Hey everyone! This video is a quick talk about Depression, Anxiety, Hypothyroidism and Self Help Books. If you are looking for a wonderful self-help book please read, “David D. Burns, M.D. Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy”. I have read a lot of books and this one is the best. My psychologist suggested I read it to try to understand my moods better. Give it a try!
If you are suicidal, please get help! I know, I have been there! It does get better and you can get out of depression’s grip. I am not a doctor and do not claim to use this book as treatment of any kind. I am just offering a few words of advice and understanding.

When you have a sudden feeling of fear or terror, you most likely will have a panic attack that occurs suddenly without
warning.

Coping with panic attacks can be very difficult.

But you will be able to control the attacks by recognizing the symptoms and learning how to control them.

Profuse sweating, difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, a choking sensation, heart palpitation and trembling are some of the symptoms from panic attacks.

Controlled breathing is one of the most effective methods that can be used during a panic attack.

Slowly take a deep breath, hold your breath for at least 5 seconds, exhale slowly through your mouth.

You have to stay calm when you feel like going to have a panic attack or you even can calm yourself by telling yourself that everything is going to be alright.

By facing your fears, you can help to control your panic attack like when you are afraid of elevators.

Another effective method is muscle relaxation.

Find a quiet place to exercise this, tighten the muscles in your forehead and hold it for 4-5 seconds and slowly relax the muscles when you done you also can try your other muscle too.

If these techniques are not working for you, you have to consult your physician for treatment.

This is a teaser reel for the proposed TV Series based on the comedy character – Jan van de Stool:

I GET THE MUSIC IN YOU
with Jan van de Stool

If you like it – please write us a comment and send it on to your friends!

If you’d like to become a ‘Fan of Jan’ you can find her on Facebook.

“If a good self-help course is what youre after,
then look much further than Jan van de Stool”

SYNOPSIS:

“I GET THE MUSIC IN YOU with Jan van de Stool” follows the participants of a self-help course and their overbearing course leader, Jan van de Stool, as they journey through a course of musical therapy.

Jan van de Stool, Dutch/Australian Musical Therapist (self-taught), runs her courses at the Manudji Scout Hall, where she helps students sing their way to enlightenment. But Jan dreams of taking her gift to the world. When the Self-Help Management Corporation “Yes!Core” announce a search for a new TV guru, Jan thinks her dream might come true. She enlists her husband (and cousin) Pieter, an amateur craft enthusiast, to help her market The Sound of Musical Therapy – the biggest end-of-term musical therapy demonstration concert, ever.

Shes mortgaged the house, shes started a video blog, and Pieters booked the Domain.

But dreams dont come true easily: Pieter has just designed 50,000 posters that read The Sound of Mucasal Therapy; no matter how hard she tries, Jan just cant fire-dance; and this term she has the worst bunch of students shes ever had.

Theres an ex-con (Jim), a boozy diva (Kate), a harried mother (Carol), a sceptical teacher (Matt), a medieval re-enactor (Mark Swordmaster), and the anal Scout Hall master Brian Akela.

But Jan is unstoppable and the course limps forward.

Half the students drop out, everyone refuses to fire-dance and so far theyve only sold 2 tickets. Jans lost her bliss, but worse still, she could lose the house. And shes certainly losing whats left of her mind.

Featuring well-known musical theatre actor and comedienne Queenie van de Zandt (VERY SMALL BUSINESS, KATH AND KIM, LET LOOSE LIVE, THE FULL MONTY THE MUSICAL and Helpmann, Green Room and Sydney Theatre Award nominee) playing Jan van de Stool, and with original songs by the award-winning songwriter Peter J. Casey.

I GET THE MUSIC IN YOU with Jan van de Stool is like The Choir of Hard Knocks run by Ozzie Osbourne. It combines societys love of healing and redemption with the guilty pleasure of watching a psycho have a flaming meltdown.

It occurred to me that my coaching practice rarely involves time lines and goal setting. I have found that goal setting doesn’t seem to work for most people. Additionally, the further out a goal is supposed to take place, the more chaotic and unpredictable achievement becomes. After all, a goal is created in the present moment with the resources available at that time. Change is inevitable and often people find that what they thought they wanted no long is motivational enough to move them toward achieving a specific goal. Michael J.
