When trying to find safe harbor from panic and anxiety attacks, you're likely to try some things that won't help you. Some may even hurt you. Keeping a level head about this and educating yourself on the causes can help lead you to the best methods to cure you of your anxiety attacks. We'll discuss your natural options in this post.
First, a distinction needs to be made. While pills can work or help, they are far from ideal. They cover up the symptoms, and should you ever find yourself without them, you can go into a panic attack simply due to that. There is no end in sight to taking them, so they will be very expensive. Many pills are marketed as a "natural" solution, but having to take them for the rest of your life doesn't seem natural to me. That's why we'll be focusing on your other choices today.
There is a deep connection between your mind and your body. Destructive thoughts will make your body tense because your subconscious can not tell the difference between what is real and what you imagine. When you think about calming things, your heartbeat slows, and when you think about scary things it will increase. Panic attacks occur when you don't consistently and constructively control your focus.
The connection also works in reverse though. Happiness can be quickly changed to sadness if you move your body as you do when you are depressed. You can use this principle constructively to make yourself happy when you're sad though. These are examples you need to force to make work for you, but you can also do things with your body so that you're naturally less tense and thus further from a panic attack.
For example, if you have a poor diet, it can result in any number of destructive things. Poor blood pressure levels, increased heart rate, plus more general tension are instances of some. Some substances are specifically hazardous if you have panic attacks. Alcohol and caffeine can each push you towards a panic attack. Caffeine can make you tense and on edge while alcohol makes it difficult to control your focus.
Regular exercise and meditation also does wonders. The exercise not only makes you less tense, but the process stimulates the production of endorphins, putting you in a better, happier mood. When you're in a state like that you have more confidence that you can win against panic attacks. You'll find yourself with a better perspective and stronger mental control. Also on the physical subject, ensure that you get adequate sleep each night.
Nothing covered so far is individually a cure, but when you use it all together, you will have fewer panic attacks. The true cure for panic attacks is changing your thought patterns.
By taking constant effort towards this end and having enough leverage over yourself, it can be easier than you think to do this. You need to recognize that there are patterns in the questions you ask yourself and the things you think about. This applies both as you're building to a panic attack and during the rest of the day. You should alter any negative focuses that exist out of proper perspective. You can interrupt a pattern to stop a panic attack building. The true power is in changing your focus to be a consistently positive one thereby preventing such attacks from building.
