you being woken by anxiety attacks in the middle of the night?

Stress - They say the most obvious answer is usually the right one and this is right here. Really have a close look at your life and determine what exactly has changed recently or you have been thinking about that is causing you stress. Maybe it is your job? Your Kids? Financial problems? It may take a while thinking to come up with something here.

You suffer anxiety attacks because you feel a lack of control over your surroundings and the base of that is fear.What I have found useful is to define the absolute worse thing that could happen. If it is financial trouble then you might lose your house, go bankrupt and have to live at a relatives house until you get stable again. Could you handle this? This really helps define your fears and banish them.

Many think that dreams are the time when your memories become solid and pass into long term memory. If your thoughts all day have been about negative things and feeling helpless this will store in your long term memory and this can be damaging. It is probably the reason you are waking in the middle of the night.

Anxiety attacks are a terrible thing and nobody deserves the torment but look at it like this. It affects everyone around you. Your kids and friends and family are affected even though they might say "I’m fine". This is a great motivation. Do your friends and kids deserve to see the best version of you day to day? Will you regret not changing right NOW in a few years?

Do you constantly worry and feel like your world could fall apart at any moment? Are you someone that thinks they suffer form anxiety and panic attacks? There are many people in this world that suffer from these types of attacks and they are not only bad for your health, but very horrible to go through. It is never fun to feel like you don’t have control anymore. Here is how you can get that control back.

First, when it comes to anxiety and panic attacks you need to know that the first step to getting better is always going to be identifying the root cause. If you went to a doctor they might not go this route, but it is the best way to go. It is like having something in your eye. The only way to get it out is to identify that you have something in your eye that is causing the discomfort, then you fish it out.

Second, with anxiety and panic attacks you need to know that you are not alone. This is helpful because if you feel alone it will just make the problem worse. This also means that you need to ask your friends and family that have witnessed your attacks and are closest to you what they think caused the attacks. You might have to make them tell you the truth and be ready to hear some things that you might not want to hear.

Last, you also need to seek out help in the form of a guide to getting rid of these attacks. Anxiety cannot be cured by prescription drugs or a visit to your doctor. Panic cannot be cured by therapy sessions, but both can be controlled and eliminated by using a natural remedy that is set up in a step by step guide. These guides are found in bookstore and on the internet. They might cost you a small fee, but you have to wonder how much an anxiety free life is worth to you.
