5 Steps to dealing with panic attacks
Panic attacks remain one of the most challenging anxieties to overcome, but it can be overcome.
A panic attack occurs when your body is extremely stressed and can no longer manage the stress. Your heart races, you start hyperventilating, you get dizzy. At the first sign of a panic attack, the key is to relax. Here are some techniques that work:
1. Deep Breathing: Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Take a deep breath in and make the hand on your stomach move and the hand on your chest remain still. Take a deep breath in and hold it for a count of three. Then breathe it out through your mouth and count to five before taking the next deep breath. You need to practice this breathing daily for at least ten minutes so that it becomes an automatic response. The more you practice the easier it gets.
2. Muscle relaxation: Starting with your toes tighten the muscles for thirty seconds to one minute until they start to ache. Then completely relax the muscle group letting it go limp , and repeat the process until you know how to relax the muscle. Repeat this with all the muscle groups- fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, legs. Practice this relaxation daily.
3. Basic/Beginner Yoga- Yoga is a great form of breathing and relaxation.
4. Music- Take some time out every day and listen to relaxing music.
5. Exercise- Exercise is the key to beating stress. Take 30 minutes a day and go for a walk outside. If you can't go outside then work indoors perhaps walking up steps.
