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 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.
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.
