How to Prevent Panic Attacks With Simple Methods
Learning how to prevent panic attacks can be a completely life changing thing to do. Whether you have experienced one or even many of these types of attacks you know how frightening they can be and you know what a huge negative impact it can cause in your life. As they say ‘prevention is better than cure’ now is the perfect time to learn how to stop these frightening moments as quickly as possible.
Firstly it is important to understand that panic attacks are completely natural, they happened to a lot of people and you certainly aren’t ill if you experience one. It is simply a response triggered by your body very similar to the fight or flight syndrome that we hear so much about. When your body or more importantly your brain thinks you are in danger it triggers the fight or flight response which enables you to stand your ground or run away from danger as quickly as possible. So you begin to breathe heavily in order to supply your muscles with oxygen and your heart rate quickens to pump blood around your body. This is mother nature’s way of preparing your body in the face of danger. The problem is that when there is no real danger our brains heightened response turns into a very frightening panic mode.
However preventing this from happening can be quite straightforward as you simply need to find the trigger that causes this type of response. Eradicate the trigger and you are in prevention mode! Obviously if you have a deep rooted fear that triggers your attack then facing up to it is easier said than done. In these circumstances working with a therapist on cognitive behaviour techniques will be extremely effective, as they can take you through methods that enable you to confront negative thought patterns and overcome the symptoms.
If you’re panic attacks are not triggered by a deep rooted fear you can prevent them through many different simple tasks many of which rely on distraction methods. For example some people prevent them by simply lying down, relaxing and drinking some fresh cold water. Other people prevent them by purposefully controlling their breathing at a normal rate, some people even choose to run 100 yards to completely distract their body and mind from the moment.
Obviously you need to find a method that works for you in that very moment, however there are some longer-term steps you can take such as ensuring you eat a very healthy and balanced diet, get plenty of sleep and ensure you exercise regularly. This ensures your body and mind remain healthy and you keep stress levels are very low using natural methods.
Think carefully about which method you can use and try to discover the very trigger of your attacks. If you are serious about preventing attacks and moving forward in your life with positive results, then visit this site for life enhancing coaching.
