If you want to stop panic attacks there a handful of things that you must ensure you're getting right, before you move onto any of the more complex tactics you might come across.
One of these "musts" is exercise.
Exercise is one of the very best ways to control and to stop panic attacks.
This is true for many reasons, some of which are: you will increase your blood flow, meaning more vital nutrients and oxygen are distributed throughout your body; you will work your heart out, which leads to a naturally slow-beating heart when at rest - a real bonus to someone who has extreme anxiety and often suffers with palpitations; you will cause more endorphins to be released by your brain, causing a natural "high" that leads to a happier state of mind and considerably decreased anxiety levels.
So the benefits of exercise are obvious for people who are trying to stop panic attacks.
But that doesn't mean that everyone with severe anxiety and panic-related problems actually get up and do any! And a big part of that, for many people, is not knowing where to start, and not wanting the expense or the inconvenience of things such as gym memberships or buying exercise equipment.
But here's the great news.
Exercise is physical activity beyond what you would normally do.
So that includes walking up stairs, walking further than you currently do, gardening.
Pretty much anything! So you can start to enjoy the benefits of "exercise" right now simply by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking your car farther from the store to give you a longer walk, caring for your yard or garden once a week, and so on.
You get the picture, I'm sure.
They key here is that there are things you can start doing right now, today, that will genuinely be exercise, and you'll experience all the benefits I listed just now.
So try making some of these tiny changes right now.
It's one of the most powerful and underused tactics out there when you want to stop panic attacks.
