Anxiety Management: The Iron Man Way

"Hoping for a better life.

Waiting for something in return.

Losing the strength to hold on difficult situation."

People in nature are prone to anxiety. It is like a wild beast attacking every possible prey regardless of social status; artists, politicians, religious sectors, professionals. Even Ironman has anxiety disorder.

Look at these dialogues from the movie “IRONMAN”:

                Harley Keener: Just breathe. Really, just breathe. You're a mechanic, right?

                Tony Stark: Right.

                Harley Keener: You said so.

                Tony Stark: Yes, I did.

                Harley Keener: Why don't you just build something?

Remember this conversation? It is from movie Iron Man 3. This part is when Tony’s anxiety disorder attacked.

Let’s see how he manages to handle the situation:

First, Keener told Tony Stark to breathe. Breathing relaxes the muscles and gives more oxygen to the brain. That way, his body can relax and his mind can think clearer.

Second, Keener told Tony Spark that he is a mechanic. This reminded Tony Stark that he can build from nothing to something. Letting people know their good qualities and awesome talents can be an instrument to widen their perspectives. It is just a matter of looking on the bigger picture.

Let us cite a few more that can help to cope up anxiety.

1.) Fill Your Mind with Good Thoughts.

              

        Nothing beat a mind that has positive outlook. Negative thoughts lead to anxiety, forcing your brain to panic.

2.) Have a Break with Family and Friends.

                

          Hanging out with loved ones can create happy thoughts. Thoughts that are worth remembering every time you feel anxious.

3.) Talk to your Diary

     Overflowing fear and sadness can cause panic. Try to write your worries and fears down on a piece of paper. Crumpling the paper afterwards feels good too.

4.) Have a hobby

               

           Having a hobby is one way to ease your anxiety. It could be photography, blogging, or something you are passionate about.

5.) Shout it out LOUD!

                

          Shout! Yell! Let it out of you. Go to a place where you can exert all your force shouting out your worries. Doing this calms your mind and body.

6.) Share it With Someone

          Sharing to your trusted friends your fears which causes your anxiety is a good thing. This lessens the burden you carry.

What lesson can we learn from Harley Keener? Well, while Tony Spark is under the state of anxiety attack, Harley Keener remains calm.

Over acting and panic can lead to anxiety. We forget that instead of wasting time and energy on freaking out. We can just stop for a moment and sigh… Keep Calm!
