Anxiety Attack Treatment

Again  talking about our main challenge which is how to deal with anxiety, and today we’re going to move a little deeper and we’re going to talk about the anxiety attack treatment and we’re mainly going to focus on how to treat anxiety attacks whenever they pop up in our lives. 

In our society whenever we see a dog that looks dangerous what do we do usually ? Do we run ? In your opinion, do you think that we should runaway ? I think this won’t be a wise solution.

When you runaway, you think that you did the best thing, but unfortunately you made the worst thing that you should not do. Because by doing so the dog will chase you just because you are running. You become traped in what you were afraid of.

I think that the best solution to keep the dog away from you is to PRETEND that nothing is happening, pretend that there is no dog around you. From the inside you are scared to death but from the outside you are calm, relaxed and smiling. From the inside of you, you are FEELING the fear and your heart is beating wildly, but you BEHAVE AS THOUGH nothing is happening. You are taking control of yourself, your feelings and behaviours.

Now, what if I tell you that you can use these simple techniques to deal with your anxiety attack. And here is your exercise, don’t worry it is as simple as drinking a glass of water. But to remind you that what’s easy to do is easy NOT to do. So the exercise is the following :

Use your imagination. Try to imagine a situation where you had an anxiety attack, I want you to be still for a moment and I want you to feel your anxiety. I want you to feel the feeling that you had that moment and I want you to observe it. I want you to ask yourself what causes this feeling to be triggered ? because if you can contrôle the cause you can control the outcome.  

After doing that, I want you to imagine yourself as an opened window that lets the air come in with no problems. In other words, I want you NOT to keep those fellings of anxiety, fear, resentment or whatsoever in your chest ANYMORE, I want you let go of them.
Sipmly let go of them because they won’t serve you, what’s going to serve you is the inner peace that you are going to give space to enter your heart when you let go of those useless feelings.

To make this little exercise more effecient I want you to practice it often, and believe me if you DO IT  and if you start to let go of those feeling that trigger the anxiety attack. You will start to feel a sens of inner strength and greatness within.

When you start to feel that, all I can say to you is CONGRATULATIONS ! You are on the road of recovery, because ALL THE POWER LIES WITHIN, and if you search outside you won’t find it.  

So to make the idea that I just shared with you become more clear in your  mind here is a quote that I want you to think of for a moment, ok.  
   
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” Frank Herbert, Dune 

Just free yourself from the feelings that trigger the anxiety attacks and don't resist them because what you resist will persist.

How to deal with anxiety. Part2

As we said earlier in the first part that we have, as humans, something that no animal has which is imagination, and what imagination allows you to do, it allows to see it before you actually have it or live it.

So here are the other two steps of the three steps system for how to deal with anxiety. And as I told you this  system will help you save more time than before if you are willing to do the exercises I am about to share with you.

Step 2 DECIEVE YOUR MIND.

What I want you to share with you here is that you are going to use your imagination to decieve your mind. For your mind can’t distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. And  all the changes you are going to make, while you imagine certain situation, may look weird or your mind won’t accept them at first, but you have to believe that this is the change you want, that will help you overcome any situation that may make you feel anxious. 

So keep imagining and keep making the changes you want, keep decieving your mind, untill it accepts them as a reality. 

For instance, if you are anxious just tell yourself I am excited. At first it’s going to be weird and difficult to do it, but if you are persistent enough to do it many times, your mind will eventually accept it as a reality. And the change you desire will slyly begin to take it’s place.

Step 3 ACTION.

After integrating your pattern of thinking about how you will feel and behave whenever you encounter a situation that makes you feel anxious, I want you to go out and meet people and try to see if you really succeeded at decieving your mind.

  You are not  going to lose anything if you try and things didn’t work out for you in the first time. But don’t give up. Try again, and again and again, untill you make it. Just go and meet people. And as we said in a previous article that no idea works untill you take action. And life becomes worthwhile if you TRY.

Here is a trick that I will share with you, that you can use to see that we can decieve our minds. This trick is going to take you two minutes and it will dramatically change how you feel. Are you ready.


Before you go out to meet people, I want you to rise your hands in the air , as a sign of victory or YES I made it, for two minutes.


 Believe me after that you will begin to smile and everthing inside you will begin to change. And now you’re ready to meet people, so go and bring yourself victory. Because you are that powerfull.



I know that these steps are easy and so simple but I want to remind you of something: WHAT'S EASY TO DO, IS EASY NOT TO DO.


And remember



                YOU ARE THE IMAGINATION OF YOURSELF

How to deal with anxiety. Part1

Concerning how to deal with anxiety no matter what it is, and as we said that in previous articles, we need first to look at it as a puzzle. I mean that there is no one way or one solution on how to overcome social anxiety or any other anxiety but there are plenty of solutions for that.

Most people who have anxiety, of any type, are obssessively thinking about how to overcome anxiety, and they also have a great deal of information and ideas about how to overcome social anxiety. The good news is that they know how to overcome anxiety as well as you do.

I want to tell you that I don’t care how much you know, I am sorry, but I care more about what you DO with what you know. Because knowledge is not power, it’s rather APPLYING knowledge, that’s what I call POWER.

As I told you earlier that dealing with anxiety is a puzzle that you have to complete it yourself, and today I am going to share with you what I call the 3 steps system for how to deal with anxiety. This  system will help you save more time than before if you do the exercises I am about to share with you.

Step 1 IMAGINATION.

Do you know that we, humans, have the ability to decieve our minds. In other words, we can talk to ourselves in the way we want so as to achieve something we want.
In this first step I want you to take from ten to fifteen minutes to imagine yourself in a situation that drives you anxious. I want you to examine how you feel at that moment,  and I want you to see how you move your body at that moment as well.

Now I want you to ask yourself this question. How do I want to be when I am with people ? Do I want to be anxious or to be in a position of power, enthusiasm and confidence ?

Ok, if your answer is YES, I want to become confident. Then your exercise is the following.

  I want you to go back to your imagination, your movie, and make the changes you want to have whenever you are around people or in any situation that looks like the one you had in your mind. And it’s going to take you less than ten minutes. It’s not going to take you the whole day to do it. If you CHOSE to do it, it will work for you.

in the next article I will give the other two steps. they are as easy as this one.
