No, we are not over yet. After discussing the topic with my friend’s Dad (he is a doctor), I’ve made a list of things you need to understand and avoid anxiety attacks (hard to breathe moments). <ol><li>Think of your anxiety as a biological problem, rather than thinking there is something wrong with your head. Anxiety is just a physical state that has its mental side effects. Treat the physical effects, to feel less stressed. </li><li>It won’t leave you alone, anxiety is repetitive. If you ever get an anxiety attack, chances are you’ll get them again. However, anxiety symptoms are also the same. You can to straight your back and cultivate a habit that will help you become more resilient to stress biologically. </li><li>Stop taking stimulants, cigarettes, caffeine, and alcohol, they might give you your worst nightmare. Weed might calm you down (it works for me) but if you see the anxiety symptoms don’t push it. And also, it’s illegal, so I’m not promoting it. </li><li>Keep a good diet, eating at least three times a day is the least can do for the better of yourself. Complex carbs, healthy fats, and protein. Eliminate sugar or at least don’t add another cube in your drink. </li><li>Don’t have to go to the gym if your work schedule doesn’t allow you. Though you have to start exercising, start with bodyweight exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, squats and maybe some pull-ups. You won’t have enough energy to stress out after having a good hard work-out, believe me, it’s tried and tested. </li><li>Nothing is happening on your mobile screen, put it down and have a good night sleep. It is important for your body and brain, to repair all the damage you have taken to get done with the day. Disturbed or insufficient sleep regularly will definitely give you anxiety. Aim for a good-long 8 hours sleep and don’t worry if most of the night you able to get only 6-or-7 hours sleep. </li><li>Have to start meditating because controlled breathing is the best way to avoid anxiety. There are a lot of resources available on the internet that can teach you meditation, you can also use Headspace one of my favorite app for meditating. Especially, if you have never tried meditation before, use Headspace mobile app and just fall in love with the magic of mindfulness. </li></ol>Life could have been easy if people love to share what they have. But the fact that we all are selfish in one way or another has pulled down humanity down in the dumps where almost no one is happy. Why are we like this, why can’t we share the knowledge that we have, power that we possess, the money that we have earned to help someone less unfortunate? Is it because bad things always feel good. But let’s not stray from our main topic and recall what we have learned so far. <ol><li>Anxiety is a physical, biological problem. Treat it as such and don’t worry about the psychological effects. </li><li>Re-read point one. And then do that again. </li><li>You are not taking any stimulants from now on. </li><li>Pay attention to what you eat. </li><li>Exercise. Daily, until you’re tired. </li><li>Make good-sleep your utmost priority. </li><li>Learn the breathing techniques, meditation is one way to go. </li><li>And this one is not added in the main points but see the doc if you still haven’t found </li></ol>

According to science during the practice of meditation, brain scans have shown increased activity in the regions that are directly connected with the decrease of anxiety and depression. When someone practices meditation their mind goes into a Default Mode Network or in short DMN, it is a state of mind in which the mind is at rest and not worried about the outside world. This state of mind is well known for improving memory and self-awareness. Not just this but mediation also helps one to achieve more calm. During a study, scientists studied the brains of a Buddhist monk and a young mediator. They found that the area of grey matter inside the monk’s brain was way bigger than that of the young meditator. This grey matter consists of regions that control learning, memory, and emotions in our body. To their surprise, scientists also found that the size of regions in the brain that gives rise to the increased stress and blood pressure in a human body is smaller than that of an average human brain. During the scan, scientists found that the amount of alpha waves spread by the brain is much higher in the monk. These alpha waves have been shown to reduce the feeling of negative mood, tension, and anger. You can say meditation changes the structure of your brain and help you to become happy both physically and mentally.

