Strategies For Effectively Preventing Anxiety Attacks



Most of the people I've met who have anxiety attacks are almost always afraid to express themselves to certain pple in their lives. So they continue dishonoring themselves by walking on eggshells and not expressing what's really going on.

You can get rid of your anxiety attacks and be Anxiety Free. Anxiety is a terrible condition to have and leaves you feeling very isolated. You need to learn to understand your anxiety and then take control of it. Control through;

1. Searching out your trigger points and what it is about them that affects you
2. Understanding and directing your self talk
3. Building support with loved ones and friends
4. Facing each anxiety and panic attack knowing it will not harm you
5. Forcing uncomfortable situations on yourself
6. Facing your fears and seeing them for what they aren't

Restructure priorities: Emphasize positive, effective behavior.
Make time for recreational and pleasurable activities.
Communicate: Explain and assert your needs to someone you trust; write in a journal to express your feelings.
Try to focus on positive outcomes and finding methods for reducing and managing stress.
When you get anxious, try remove yourself from what is around you ; count to ten ; remind yourself you are safe, no one is going to hurt you.
Learn yoga, martial art, tai chi, or a similar art. Try reading self-help books that stress self-control and help you develop it.
I suggest you take a serious time out from everyone and everything and relax for a couple of days. Give your body time to recharge and settle down.
