#1 The first thing you need to do about your panic attacks is change something that you do. Its doesnt matter what, just start changing something.
Go out and do something fun, get your mind distracted, do something different than your routine. It is because of the way you think about things right now that you have panic attacks. The first step is start changing your environment.
Often people who have panic attacks are bored or have farrr too much time to think about things. Get distracted! Find things that you enjoy that distract you from thinking about anything else.
#2 Change your state. We are working towards getting you ready to take your panic attacks head on, but before we do that we need to get you out of that state so you can view things more objectively.
Watch funny videos to change your thought-emotional content and bring yourself out of that way of thinking.
#3 Once you have changed your state and are staying busy to keep you from always thinking about things we are going to implement a practice to help you.
Panic attacks stem from worrying. Worrying stems from thinking about future possibilities. So the way to counter this problem is to get back into the moment.
What you do is notice tiny, minuscule details about the world around you. Begin by looking at your arm or hand. Notice every tiny hair on it.
Look at your skin, notice the finite details.
Do that for about 30 seconds, taking in every subtle detail about what your looking at. Now you are back in the present moment.
When you find yourself trying to get into a worrying state, just observe something very carefully in the present moment and focus all your attention on the present. Then you will get better and better at being in the now and not trying to constantly live in a worry-panic state about the future.
