Here are three simple panic attack tips that you can use anywhere to help overcome the terror. Remember, it is one thing to read the tips – as you read them they may seem trivial but like most things in life you really won’t understand their power unless you put them to use. There is an old Zen saying, “to know and not to do is not yet to know.” This is a powerful truth.
1. Look around you at the things you know to be real. Give each of these things a number and name them. Notice the clock and what time it is. If you are in the kitchen, note the refrigerator, the stove, and the table. You know these things are real and what they are. You have control over them and know exactly what the current situation is.
2. Good advice to avoid anger is “count to ten.” Good advice for dealing with an attack is similar but a little more detailed: say the alphabet backwards, think of your family and their birthdays, these are all thoughts that you have control over so think on these things rather than something that might happen.
3. Look at the clock; decide to give your panic attack one minute and then move on. Watch the clock and count the attack down. Feel confident that you can shut off and beat the attack, then continue your activity.
Panic attacks are compared to near-death experiences by some, others are just frozen by fear. A person having an attack basically suspends reality and believes a lie that has gotten in their head and that is taking them on a journey into hell. Gaining control over the mind to keep it in the real world is the first step to get you back to a normal life. The three steps are all about that, all about grabbing pieces of reality and climbing up on them.
Runaway anxiety can be caused by the fear of a panic attack. That is why these three tips, these three distractions are so useful. They bring the mind out of fear into something that is real. Panic attacks are not rational, they are fear of things that may happen and not of anything that is true. It becomes a viscous cycle feeding back and magnifying itself. These steps will help you gain control of your emotions and let you see the difference between reality and the fear fantasy. This is a solid successful way to treat panic attacks.
Tip #3, time limiting panic attacks, may be a little challenging for you at first. But, as you practice it will get easier and you will gain control, and gain your life back again.
Discover the drug-free way to stop panic anxiety attacks (it is not always the logical process that we expect).
