Learn To Relax: Learn some simple relaxation technique. You may choose deep breathing, body scan relaxation, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or any other technique of your choice. Spend 10 to 15 minutes relaxing your body at least twice a day. This will bring down the levels of stress and anxiety accumulated in your body, and will help you in overcoming panic attacks. Such exercises give your body a break from incessant anxiety and worrying thoughts attacking your nerves and give a feeling of wellness and confidence.

You can also make use of visual imagery to relax yourself. For example, try the following – Imagine a garden where everything is so relaxed and beautiful. Feel at peace there. Take a walk on green grass with bare feet, feeling the wet grass on your souls.

I have personally found such visual exercises very effective in quickly bringing down the anxiety levels. All day long you might be tormenting yourself with constant worrying, with doomsday thoughts -- such positive images help your brain cool down. With sufficient practice you can learn to invoke relaxation response even in stressful situations.

Breathe Properly: Take notice of our breathing. High levels of stress and anxiety give rise to shallow breathing: you are not making use of the full capacity of your lungs. Oxygen is life for body as well as mind. Insufficient oxygen intake will adversely affect your efforts in overcoming panic attacks, rather they will abet them.

Deep breathing is immensely relaxing. Take care that you are breathing properly all the time. Doing just this much will bring down stress levels in your body and reduce the chances of another panic attack.

Also, notice the nature of your breathing under anxiety producing conditions. Try and bring your breathing to normal during such conditions: you will observe that your misery is reduced to some extent. It is quite possible that improper breathing is a major factor of your present condition. So breathing properly and deeply is an important part of your strategy for overcoming panic attacks.

Acceptance: By this I mean both the self acceptance and the acceptance that there is such a problem and you have to resolve it. The symptoms like sweating, blushing and racing heart bring upon you the feelings of misery and shame. You may feel that this is something that you can never accept.

Remember the stream. When you are swimming in a fast stream, the only way out is by flowing through the stream. If you fight it you will drown. Such is the case here. The more you fight your symptoms, the more severe they will get. Just accept them, let them come, without any effort on your part to manage them. When you let your symptoms be, you will have more energy to concentrate on the situation at hand. You are not your symptoms: by doing well what you are doing, you will prove to your own self that you are worth it.

Finding Courage: Overcoming panic attacks is not only suppressing the symptoms; this is only a small albeit most visible part. A life time of negative thinking, expecting the worst, self pity and such self negating patterns are behind these manifested symptoms. Overcoming panic attacks is going to take a good amount of courage and effort on your part.

The only way to overcome a fear is to do face it: confront what are afraid of, do what you fear to do. There is no other way. You will find the courage to do so within your heart. What take you in will also bring you out. You are only your thoughts. Take steps to change them. Instead of falling a victim to negative and fearful thoughts and live in fearful world, create a positive environment in your mind, and live with courage and happiness.
