Hiya - yeah I will get them if I am stressed or anxious. and I do not drink alcohol so no connection there.

Presumably it is the body going into muscle spasm. not nice though hey ? If I feel it coming on, I tell myself 'all is well in my world and only good things come my way'..... as well as taking a few deep breaths !

Do you practice mindful awareness or do you meditate ? how do you calm your mind down ? / relax ?

I have found David Gi to be really helpful in calming my mind down ! I listen to his show on hayhouseradio.com, he has a lovely, soothing voice. as well as I use his breathing techniques.

Check him out - I would love to know if he hits the spot for you also ! x

Yes but when my hands shake they go up and down like a few inches...i find reading helpful as it makes me think of life through other peoples eyes, also drawing, although not so good when hands are shaking haha :P no i dont meditate though. Thats interesting ill look into it, thanks xx

Hi, yes for me it's worse when stressed or over cold. Have been known to accidentally pour boiling water over my hand - as I was shaking so much. So now I do without a cuppa until I know I can be safe.
