How To Deal With Anxiety

Anxiety can and should be dealt with. In this post, I will first tell you how to deal with anxiety or panic attacks using some, let’s say, “emergency methods”, and then I will recommend you a self-help tool for a more substantial approach. Because, you see, it is not enough to stop an attack – one should eliminate the cause of anxiety.

So, how will we stop attacks of anxiety, fear, or panic? We will use some breathing techniques. Breathing, when used properly, can work wonders. It is not without reason that such a great attention is paid to breathing in yoga, Taoism, and many psychotherapies.

In this article, I will describe two breathing techniques for overcoming anxiety attacks. One is taken from medicine, and another one – from yoga. You can choose whichever method you want.

So, here is the first method taken from yoga:

Inhale fully through the nose (“fully” means that both the belly and the chest are involved in the inhale, first the belly, then the chest). The inhale should last seven seconds – that is, inhaling, you should count seconds in your head (one, and, two, and…, etc). Then, exhale fully through the nose – the exhale should last seven seconds, too. Don’t count seconds too fast. As practice shows, half a dozen breaths usually do the trick. But, if it is not enough for you, continue to breathe in such a way until you are sure the anxiety is gone.

Now, let's see how to deal with anxiety attacks using the second - medical - method:

Inhale slowly just to the belly. What do I mean when I say “slowly”? I mean that the speed of you breathing (or, as scientists put it, your respiratory rate) should be approximately eight breaths per minute. Normal respiratory rate is about twelve breaths per minute - so your breathing should be slower than your normal one by one third (of course, it is a rule of thumb; the main thing is to breathe SLOWER than usually). After the inhale to the belly, exhale – again with your belly. The chest is not involved, so it shouldn’t move (place your hands on your ribs to check it). So, the breathing is belly only, and it is slow. Breathe in this fashion until the anxiety is gone (or significantly reduced).

That’s it. Now you know how to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. But, as I pointed out above, stopping an attack is not enough – we should eradicate the cause of anxiety healing the mind.

Now, I’m going to recommend you a self-help tool that will allow you solving the problem of anxiety as well as any other mental problem. It is a computer program for automatic self-suggestion – it will reprogram your mind so that you become mentally healthy (actually, it will enable you to suggest yourself anything you want. Using it, you will be able not only to get rid of anxiety, phobias, depression, and so on, but also to be productive, creative, happy, etc). FOLLOW THIS LINK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS UNIQUE TOOL.
