Most ways are simple and will greatly increase your level or tolerance while lowering your anxiety levels and give you a feeling of satisfaction from being able to control your panic attacks. We will focus on only the best and most rewarding ways to reduce the anxiety and depression associated with panic attacks. You don’t have to suffer from panic attacks, you can instead use plans to work against their plot and find a better appreciation of the small, important things in life.

Panic Attacks

1. Watch a funny movie. Humor can literally replace the distressed emotions you feel when you are about to have a panic attack with positive ones in your brain. That is because when you are stressed you release a stress hormone called cortisol, laughter actually is proven to reduce this hormone and instead put out a happy one in it’s place. So put in your favorite comedy and maybe ask a pal to join you with some popcorn and you can both be in on the laughs.

2. Pet your dog. People who have pets live longer lives and have lessened risks or heart attacks and you guessed it, they better deal with anxiety! In fact, every time you run your fingers through your pets hair the relaxing motion and bonding feeling actually lowers your stress levels and promotes a more even breathing pattern and happier demeanor. Your dog will thank you for it.

3. Use a yummy natural anxiety aid. Not all medicine has to be bad tasting and boring. Many foods rich in vitamins in the “B” food group work to lower your stress levels. So treat yourself to a banana split or frozen yogurt at your local ice cream store as banana’s and yogurt can significantly lower your anxiety and well taste great while doing it, just make sure to avoid that excessive caffeine while on your splurge.

4. Do your favorite thing. When distracting the brain with something you can get really ‘into’ you stop the process of a panic attack. Whether you like to paint or garden go at it! Can’t think of anything to do, start a new hobby in scrap-booking or buy a magazine on fun cooking ideas. Who can be stressed when crafting a set of cupcakes to look like happy zoo animals, it may not be piratical but don’t be afraid to feel silly sometimes, you are helping yourself to get better after all.

5. Take a walk. Both exercise and exposure to sunlight can elevate you mood, decrease you depression and anxiousness and help you in a multitude of ways. Make your walk to a fun place like by the local duck pond at the park, feed some ducks and do some walking around the place, try not to feel stressed with all the people and instead focus on all the good things in you life right now.
