6. Accept the Panic Attack
One of the worst things you can do when you’re struggling with a panic attack is to try and ‘fight it’. Many people don’t want the panic attack to occur and so they will get upset and stressed about the fact that it is happening. They then fight against it and generally all this does is to work them up even more! The irony is that the angrier you get at the panic, the more panicked you become…
So instead of fighting against it, instead try to stay calm and just let it happen. This way, you will be better able to calm your nervous system and return to normal. In fact, many people recommend that you simply go about your usual business and act ‘as normal’ in order to ignore the issue and let it fade away.
This takes practice and work, but with meditation and repeated attempts, you’ll get there!
