How To Stop Panic Attacks And Obsessive Thoughts
Have you ever wondered what the root cause of all your panic and anxiety truly is? Well, in my opinion, it’s very likely to be the obsessive thoughts you have. These obsessive thoughts are like snowballs that gather momentum and size and turn into the problems your anxiety causes you.
Just in case you’re thinking that you’re the exception to this theory, let me encourage you to give this theory a chance by beginning to pay close attention to exactly what’s on your mind in the moments before your anxiety gets out of control.
Most people are very surprised at the results when they study themselves in this way, and I think there’s a good chance you will be too. And there’s a good reason why I can predict this kind of outcome: because for many years (almost 20, in fact) I lived with exactly the same problems you’re living with right now.
The really awful thing about having an anxiety disorder is that you can’t just shut off your bad thoughts like a lot of non-anxious people can. So you need a different option. And that option is to find ways to bring an instant halt to a potentially harmful thought before it ever has a chance to become an obsession.
So I’m gonna share a quick 3 step system you can start using TODAY anytime you have a harmful or negative thought that you need to stop before it becomes obsessive and causes you real problems. And here are the 3 steps:
Step #1: You need to train yourself to be able to spot a damaging thought as soon as it starts inside you. So don’t ignore harmful thoughts, even when they seem small and harmless. Realise that these little thoughts can turn into big ones, and treat them like something you MUST stop.
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 asking what you should be thinking. The answer is simple: think of whatever it takes to stop that original and damaging thought.
Third Step: Your damaging thoughts usually begin when your mind is left to wander, or to daydream. This is how thinking these bad thoughts becomes a habit. By thinking these thoughts too frequently they start to happen on their own, and they creep up on you and do their damage. To end this problem, there’s only 1 answer: creating a new default frame of mind, one that’s calm, positive, and pleasant. You do this by thinking good, positive thoughts as often as you can, so that this becomes the type of thinking your brain does automatically when you aren’t paying attention.
Use these 3 steps to quickly put a stop to your obsessive thoughts and your panic attacks.
