Cure Your Panic Attacks By Stopping Your Obsessive
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.
I think you’ll be staggered to learn that obsessive thoughts are at the heart of your panic and anxiety. The reason I’m so confident about this is because I’ve interacted with literally hundreds of people who are in exactly your position, plus I also experienced these same problems for myself for almost two decades.
Unfortunately, when you have an anxiety disorder, it’s impossible to drop a thought automatically like most other people can. So the solution to this problem is finding ways to consciously drop a thought before it becomes harmful – before it becomes OBSESSIVE.
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 One is to retrain your brain, ASAP. You need to get it to a place where it can spot a negative or potentially damaging thought the moment that it starts. This includes thoughts that start out very small and seem to be no problem at all. These small thoughts can grow into large ones that cause serious problems, so these need to be treated just as the obviously terrible thoughts are treated.
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 wondering what you should be thinking. The answer is simple: think of whatever it takes to stop that original and damaging thought.
Step #3: Most harmful thoughts start when you’re daydreaming or when your mind is wandering. And these harmful thoughts are a HABIT. That’s why they happen so easily and sneak up on you, because you’ve trained your mind to slip into a negative autopilot. The only way to undo this is to retrain your mind, and you do that by thinking about nice things as often as you can, even if you have to use fantasies or old memories to do it. Think of it like creating a new default setting for your mind.
I truly believe that if you can use and stick to these 3 steps that your anxiety and panic and obsessive thoughts will be in better shape than they’ve been for many years.
