15 Ways to Manage a Panic Attack at Work

Connecting With My Inner Child
I started writing and creating art at a young age. In 3rd grade, I wrote my first short story about a bull fight in which the bull wins. In 4th grade, I won a blue ribbon at the county fair for for my first chalk drawing. In 5th grade, I created a six-foot banner depicting a herd of wild horses. And from 6th through 12th grade, I entered multiple poetry competitions and had my poems published in anthologies. I also sewed some of my own clothes, canned fruits and vegetables, and cross-stitched until I went cross-eyed. Writing, art, and crafts played a significant role in my young life, and I believed they always would.

Call Me Alice
"Call me Alice. Let me fall down the rabbit hole into a world of adventure unknown. Call me the Queen. Let me rise above the masses and with the power of my voice make all those who dare to cause me harm, quiver and shake. Call me the Hatter. Let me mad with joy and riddle those around me for I am without fear even though I should be...."

Meditative Medium
For me creating in any form has always been a contemplative exercise. As an Expert Registered Yoga + Children's Yoga Teacher/Trainer and Craniosacral Healer, I also share this with clients or it will often come up for them during healing sessions. When we give our right (creative) side of our brain the space to do as it wishes, we allow intuition to flow and naturally come into a parasympathetic and meditative state. It's a beautiful way to help us process deeper thoughts and emotions, particularly if 'meditation' in the formal sense many see it as, is not your thing. Personally, I believe meditation can be found in our day to day, and in fact this can help us to be more present - which is what meditation is all about. We don't need to sit like Buddha for this to happen... it's actually quite challenging for most.

Fighting Depression
It has taken a long time to get here. To get to the point where I can say, I have depression. I said a few years ago that I have ‘down days’ but that I didn’t class myself as someone with depression as I didn’t see myself as survive as I know others are.

“The Unseen World”
We are born into this world with five senses. These help us to navigate through it and to be able to move and function. The human body is a miraculous mechanism. If one of the senses is lost or minimized, the others are usually enhanced, making up for the loss. Internally we have the intuition, an inner sense of knowing. It can be more or less understood by the individual and one can learn to use it more and more. This is also called an “hunch” and can be in tune with reality. In some cases it is based on experience. Then it can be misleading if the person has had traumatic experiences or was indoctrinated in a set of beliefs.

That Shaky kind of Frustration
It happens suddenly. sometimes gradually but unnoticed. You think you're having a simple conversation. You are sure it's heading in a tame and safe direction. But at some point, someone has said something wrong. "Was it me? was it them? did they interpret what I meant incorrectly?" you think. And then you notice how you feel inside. It's shaky. Unstable. You try to stand your ground and say how you feel in the kindest way you know how. But even this offends them too.
