7 Quick Tips for Coping with Your Panic Attacks – PLATTE VALLEY

Another excellent tool for relaxing during or after a panic attack is to close your eyes and visualize yourself in a place that brings you a sense of calm and peace. It could be a place you have already been or someplace in your imagination. Perhaps you see yourself relaxing in a garden oasis, on a beautiful beach, at a lakeside retreat, or in a tranquil meadow. Wherever your mind takes you, allow this moment of relaxation to be a time just for you, free of all distraction. Imagine how your peaceful setting looks, sounds, feels, smells, and tastes. Let it carry you to a place of safety and calm. You may also wish to call upon other desired feelings, like a stronger sense of confidence or motivation. Stay in this moment until your body and mind release itself from any remaining tension.
