Hi,

If you feel a panic attack or feelings of anxiety creeping up on you then try this word repetition technique that I learned that helps me to quickly 'snap out' of my panic attacks:

I simply repeat the words 'cream cake' over and over in my head as quickly as I can without stopping.    You could use any word or words you like really but that's what I chose (because I like cream cakes).  It apparently works because it doesn't give your brain time to process the panicky thoughts and so helps you to relax again.  Seems strange I know ... but it works for me!

There's also a free ebook that I found really useful called 'Get Rid of Panic and Anxiety for Good'. If you want to take a look you can find it at: http://curepanicattacks.premiergold.info...    Even though I got it for free it has helped me absolutely loads!

Here is the solution to your problem... move a muscle, change a thought. All your difficulties are rooted in your perceptions. So, change your perceptions. Drink lots of fresh water, eat fruits and vegetables. Be real kind to everyone around you. Read and meditate on good things. Exercise will release tons of endorphines into your body chemistry. Otherwise, be lazy about it and let negative thoughts ruin your life.
