Self-reliance is the only way to truly succeed in life, the old saying comes to mind, “if you want something doing right, then do it yourself” and this is true. While a little help may be needed in some circumstances and certainly should not be passed up, help from others should not become a crutch on which you continually lean. Those who suffer from a lack of self-reliance fall into the trap of procrastination and are filled with self-doubt and avoid situations which cause them distress, fear and anxiety when they have to make a decision.

In order to decide whether medication is right for you if you suffer from repeated and frequent panic attacks, you will have to discuss with your physician several factors connected with your affliction. Usually, patients and doctors have to consider two main options applicable for any successful treatment.

Prescription medications
The first option is medication, of course. A majority of patients suffering from panic disorder are found to be victims of either agoraphobia (literally, fear of open spaces, but actually, a severe anxiety condition in which a person avoids not only open spaces but also situations involving activities like driving, shopping, traveling, being alone or among crowds etc.) or some social phobia (by which is meant fear of failure in some important social interaction or anxiety related to social performance). Others have an anxiety disorder or depression or both, which accompany panic disorder. Depending upon the severity of panic attacks and the symptoms associated with them, the doctor will advise the course of treatment and the type of medication.

Have you ever wanted to get away from it all and let your kids know what life outside of the concrete jungle was like? Family hiking excursions are experiences that have a multitude of benefits and can be tailored to suit your needs.

A good hike is a memorable experience for kids who have grown up in the city. It allows them to be truly immersed in nature through the best possible medium, that is, their own eyes, ears, hands and feet. Even better, hiking is the easiest and least expensive outdoor recreation activity, so you don’t have to sink big bucks into it in order to make it fun.

There are a number of health benefits from hiking, which anyone of any age can appreciate. The first and most obvious benefit is from the exercise. Hiking can help you shed pounds and develop muscle tone, especially in your legs, as you traverse the countryside. Depending on the terrain where you will be hiking, you can burn calories heading down ravines or up cliff sides.

Disappointment is a plain fact of life, sometime or another as we go through life we all have to deal with it, in many different aspects of life. However how we deal with it is the most important thing. We should never try to avoid it but face up to it.

When you are faced with disappointment in life, the most important thing to remember is to accept it and get on. Don’t be fooled into giving in to the “what ifs” and “if only”. Feelings and thoughts like this will get you nowhere and will never change the situation however much you wish you could.

How we deal with things when life doesn’t go our way or to plan also says a lot about us and in fact can have an affect on our future. Someone who is able to shrug off disappointment easily and get on with life is more adaptable and so better able to cope with whatever crops up in future.

Anger is a completely normal, healthy human emotion, and a certain amount of it is necessary to our survival. It inspires powerful and often aggressive feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and defend ourselves when we are attacked.
When anger gets out of control and turns destructive it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships, and affect the overall quality of life. Anger can be caused by both external and internal events, and like other emotions, anger causes heart rate and blood pressure to increase, in addition to the levels of the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. Over time, people can suffer physically and have chronic health issues arise because of their inability to keep triggers at bay. People with anger management issues get angry more easily and more intensely than the average person, and the notion that “letting it all out” helps is false, because it actually escalates anger and aggression, which doesn’t resolve anything.
