 Anxiety
attacks (also called panic attacks), are terrifying.
If you've ever experienced a full-on anxiety attack you will
know exactly what I'm talking about.
The
symptoms can vary: sometimes it's a racing pulse that feels
like your heart will burst right out of your chest. Other
times is could be hyperventilation and shortness of breath,
or an "unreal" feeling, like you are somehow detached
from reality.
But
whatever your physical symptoms may be, there is always and
undercurrent of emotional instability that goes along with
them; fear and an unexplained feeling of impending doom are
two of the most common emotional responses.
Anxiety
and panic attacks build up over time as a result of our habitual
way of thinking and acting. Our diet, sleeping patterns and
other habits can contribute to the attacks, but it is our
day-to-day habitual way of thinking that
causes the most trouble.
"Stinking
Thinking" as my Grandfather used to call it, is the greatest
precursor to anxiety attacks. In other words, to stop
the attacks, you are going to need to start
doing things a bit differently, and changing your everyday
habits.
"The
same habits that produce the anxiety in the first place are
not likely to cure it."

If you are dealing with anxiety and panic attacks there is
only one place to start: acceptance.
This
may sound strange, and you may ever be wondering how you can
accept something that causes do much turmoil and disruption
in your life. But the main thing you need to accept is your
ole in creating the attacks.
This
is NOT the same thing as blaming yourself for your anxiety
attacks--not at all. It is simply accepting responsibility,
that you have a role in all this, and are not just an "innocent
bystander."
Anxiety
attacks are something we are actively involved in--they are
not something that simply happens "to us."
One
of the primary ways that we help create anxiety attacks is
by trying to over-control ourselves and our environment. But
with the right resources to help
you, you can learn to begin relaxing control a bit, and going
with the flow to a much greater extent.
Anxiety
and panic attacks can be overcome by learning to work with
your environment, instead of reaching for greater and greater
control over it. These "control issues" are the
primary cause of anxiety in the first place, that's why the
EasyCalm Anxiety Coaching Videos
spend so much time on this subject. The exercises in the series
are designed to eliminate the control issues that are the
root cause of anxiety attacks.
If
you're dealing with a serious anxiety issue, it may be time
that you strike back, and "attack" the anxiety,
instead of the other way around. Take the first step and get
the resources you need. Your peace of mind depends on it.
Start today--start now.
