I have arranged a few tactics that I myself have used in order to lessen my night panic attacks during a stressful week. These are just very simple yet significant moves that you can practice in order to help yourself in the middle of an attack. Initially, I recognize the panic. It’s best that you are still in control during an episode. Allowing your attack to be in control of you will only make things worse. Once I realize that I am having a panic attack it makes it easier for me to determine my next move. The next one would be to observe your body reactions. Take note of your breathing, pulse and check if your hands or other parts of your body are trembling.

Now, it’s time to take in control of the physical signals of your anxiety attack. The best way for all the symptoms to subside is breathing evenly. Normalizing your breathing pattern can also improve your circulation. Thus, the trembling will eventually coordinate with your breathing’s pace, making it go away. Remember that the old breath-in breath-out routine is usually the best first aid for you anxiety attack. Once your breathing has stabilized, it’s time for you to notice what actually caused your body to react that way. This is the time that you have to remind yourself that your fear is unreal. Most of the time, we tend to think of exaggerated negative outcome or F.E.A.R. - - False Evidence Appearing Real. You can also alter your focus by grabbing a funny magazine to read or by watching your favourite late night show.

It is always best to not worry too much. Remember, prolonged negative thoughts can escalate the formation of wrinkles!
