The first step for anxiety panic attack relief

The first step to learn anxiety panic attack relief is to believe that you have the ability to take control. Anxiety disorder is not a disease it’s a state of mind that can be controlled. The body responds to the messages sent to it by your mind, even if the situation is totally safe but your mind interprets it as unsafe, your body will respond to what you think. The first step in anxiety panic attack relief is changing the way you think. During anxiety attacks, tell to yourself “I will be alright, this cannot harm me and I will feel better.” Your mind and the way you think can control your anxiety physical symptoms. Changing your negative thoughts to positive thoughts will decrease and eliminate your physical symptoms.

Breathing exercises is another anxiety panic attack relief that you can do. During anxiety attacks you experience hyperventilation or you are breathing faster causing dizziness, shortness of breath and other anxiety disorder symptoms. By changing the way you breathe during attacks you can lessen your symptoms. Deep and slow breathing will help you to feel more relax and calm. Take a deep breathe through your nose, hold it for 3 seconds and exhale slowly.

Healthy Lifestyle With balanced emotions

You see, to have a healthy lifestyle we need to have balanced emotions and good mental health. If we live in constant anxiety we focus too much energy on problems and possible solutions. For example, if we're having marriage difficulties we tend to worry not only about the unhappy state of affairs, but also about the consequences.

And this can lead to even more nervousness and anxiety - leading in turn to anti-social habits such as:

* heavy drinking or smoking

* abuse of drugs

* over-reactions

* poor concentration

* and a deterioration in our relationships with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

When prolonged this state of affairs can lead to depression and serious mental ill-health. At that point prescribed medication may be the only answer. But why let it get to that point? You can combat stress and find many forms of natural anxiety relief by taking your emotions and lifestyle in control.
