Causes Of Panic Attacks

The only way to stop panic attacks is to understand the cause of them. Why do we panic? We panic because we are overwhelmed and distressed. We are overwhelmed and distressed because we are letting our thoughts run away with us.

Did you know that most panic attacks are created hours before they actually occur?

Whether we are thinking of things to worry about or planning every inch of our future we are still manifesting a major mind overload. We are not meant to control every aspect of our lives. The mind cannot take all the thoughts that go with this over analyzing and manipulating. Eventually it panics and our body reacts the same way.

The solution to panic is very simple. It does not require thousands of dollars in therapy or medication and it is easy to implement into your life. All you have to do is stop fearing the next attack. Stop resisting your resistance. In other words, just stop fighting your anxiety/fear.

When you stop fearing you will stop panicking and you will begin to relax. Often our thoughts cause us to fear unnecessarily and so we have to be conscious of what is going through our mind. You can stop your thoughts whenever you want, and it will become easier the more you do it. Relaxing takes practice like anything else.

The cause of panic attacks is resistance. The more we resist or fight something, the stronger it becomes. So the key is to stop fighting the panic and to accept that the only way to stop it is to relax.

Don't Panic! (especially about your panic). Stop thinking that anxiety is hard to get over, it is not. End the Anxiety Loop in One Move and never worry about it again. http://www.squidoo.com/onemovecure

 

Benefit From Stress Today!

It's been a funny old day ... I started off feeling in control, I had a couple of fantastic networking meetings, and things were panning out as I'd hoped. Brilliant!

Then I got a call that rattled my cage a bit. I got off the phone feeling stressed, and despite telling myself that everything was OK I still felt anxious and had that nagging feeling in the back of my mind. You know the one, the voice that won't let you relax.

If I reminisce back to my pre-coaching days I would have turned into a Well of Worry - over-analysing everything, doubting myself, and wondering what I could do to make the nagging go away. Thankfully things are far easier these days!

Equipped with my 'coaching toolkit' (my mind!) I sat down and asked myself:-

  • What is the anxiety and stress telling me?


It's purpose wasn't to make me feel bad, but to provide a valuable warning signal.

For me it was a wake up call to remind me that I hadn't done all the preparation I needed to for a particular event. The phone conversation had hit a nerve because unconsiously I knew there was more work to be done, and the stress was my 'alarm bell' saying "Faye - get on with it!".

So what did I do? I worked hard, I did all the necessary preparation I knew I had to do, and I got a plan of action in place. And what did I get? A relaxed mind again. I got to turn off my mental-alarm and go back to the sanctury of a peaceful head-space!

So next time you get stressed, sit down for a minute, and get some clarity. What is the stress telling you? Find out what the problem is, then work out how to solve it. At a time when logic often bypasses us, focus on a simple process for a happy head!
