Overcoming Anxiety in the Kitchen?.. Stop Panic Attacks

Overcoming anxiety in the kitchen can become a hard battle fought with you losing the war. As the old saying goes, “if you can’t take the heat than get out of the kitchen!” Just think about the tv reality show Hell’s Kitchen, and look at all the pressure that comes with running a kitchen. You would have to be a very strong minded person in order to overcome panic attacks in the kitchen. For that matter I’m going to go over some basic principles and simple strategies in which you can apply right now to your plan of overcoming anxiety successfully in the kitchen.

When I was a teenager I worked in a 5 star restaurant for four years as a grillman, and let me tell you straight from the horse’s mouth that this was one of the most stressful periods of my life. Until I started to realize exactly what it was that I doing wrong to cause such anxiety, because outside of work I was a super cool and calm type of guy. If there’s anything that I do hate – it has to be being stressed out. So with this regard I had to come up with a master plan in order to defeat this enemy that had such a hold on me, and was stopping me from overcoming anxiety in the kitchen.

First I had to find the root of this issue, which I sadly realized was me. And I strongly suggest that you to do the same thing, because we are all our biggest enemy. You must be totally truthful and honest with yourself if you ever plan on overcoming anxiety successfully, because we all know the signs when we see or feel them. It’s just that some of us tend to ignore them while others deal with them immediately, so that they don’t have to deal with this same issue later on down the road. And with that being said, you ought to get in the habit of taking full responsibility of certain issues in your life, because only YOU know what you feel, so nobody else can’t help you solve your problem unless you know exactly where the problem is coming from.

As soon as I discovered where the problem was coming from I attacked it head on! Because one of the problems was that I had no type of organization or plan for my work shift. But once I knew my exact problem I was able to quickly defeat it by coming up with a full proof strategy to make my work shift go a lot smoother than before. Thus allowing me to lessen panic attacks on my road to overcoming anxiety successfully.

One of the other big problems that I realized was not having enough self confidence to get through the rush hour of people that all decided to grab a bite to eat at the same time – “Don’t You Just Hate When That Happens?” What I found out was that I was to much in a hurry to do nothing. You know those type of people that you see at work who always appear to be busy, but aren’t really doing anything except running around like a chicken with its’ head cut off. Well I’m ashamed to say that use to be me before I built up my self confidence to the point where I feel I can defeat a silverback gorilla with my bare hands.

Before I finish things off I want to leave you with a bit of helpful advice. If you ever want to get on that successful road to overcoming anxiety, no matter if it’s in the kitchen, at home, at work, etc – You Must First Look Deep Inside Of You! Because we are the only ones that can stop us from achieving anything we want out of life. So please don’t cheat yourself out of a better life, and start taking action today on overcoming anxiety.
