Five Effective Anxiety-Management Techniques

windsor — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:02:55 +0000

Anxiety is a plague that affects millions of Americans. As today’s high-stress world makes things increasingly difficult, more people are looking for ways to self-soothe and release tension. Here are five techniques that you can do at home, prescribed by experts in the field.

Breathing is widely considered the most important thing you can do to manage the onset of anxiety symptoms. Anxiety generates real physical reactions in the body, but by performing controlled, even breathing you can mitigate many of those symptoms and prevent the attack from getting worse.

Mindful awareness is another common method used to deal with the early stages of an anxiety attack. Close your eyes and slow your breath, concentrating your focus on different parts of your body in turn. This will give you the understanding that you are in control of your attentions.

Try to avoid worrying. This is easier said than done, obviously, but most doctors agree that feelings of dread or concern for the future engender anxiety attacks. A simple cognitive therapy response is to note the worry and then reply to yourself silently “That’s just my brain worrying. I know I don’t have to worry.”

Avoid recursive or ruminant thoughts on negative experiences. Getting the brain caught in a thought loop can lead to serious anxiety, lost productivity and more. Being conscious of these loops and working to stop them with mental commands can give you increased control over your situation.

Most importantly, make sure your body is getting everything it needs to be healthy. Getting enough sleep and regular, nutritious meals will help your brain functionality as well.

Moose Crepe and Thai Fusion: Fold It In

windsor — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:02:55 +0000

What a moose has to do with crepes is anybody’s guess, but this oddly-named restaurant is one of Fremont’s best. Crepes are a staple of French cuisine, and these thin, rich pancakes are stuffed with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients. Some of the most popular sweet selections include the banana with caramel sauce and Nutella and the peachy mango. Savory crepes are great for meals, and some hits include the chicken curry crepe and the Sunrise – scrambled eggs with bacon, Jack cheese, tomatoes, and pesto. The presence of curry on the menu leads us to the rest of the offerings, which are based on Thai dishes. In addition to some Thai-influenced crepes, Moose also offers a fine take on some standards, including a perfectly spicy drunken noodles and some excellent fried rice. It’s a strange combination, but it works really well. Service is attentive and the kitchen is very speedy.
