You'd feel that if dealing with a health crisis that great news about your wellbeing would relieve tension and anxiety.Personally, I was really amazed that after the initial elation of very good news, a"down" feeling place in. It was almost just like the fantastic news was a lot. It looked like an odd reply and in considering it I had been motivated to compose this report. Who'd have believed that fantastic news could create anything but good emotions?
Let us investigate the dynamics of terrible news and great news. (I dealt with what to do if you receive bad information in a previous article.)
Anticipation is your enemy since it creates stress and anxiety. When diagnosed with a severe or life threatening illness the attention is on therapy. The expectation is that the treatment will succeed or there is hope it will be. However, this is merely the start of the journey. The expectation and waiting for this first evaluation is hard and psychological. This shared experience may feel like encourage or maybe it will feel just like you're liable for their feelings also or something in between. Anticipation builds nervous vitality indoors combined with negative projections along with a feeling of responsibility for how others are going to feel.
You obtain excellent news! The therapy is working. A wave of relief could be felt by everybody. There's happiness, party, and expectations of becoming nicely. The simple truth is that the waiting game only begins again for another test and mark of your wellbeing. The following test and outcomes follow. Maybe it's excellent news or maybe you're going to receive bad information. The expectancy climbs again. You and your nearest and dearest find yourselves anxious, on edge, and perhaps a bit burnt out using the procedure that you know will last unless your health crisis ends. The cycle begins again and anticipation gets worse particularly in the event that you've been yo-yoing between positive and negative news.
I know that the"down" feelings following great news. The fire of anticipation is lit for yourself and those near you. The anticipation contributes to anticipation, which contributes to anxiety, anxiety and other emotions.
If you do not get overly excited then it will not hurt so much when the information is neutral or negative (more waiting). Feeling down or impartial after great news safeguards you from disappointment, protects you by angry, and safeguards you from potential projections about your wellbeing outcome.
Is it OK to manage information about your wellbeing status this way? Obviously it is! There's no wrong or right with feelings. Every individual handles them within their own distinct way. Someone explained that remaining impartial with all the positive and negative news is healthful. No large ups and downs enables the body to remain calm and in curing manner. The cycle and procedure of tackling a health emergency is precisely exactly what it is: a bicycle, a procedure, lifestyle... your lifetime.
Remaining present will even help handle expectancy. That means paying attention to what's happening now rather than considering what's occurred previously and producing projections about what might happen or should happen later on. These projections do not help unless you're using positive vision to work with your subconscious thoughts through hypnosis, as an instance, that is quite powerful to calm your mind, emotions and body and keep you current in the present moment.
Exercise: Should you end up in anticipatory stress, either from previous experiences or projections regarding the future, you can certainly do something about it!
Take three or four slow breaths. If your head is still running or you're feeling negative emotions, just see them. Your arms may feel somewhat heavy, your spine will give up anxiety, and your neck will discharge together with your palms and toes. Just continue discovering your own body, your ideas, and your own feelings. There's not anything to do whatsoever but notice. Simply breathe and listen to your left or right foot. Notice your feet, cure, arch, as well as ankle. Draw your focus up your elbows and shin, behind your kneeand facing your knee into a buttocks and thigh. Notice your fashionable. Maintain breathing slowly. Draw up your attention your hip into your thigh, in the small of your spine up your spine, and towards the side of the spine. Notice your stomach and belly.
Switch back into your shoulder and be mindful of your neck and neck. Then move your consciousness to the side of your face, such as your mouth, eye, chin, forehead and ear along with your brow. Focus on the rear of your mind, moving to the surface of your scalp. Then shift your focus to another side of the body and allow your focus travel down out of your scalp and head to your feet.
That's it. If you prefer, you can move your consciousness all around your body two or three times that will deepen your expertise. This procedure encourages relaxation, balanced feelings, and being current, the distance in which you can best take care of the experience of handling a health catastrophe.
