Reviewing in How to Get Rid of Anxiety and Panic
Sometimes we have to review to get rid of anxiety and panic. Anxiety and panic stems from
stress, however the root of most problems is fear itself. Therefore, you have to review your mind sometimes to
learn what your fears and find a way to cope with those fears. To cope, you will need to come to agreement and
accept the fears.
To learn how to cope with fears that increases stress levels you have to consider the reality of your fears, or the
imagined fears. For instance, if your fear comes from terror, horror, or fright you need to consider the real
danger against the imagined danger. If you are driving down the road and hit by a vehicle, later you will have fear
resulting from flashbacks of the injury, especially so if the wreck caused injury. The reality of your fear in this
instance if valid and realism exists, however at one time or another you have to overcome the fear of driving
again. While it is possible to have more than one wreck in a lifetime, it is less likely if you learn from the
accident. For instance, you could practice safer driving by staying alert to on-coming vehicles as well as your own
actions on the road.
Still, fear comes from other sources as well. For instance, alarm often leads to panic. To help you see we can
consider a common example. A bill arrives in the mail and you have one week to pay the bill, yet your funds are
low. Bills are a trigger to the emotions, since it threatens your security. Therefore, many people become alarmed,
panic, and feel dread. What can you do?
You can ignore the bill but it will only cause you problems. The key is to dig up resources that will help you find
a way to deal with your financial problem. Is it possible a friend or family member could loan you the money to pay
the bill on time to avoid late charges? Is it possible you could call the creditor, explain your situation, and ask
for an extension? Sure, creditors will often work with you since they dread turning accounts over to the credit
collectors. Creditors like to stay on friendly grounds with their clients.
Fear also comes from worry, which if out of control leads to anxiety and panic. My philosophy and has proven to
work is to live one day at a time and get done now what you need to get done, so you do not have to worry about it
tomorrow. I can sit around all day worrying, but in the long run my health will shatter, therefore why worry when
you have no clue what tomorrow will bring you.
The main point here is you have to control fear and stress. If you fail to control the fear and stress, it will
lead to anxiety, panic, and finally phobia. Phobias are often irrational fears that stem from many sources. What
you can do is sit down and think about your fears to find validity.
Now take a moment and sit down, thinking of your fears. What are your fears? Are the fears logical? What are you
afraid of and how can you work to minimize the fear. After reviewing your mind, you should come up with new ideas
unless you fight the mind's ability to bring you to focus. If you find areas that terrify you, face it, rather than
fear it. The more you face your fears, the better chance you have of getting rid of anxiety and panic.
