Realize that the voices in our heads are not us. It is our survival brain (i.e. our Amygdala) talking. Its job is to keep us safe and to keep us away from danger. Again, this is not us.

Accept that fear will be there when we are working on anything that would result in us changing—learning something new, creating something unique, losing weight, writing a book, gaining weight, marketing ourselves, improving a relationship, meeting a new person. Anticipate that our minds will be there trying to stir up resistance. Accept, anticipate and prepare for it.

Diet Helps Eliminate Anxiety

A proper diet helps eliminate panic and anxiety…

1. Water

There is no quicker way to reduce general anxiety than practicing proper eating and drinking habits. One of the most easily implemented and effective additions to your diet is fresh water. Water is a great  thirst quencher — but more importantly it is a helpful tool as an anxiety cure.

Nearly every function of the body is related to the efficient flow of water through our system. Water transports hormones‚ chemical messengers‚ and nutrients to vital organs and systems of the body. When we don’t keep our bodies well hydrated‚ they may react with a variety of signals such as anxiety‚ which we would never think are related to our poor drinking habits.

What Causes A Panic Attack?

The World Health Organization says this about panic disorders:  “The essential feature is recurrent attacks of severe anxiety (panic), which are not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances and are therefore unpredictable. As with other anxiety disorders, the dominant symptoms include sudden onset of palpitations, chest pain, choking sensations, dizziness, and feelings of unreality (depersonalization or derealization). There is often also a secondary fear of dying, losing control, or going mad. Panic disorder should not be given as the main diagnosis if the patient has a depressive disorder at the time the attacks start; in these circumstances the panic attacks are probably secondary to depression.”

Panic Attack – Anxiety Disorders

Panic attacks and anxiety issues impact huge numbers of people every year. Researchers say that more women than men are diagnosed with or experience panic and anxiety attack symptoms  and anxiety problems and  in many instances the cause is unknown.
