To get rid of anxiety attacks you will have to understand the thought process and bring about changes.
The anxious moments with intense panic or fear can occur all of a sudden.
However most of the times these attacks are triggered by an event or the very thought of the event or activity.
Mostly these are negative thoughts.
Examples of such negative thoughts are -  What would happen if the escalator stops in between? Or what would happen if I forget my speech? Or will I be able to speak in front of so many people and so on.
The key to get rid of anxiety attacks is to overcome negative thoughts.
So if you can bring about a change to how you react to these negative thoughts then it is possible to control the influence and the power of these negative thoughts to take control of you.
Here are some tips to bring a change in your thought process.
1) First and foremost you need to realize that these negative thoughts will continue to come.
You cannot avoid or push them back.
There is scientific evidence that says that the more you push these thoughts, the more often they come back.
For example if someone insults you by giving a negative remark to your speech, this remark will have a negative influence on you.
Your emotional reaction to the negative remark can potentially create fear and panic every time you have to give a speech in the future.
2) The way you need to change your response to the negative thought is to allow the thought to come but do not pay much attention and react to it.
If you can think positively by considering that it is almost unlikely for the event or activity to happen, then you will easily be able to overcome fear and panic.
Do not qualify the thought by reacting to it.
You will have to tell yourself that although the thought is possible, but there is only a remote possibility.
And you are not going to get concerned by it.
Those who can embrace these facts and bring about a change in the thought process will find it much easier to get rid of anxiety attacks.
