So your days are running together because you are subjected to stress coming from all directions and you just can’t seem to get a handle on what it is that is causing all the problems and making you a physical and emotional wreck. You forget that everyone is suffering from stresses of one sort or another, and it is how you handle those stresses that will determine just how much your life will be controlled by anxiety sweating. How about those guys way back in the dim annals of human history that were running around in hides and living in caves making drawings on the walls. Do you think they were plagued by sweating bouts. Sure they were. They had nothing but a spear between them and all kinds of huge animals that had fangs as long as your arm that only had one thing in mind; that was to have the caveman for dinner as the main course. I’m sure anxiety sweating was a topic of conversation around the campfire over a meal of filet of wooly mammoth as they sat around picking their teeth.
So what to do about it. What are some of the ways that we can get our lives into a workable state that will help to prevent this anxiety sweating from happening. How about a weekly schedule that can be broken down into a daily record of what you need to do and when. That would help get you on track so that you are prepared for life’s ups and downs and are not knocked sideways when the unexpected happens. Regular exercise helps too. When you are fit, you feel better and you are not so likely to go off the deep end when emergencies strike or just plain stresses occur, and you can control yourself better and not succumb to a tailspin of pounding heart and sweating. Or how about biofeedback. When stress occurs and anxiety sweating is just around the corner, stop; get your ducks in a row and mentally force yourself to listen to your breathing, breathe deeply, and take a few minutes to just calm down. It works.
Okay, now let’s think of other ways to keep stress and anxiety under control as much as possible. How about your job. Make sure you allot the needed amount of time everyday that surrounds your work and keep it organized while balancing your work hours with your time at home. Don’t be constantly rushing around at home trying to catch up because you spent too much time at work; your homelife is just as important as anything else and it can suffer bigtime if you let the work/home balance get off kilter. And your finances. Let’s get them into a stable condition so that you don’t have to cringe every time you walk past the desk where the bills are, or don’t have to figure out a way to rob a bank just to pay the electric bill. Balance is important, and your bouts of anxiety sweating will decrease markedly as the sources of the stress do too.
Now we move to an area that can cause the most stresses in most folks’ lives: interpersonal relationships. How is your love life? Are you married, divorced, widowed, alone; what’s the story. How much of your waking time is spent worrying over your better half, or how to get out of an unhappy marriage, or how to plan the wedding day, or just not being popular on the dating scene. The more you let these factors control your thinking and your subsequent reactions to them, the more you will be susceptible to bouts of despair and the resulting anguish and anxiety that goes along with them. It’s time to take the bull by the horns if you are suffering in some kind of situation like any of these and take some action. Step back and look at the situation closely and evaluate what your options are and what you can do about them. Don’t think too much about it, you can overevaluate too; just stop waffling and become decisive and act. Remember we are trying to save your health here, and trying to stop all those bouts of anxiety sweating that have become regulars in your life.
So what actually happens when the sweating bouts start. Why does stress trigger something like that and is there anything we can do to stop it. Well, think about it this way. Back to our little discussion about the cavemen; when humans were first developing and trying to find their way through history, they were equipped with only two ways to react to a stressful situation. They could either stand up and fight and their bodies chemically revved up for that; or they could run like hell for the nearest spot of safety, and likewise their bodies revved up for that too. So, since genetically we are not much farther along the scale than the cavemen, we suffer the same reactions when we are stressed. Our adrenal glands pump out adrenaline to rev us up whether we want to fight or run, and when we overload our bodies with all those chemicals, we sweat. So when stress comes along and we react like the cavemen did because we don’t have control of the situation, then anxiety sweating is the end result.
Okay, it’s one thing to talk about gaining control of all this stress that surrounds us, but how to do it. Well, one very good way that produces good results is to get more involved with the natural world around us, and let that part of our psyches react to the positive feelings that being out with Mother Nature can produce. Be aware of your surroundings as you make yourself available to the wonders that exist in the great outdoors, and let that positive reaction flow into your system and begin to reduce the stress level that exists within you. Just taking a simple walk will do the trick, but you must be involved with your surroundings and not just stroll along. You must listen, watch, smell and take in all the wonderful parts of the natural scene, and put aside all the techno-babble that can confound your every day life such as cell phones, pagers, or other technical toys so you can truly concentrate. As you become more and more proficient at communing with nature, you will find that your stress levels will markedly decrease and so will your bouts of anxiety sweating.
The answer to all of this lies in the fact that if you want to have a more positive life in general, and enjoy the life you have, then you must have control of what it is that is going on for you on an every day basis. Examine what it is that is stressing you out, and with having a workable schedule , planned downtimes for battery recharging and regular physical exercise, you can face those stressors head on and reduce them markedly. The more you are in control of your mental and physical status, and the more stable your life at work and also at home is; the more you will find that your stress is diminishing and your anxiety level is dropping. There is no magic bullet here, just good planning and a desire to stay on the straight and narrow that will produce the stamina you need to face down the negativities in everyday life that trigger stress, and as a result, when you eliminate them you are also taking away from your life those embarrassing bouts of anxiety sweating that have plagued you for as long as you can remember.
