Learning how to relieve anxiety attacks is not a difficult thing but it appears to be so when you are experiencing them yourself. I used to be there and I feel for you. I felt like I was stuck and choking and could never get out of that experience except one day the pain was bad enough that I took some action and never looked back. Can you relate to that?
So here are some of my tops ways to learn how to relieve anxiety attacks.
- Bring Awareness In - Become aware that you are experiencing an anxiety attack. Just look at it within yourself and how it affects your body. What thoughts go through your head, what is your body doing or trying to urge you to do? By becoming aware and not judging with thoughts you distance yourself from the affects of it. Eventually you will become totally detached from the things that happen. They may still happen but you will not be affected by them at all.
- Its About Focus - When you are experiencing an anxiety attack, all you can focus on is fear. Switch your focus to something else and it will go away. How can you be affected by something that you are not even aware of? It is impossible. I know lots of people find deep breathing from the diaphragm (bottom of stomach area) useful as it helps them concentrate and collect their thoughts.
- Put Yourself In Situations - This is contrary to what lots of gurus in the field will say but I am giving my point of view here and it worked for me so why not for you? What I did is purposefully put myself into the situations where I felt uncomfortable in the past. Over time they did not affect me any more and I built on those successes and truly learned how to relieve anxiety attacks.
How differently would people look at you if you got over your anxiety attacks completely? Imagine feeling the eyes in the back of your head as they would see you walking down the street and think to themselves "What has changed about them? They seem so peaceful, I could do with what they have."
Having total peace of mind is a gift that anyone owes to themselves don't you agree?
