Acknowledge To Yourself You Have A Problem
Before you can do anything else what you must do is sit down and even better write down on a sheet of paper, that you have a problem. Identify WHAT your problem is. Jot down ideas, notes, feelings, things you are others notice about yourself.
If you don’t know what you have how can you even start to help yourself?
The journey begins by learning all about it. Hence the reason you took my offer up on downloading this e‐book. Excellent move!But really, if you find that you are already in a full blown panic attack take these little pointers which could help you:
1. Regardless if you are scared by your thoughts or feelings, and they can scare the crap out of you sometimes, they are never going to kill you or harm you…
2. Do not resist the feelings you have welling up in your body. Do not try and tell them to go away and the reason why is that you need to confront them and be willing to accept them as part of you
3. You body will display what your mind is thinking and to that end they will be amplified
4. Focus on the positive and do not dwell on what might happen, because invariably that will NEVER happen. Just keep telling yourself that you don’t care what happens instead of wondering “What will happen if…?”
5. Keep really focused on what is happening to you and your mind in the present moment.
6. Use the simple count backwards technique that I developed for myself. See if it works for you, if not modify it until it does. Just start at 200 and start counting backwards in units of 2 such as 200,198,196. Try odd numbers to get your mind focused harder on something else.
7. Congratulate yourself every minute you deal with your fear. Mark it as a milestone.
