The Case Of You Versus Your Anxiety Sweating And What You Can Do About It

by AlanBaker

What would our lives be without stress? We wouldn't recognize them. And with stress comes being anxious and churned up inside, and then the inevitable for a lot of us; anxiety sweating. What a pain. Your life in general suffers, your clothes suffer, your relationships suffer all because you are one of the unfortunate ones who remain in silence and embarrassment with your sweating problem hoping against hope that some day you will find a way to stop all of this. Just remember this, that you are not alone in your misery; not by a long shot. Anxiety can be traced all the way back to the days of the cavemen when they were prominent on the earth and were out hunting for food. Don't you think they experienced anxiety sweating when they were trying to just drag home a few square meals in the form of a wooly mammoth and suddenly found that their little pointed sticks were no match for the beast and all at once they were running for their lives. Sure they were anxious and believe me, they were sweating. Well, we go through the same thing in our lives: road rage, depressing jobs, dysfunctional families; maybe not as dramatic, but stressful enough to cause anxiety and as a result, profuse sweating.

So now the question arises, what can you do about these stresses in your life and get this sweating problem under control. One of the first methods that comes to mind is biofeedback. You can control your breathing and your heart rate after you learn the ways to do so, and as a result you can calm yourself when stress begins to overtake you and stop the sweating before it gets out of hand. And then there are ways to get a handle on your everyday life; such as following a schedule that can be broken down into daily happenings and can be used to keep your comings and goings in order. Nothing causes stress more quickly than to have your life spinning out of control and you are watching it happen without being able to do anything about it. But don't forget, also, that routine exercise can play a big part in reducing your stress and consequently your anxiety sweating, because when you feel good physically, and you are fit; then your mental outlook is much more positive also.

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.

One big factor that can cause unbelievable stress in many people's lives is their relationships with other people and how they handle them. Your marriage may leave a lot to be desired, or maybe you have been recently widowed, or your co-workers on the job are not the type of people you want to deal with on a daily basis. Any of these scenarios can cause stress in your life and you are then at the mercy of your emotions which in turn will lead to an active bout of anxiety sweating. Just step back and take a good look at how your interpersonal relationships fit into your life, and for anything that causes a negative reaction, get to work on it. Take some decisive action and make sure you evaluate just what part of your life your relationships with people plays, and work on that angle so that you can change whatever factors need to be modified and made positive so they no longer pose a threat as a stress producer.

So when we think of anxiety sweating, what comes to mind as to what is going on in your body to produce all that stress and then all the profuse sweating. We have not progressed very far along the genetic trail since our ancestors were cavemen, and our bodies react the very same way for us today as theirs did way back in the dawn of time. There are only two reactions that are programmed into our makeups, and those are determiners as to whether we stand and fight the thing that is stressing us out, or should we head for the hills and make a run for it. Our bodies feel the stress and immediately send a message to the adrenal glands in our bodies that begin to pump out adrenaline so we are armed with the chemical ammunition we need to take care of whatever it is that is bothering us. But, if we don't have control of the external causes of the stress, we react over and over again producing much anxiety and the sweating that goes along with it.

So what to do about all this. One of the best ways for relieving stress and gaining control over our daily lives is to slow down and start to interact with the natural world around you. Take a walk and really take a walk, don't just amble along. Look and listen and smell, and you will be amazed at how much your system will calm down just by enjoying the pleasures that are all around us in nature. We are inherently connected to nature in everything we do, and when we let it flow into our senses, we revitalize that natural connection and it gives us the stamina to take on the stressors of the day. Our lives are filled with all kinds of techno gadgets and we need sometimes to just remove ourselves from that frenzied beeping world and slow down. "Stop and smell the roses" says a lot.

So to wind this up, there is lots of negativity out there in this world of ours, and you need all the ammunition you can get to keep yourself on an even keel. You must go for the positives in all you do, and make sure that your life is in control with scheduling, regular maintenance, and planned down times so you can recharge your batteries. When you are in control and you feel better mentally and physically and your world both at home and at work is stable, then you can zero your biofeedback inwardly toward yourself and make the positive changes needed to get you on track and well on your way to stopping those bouts of anxiety sweating.
