More and more people are treating panic attacks without medication. Drug-based treatment has many negative side effects including dependency, so sufferers are turning to more natural treatments for their condition. Here are 3 simple treatments for panic attacks without medication...
TREATMENT FOR PANIC ATTACKS #1 - WATER
Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. When our bodies become dehydrated they can produce many different symptoms, some of which are signs of anxiety. Dehydration is one of the major causes of fatigue during the day. And your body needs a constant supply of fresh water in order to transport nutrients, hormones and chemical messengers to your vital organs. You should drink at least 8 glasses a day.
TREATMENT FOR PANIC ATTACKS #2 - GET DISTRACTED
Get involved in an activity to stop your preoccupation with your anxiety. With general anxiety you're continually self-checking your state of mind, worrying about your condition, etc. This perpetuates your anxiety. You need a regular activity that will totally stimulate you and require your complete attention. In this way you are regularly 'distracted' from your anxiety, allowing you to relax more, and, reduce anxiety.
TREATMENT FOR PANIC ATTACKS #3 - FACE THEM HEAD-ON
First, an attack can't cause you harm; fact. The symptoms may seem as though you're having a heart attack and about to die, but you aren't and you won't. It's your 'fear' of another attack that builds-up your general anxiety levels and triggers an attack. By getting rid of this fear, and breaking the vicious cycle of anxiety, you can eliminate panic attacks and start to reduce your anxiety. Always remember an attack can't harm you.
Now let's carry out an experiment. Make yourself have an anxiety attack right now. Go on. You can't can you? No matter how hard you try it just won't happen. You are in total control so you won't have one. It's only when you let your (false) 'fear' of an attack take over that your anxiety controls you.
So next time you feel even the stirrings of a possible attack, meet it head-on and say, "I know what this is; come on, do your worst, I'll beat you every time!" And the ONE MOVE technique helps you do just that.
