Cure panic attacks through distraction.

There are many ways in how we can cure panic attacks. For instance we can try the distraction method. This won’t cure panic attacks as such, but when you get skilled in it you might be able to control your panic attacks when they are coming. The way it works is that when you notice you are getting into a panic attack or into an anxiety state you simply start doing something else that demands all your attention. For example you might start to do the dishes or vacuum clean or run ten laps around the house. The last one is one of my own distraction methods. At one point I had to do four sets of ten laps around the house a day to “punish” my anxiety thoughts and feelings. And I live on the side of a mountain so it isn’t an easy run around the house although the house is quite small. When I was getting to lap 6 or so I was getting very tired and the panic attack and anxiety was often going down as my throat tasted of blood due to me being so unfit! At lap 10 I could often see the comedy in what I was doing and could laugh about the whole thing. After I was done I would go inside and continue what I was doing. It takes a bit of self discipline I suppose to actually go out and start running. But I really had no other choice as I was so fed up after years of panic attacks with no cure.

How to cure panic attacks with thought distraction.

Sometimes, it might be enough to just think about something else rather than going to such extremes as running yourself tired. The brain namely can only hold one thought at a time so if you are thinking about a beautiful summer sky it cannot at the same time think about you having a panic attack… Fact! That is why meditation is such a powerful tool against panic attacks. When you meditate you teach your brain to hold one thought for a long time. It is quite difficult but not impossible. One way of starting to meditate is to try to think about just one thing. If something else pops up in your head, just acknowledge it and continue to put your focus on your first item. For example repeating the words “beautiful summer sky” or any other words that work for you, over and over again at the same time as trying to make an image of a beautiful summer sky in your mind, is a method of meditation.

To cure panic attacks without drugs or therapy is possible. The panic attacks have come because you have got stuck in a high anxiety level. It is a bit like if you had a switch that got a bit rusty and got stuck on high. All it needs is a bit of oiling and soon it will come down to the right level.
