Prevent Panic Attacks

By now you're no stranger to Panic Attacks. You know their symptoms. You know they can't kill you despite the fear you have during the attack.

And...

You know the techniques that calm you down when they strike.

That's all well and good. Don't get me wrong. But it's just not enough.

See, I don't want you to spend the rest of your life as some kind of Panic Attack "Kung Fu Master", fighting off the attacks with every bout, waiting patiently for the next one to come around the corner.

I don't care how prepared someone is for a Panic Attack. I guarantee they would rather avoid them altogether than go through a lot of self meditation to slow their heart palpitations.

Knowing the Panic Attack self-defense that I've taught you from my articles is important. But it's not my goal for you to be the most well adjusted Panic Attack sufferer. My goal for you, is to end the Panic Attacks altogether. I never want you to have another Panic Attack again in your life. That's it. Sure it will take some baby steps to get there, but know that ultimately, I'm looking to completely rid you of your Panic Attacks for life. This site has done it for hundreds of other people and you're no exception. Follow my lead and you'll be cured of Panic Attacks just like they are now.

Controlling Your Thoughts
Thoughts are things. You'll hear me say that over and over again. What I mean by that is...

When you have negative thoughts, negative things will come into your life. Conversely when you have positive thoughts, positive things will come into your life. That's because thoughts steer the direction of your life.

Everything in your life up to this point is a result of the thoughts in your head. This includes the shirt on your back, the car that your drive, the food in your fridge, the house that you live in, the dog you now own...

...Everything.

Whatever it is, you thought your way into having that thing.

Now, this theory is an introduction to the fundamental thinking behind "The Law of Attraction". You may have heard of the book "The Secret". That too is based on the Law of Attraction.

Today's lesson on preventing Panic Attacks relates to this law. Allow me to explain...

A Panic Attack in itself (aside from the physical symptoms) is a negative thought loop that spirals downward out of control.

Panic Attack circumstances can be different for everyone. Speaking personally, mine would often happen when I was at work on a stressful phone call.

I would think...

"I hate being on the phone like this. This is so stressful. Ughhhh, when is this ever going to end?"

As my negative thoughts escalated, so did my heart rate and breathing. Shortly after, the Panic Attack would then ensue.

Your thoughts are just as responsible for your own attacks. Put quite simply, your mind is just not in a happy place when your anxiety spirals into the attack. So to prevent the Panic Attack, you're going to learn to control your thinking and in turn prevent falling down that negative thought spiral.

Consecutive Thought Direction
There is no task in the world more exhausting than controlling the course of consecutive thought. Our brainwaves travel at 120 meters per second, creating continuous and instant impulses of thought.

Have you ever tried to clear your mind? Not so easy, huh?

Even if you tried to clear your mind and think of nothing, you're still going to literally be thinking something.

Everyone has this continuous voice of thought in their head. Those who control its direction are masters of their own destiny.

So where do we begin?

Simply monitor your thoughts and determine their direction. I made a couple of brief lists below for your reference.

Positive Thoughts
Love
Happiness
Prosperity
Peace
Generosity
Modesty
Faith
Negative Thoughts
Hate
Depression
Failure
Envy
Greed
Pride
Doubt


As you monitor your thoughts, start to determine which side of the table they are coming from. When you do have a negative thought, immediately couterbalance this thought with a positive one.

An easy way to do this is by making a list of all the things you are grateful for in life -- all the little things that give you pleasure. Essentially, you make a list of positive things.

As negative thoughts flow into your head, immediately replace them with one of these positive things and meditate for a second on it.

Why go through all this?

This exhausting exercise (and it will be exhausting at first) is going to train your brain to change its thought patterns. Once you get into the habit of tossing out negative thoughts like it's a sin, you will slowly begin to think more positively in general.

This TOTALLY works and has been proven over and over.

Another important part of this is taking a moment everyday to reinforce your positive thoughts. I usually spend 5 minutes in the shower giving thanks for everything I am grateful for.

It could be something as simple as being grateful for having friends who love me or a fond memory of a camping trip that I went on. It doesn't matter what it is, so long as it comes from the bottom list

Whatever is positive in your life, take a few minutes everyday to reinforce that good and say thank you to the universe for bringing it to you.

Don't be lazy about this. Monitoring every consecutive thought in your head will be hard. You're not going to catch everything, but stay on it. The more corrections you make to your thinking, the easier it becomes. It gets easier over time because you'll start to have less negative thoughts in your head.

That makes a HUGE difference when it comes to your anxiety and Panic Attacks. Prevent your Panic Attacks with this exercise and start living your life to the fullest ever day.

How to Manage Stress in Your Work Life

Stress is a result of a series of complex reactions that occur in response to certain events and situations in your life. There are many ways of defining Stress. Some researchers categorize it either as Eustress or Distress depending on whether something changes for the better or worse respectively. It is also defined as being in a situation which is very difficult to cope with.

If you are going through a lot of stress in your career which makes it tough going, you've come to the right page. This piece will help you cope with stress.

Since there are multiple causes of stress, understandably, there are many ways to deal with it. Being aware of it isn't enough; you should also know how to manage stress. This requires a change in the way you react to it and so on. Let's see how to go about that.

Beware of stressors: Determine the causes of stress and don't ignore them. Observe the events that bring stress to your work life. Try to figure out the meaning of such events. Also, analyze your reaction towards such circumstances; do you get panicky or physically upset?

Take heed of your reactions: If you really want to know how to manage stress, you'll have to take cognizance of those reactions we talked about earlier. Stress is generated by your perception of danger, either physical or emotional. Take an objective look at the cause as well as your response to it. Recognizing the situation for what it's worth will reduce the intensity of your reactions.

Be reasonable:
• Don't take a difficult situation and make a disaster out of it.
• Bear in mind that it's impossible to please everyone; hence don't make an effort to do so.
• Never exaggerate and view things as extremely critical. Remember, it is not necessary for you to succeed in every situation.
• Keep the analytical quotient high and the emotional quotient low at work. Keep sentiment at bay.
• Think of stress as something you can handle rather than something that overpowers you.
• Maintain a positive outlook and steer clear of "What Ifs".

Maintain both reserves: We are talking about physical as well as emotional reserves. Intersperse some free time with your work. Don't make your work monotonous, and take reasonable breaks wherever possible. Learn to like your work, failing which, find work in a field that is to your liking. Also, developing a friendly attitude towards co-workers will generate a self of well-being.

While undesirable stress has a weakening effect on your body and emotions, "good" stress can be harnessed to improve efficiency. Stress can influence you positively by inducing you to exploit your strengths and achieve goals. Stress can also exhort you to enhance your knowledge and perception at work. But as a negative influence, it will result in feelings of doubt, refusal, anger and depression. These will ultimately have an impact on you and your work.

While you should know how to manage stress, remember, there is no way you can totally eliminate it. Too much of it will butcher you. At the same time, a complete absence of stress can be totally de-motivating. Hence, you need to find the optimal level of stress which can spur you on, not drag you down. Modules like "The Stress Management Masterclass" can teach you how to manage stress at work. You could also download the Stress Management Training program.
