Cure Your Panic Attacks By Stopping Your Obsessive
August 12th, 2010 | by admin |Almoat all of your panic is caused by the obsessive thoughts you experience. Whenever you’ve had anxiety in the past, it started with an obsessive thought, guaranteed. And then it gained momentum and went on to become the anxiety-related problem you experienced or the panic attack you had.
If you think this isn’t how it works with you and that your obsessive thoughts AREN’T the cause of your anxiety, start paying attention to how and what you’re thinking before your anxiety increases.
You’ll be surprised what you discover, because obsessive thoughts are at the heart of anxiety and panic in EVERYONE. I know this from talking and working with literally THOUSANDS of people who are just like you, and who are just like I was when obsessive thoughts were causing my own anxiety for 17 years.
Unfortunately, when you have an anxiety disorder, it’s impossible to drop a thought automatically like most other people can. So the solution to this problem is finding ways to consciously drop a thought before it becomes harmful – before it becomes OBSESSIVE.
I have a 3 step plan you can start using right now to stop all your obsessive thoughts:
First Step: This step is all about you retraining your brain so that it can easily spot harmful thoughts the moment they strike. This also includes small thoughts that might seem harmless, but these have the potential to grow and get out of control, so consider these small ones just as important as the bigger ones.
Second Step: You need to become exactly like people with no anxiety problems. For them, it’s simple to stop a bad thought anytime they want to. For you, it takes a little more work. The only way to stop one thought is by having another thought, so to stop the damaging thoughts you simply need to have a new thought that takes its place. You might be wondering what you should be thinking. The answer is simple: think of whatever it takes to stop that original and damaging thought.
Okay, step three is to make this new positive way of thinking a habit that happens automatically, just as your harmful thoughts are happening automatically for you right now. The only way to make this happen is to think positive thoughts as frequently as possible. In time, your mind will automatically think these positive thoughts when your mind wanders, where once it would have gone immediately to the damaging thoughts you experience right now.
Use these 3 steps to quickly put a stop to your obsessive thoughts and your panic attacks.