Reasons Why You Should Practice Meditation

Who doesn’t want to see the best version of themselves? Practice meditation and you’ll get to see it. Psychologists have noticed that their clients who practice meditation are more aware of their actions and emotions.&nbsp;There are forms in meditation that can help a person to better understand their inner-self. The self-inquiry practice of meditation explicitly helps a person to better understand their thoughts. Combined with the practice of meditation that helps recognize whether the thought is naive, or harmful or self-defecating, with enough practice one can learn to steer their thoughts towards a more constructive point. Even a self-sabotaging bastard can learn to take better control of his life.&nbsp;

1. It imroves self-awareness 

Sitting still and doing nothing might sound easy, but it requires a lot of focus and discipline. The most basics of meditation are to sit and do nothing, just let all the thoughts come by and pass. While you sit there, with your eyes closed focusing on breath and thoughts come and go like a cloud.&nbsp;Even science proves that people who practice meditation can hold their focus on a particular task for a long. Simply by practicing meditation for 10 minutes every day, one can see the improved results within 8 weeks.&nbsp;

2. Helps improve focus 

Our life’s responsibility and stress that comes with it never gonna leave our side. Both mental and physical fatigue (stress) causes a chemical imbalance in our bodies. Excessive releasing of inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, can cause disrupted sleep, increase blood pressure. You must already know, stress promotes depression and anxiety and causes cloudy thinking, where all you feel is lost.&nbsp;But my friends, practice mindful meditation, and your stress will be taken care of. In an 8 weeks&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0889159112004758" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">study </a>, where researchers concluded the practice of mindfulness meditation helps to reduce stress, by reducing inflammatory responses caused by stress.&nbsp;

3. Takes care of your stress

Meditation helps reduce stress, which in turn translates to reduced anxiety. But not just this, the practice of meditation has shown an effect in combating more than just one symptom of anxiety. For a long time, meditation has been prescribed to patients, to cure their anxiety disorders and panic attacks.&nbsp;In one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29723001/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">studies </a>, they have found that mediation can help one to deal with their job-related anxiety. If one practices meditation daily, he can get better control of his anxiety and in turn, better control in life, as the practice of meditation helps your brain stay and focus on the present.&nbsp;

4. Helps you fight back anxiety 

Being able to control and feel your emotion better is what meditation helps you achieve. In a research study, studies have found that the daily practice of meditation helps to activate the happy and positive regions in your brain.&nbsp;People who practice meditation daily are found to be more kind and have shown more empathy towards all kinds of living beings. They can make strong bonds with others as they care about the emotions.&nbsp;

5. Makes you more kind

That's why to speed-up the process and make things a little simple for you. Here are the 69 travel tips that you should learn to have a better travel experience. Knowing how to pack and what to pack is important but I'm not going into details here. And what's more important is to pack your own towel on every single for easy travels. You never know when you find the need for it, whether during a trek into the mountains or on a beach. And honestly packing a small towel won't hurt your back. Hostels and hotels do provide their own towels (clean according to them). Still packing your own towel is one of the best travel tips.

Always pack a towel 

This one is also to teach you how to pack. As there are several benefits of packing light. Buying a small backpack (with the capacity of 35/40 liters) would force you to pack everything that you will actually need on your trip. And honestly, 40 litters is enough to pack for a two weeks trip and you'll still have some space. But make sure not to use that space by packing things that you are not even going to use on your trip.

Buy a small backpack/suitcase



No-one will think you are poor if you wear the same t-shirt for a few days in a row, especially when you are traveling. After all, it helps you remove the excess weight from your backpack. The best way to pack light is by packing the half clothes you think you are going to need. Buy a small backpack as mentioned in the above point and it will help you pack light.

Pack light (FYI – not talking about flashlight)

You can take out the pair of jeans and t-shirts, maybe even a jacket from your backpack. But always pack extra pairs of socks this is one of the important travel tips. As there is nothing more comfortable than a pair of fresh sock when traveling. Try it and thank me later. Not just they look stupid but you are also making things easy for mugs and thugs. It's like you are screaming, I'm new here, check my fanny pack, its full of money. You can steal it or rip me off by charging double fare for the ride. Honestly, just don't buy a money belt.

Don’t forget to take extra socks
And 
Don’t buy a money belt or fanny pack or whatever



Disasters happen. On my last trip to Tosh, I faced one of such disasters. Heavy rainfall created the flood situation and the Manali-Delhi highway was swept off. I had to extend my trip and pay extra for the stay and ride back to Delhi. Not just this but getting robbed and losing cards is one of such disasters that requires you to carry an extra debit or credit card. Carrying an extra card will help you to stay connected to your funds even in case of a disaster.

Living the life of a traveler is certainly enticing, you get the freedom to live your life the way you want to. However, it is not all that good, especially for the newbies. That's why you need to learn some travel tips.
