How to Avoid Panic Attacks

If you want to learn how to avoid panic attacks then you first have to do a little learning about what they really are.

Panic attacks generally fall under the phrase "medical condition"

It's with this condition that you can experience sudden outbursts which can happen anywhere.

You'll sometimes experience unprovoked fear for no real reason at all. The feeling will just take over your body and put you in a state of mind where it can be impossible for you to do anything constructive.

It might also come across as the feeling of dying. Many people have reported having this feeling when having a panic attack.

Now having said that about these situations, here are some things you can do to avoid having the attack.

One of the things you can do that works really well is to do relaxation techniques.

Preferably progressive relaxation. This is where you tense the muscles of your body one by one until you have released all of the tension from you body.

You could also try using a simple distraction technique. With this you want to put your mind on something else besides whats causing you the fear. It could be something like just counting down from 100 when you feel like an attack is coming.

Another relaxation tactic is the use of deep breathing.

I can say this one works for sure because I've used it myself. I would inhale for a count of ten and exhale for a count twelve.

Doing that always relieve me of any tension I might be holding onto.

Focusing on what you can control and not on the things that you have no control over is another fantastic way of avoiding panic attacks.

These of course are not an end all list, but more of a starting point. You can find even more ways to avoid having panic attacks by going here.
