Natural Remedies for Anxiety: Get Tips for Panic Attacks- Part 1 of 4
Have you ever wondered why, despite your greatest efforts, you wind up having setbacks when trying to tackle your anxiety problems? These can be frustrating but are completely normal. Setbacks are your personality’s way of protecting you. When you start to face your anxiety and situations that make you uncomfortable, your protective side decides to step in. This is the side that wants you to leave well enough alone and just don’t mess with it. The protective side of your personality isn’t a risk taker, and is much more comfortable when you’re not in situations that increase your anxiousness. This is the part of you that says, we’re staying where we are safe today.
The protective side of your personality isn’t bad. It is trying to pay attention to your best interests, but you know that a life in a bubble, away from anything bad, also means that you’re away from everything good. Nobody can be truly happy this way. When you start working toward healing yourself, it’s a whole new experience and some days it will feel like you’re getting ready to head into unknown territory. It’s scary, but you will very quickly gain control of the parts of your life that are problematic for you.
As you begin to take your life back, your protective side sits back and watches everything suspiciously. At first, it’s not a big deal, because even your protective side knows that you are not threatened. However, when you begin to make bigger and bigger progressive steps, your protective side really gets going. You’re doing so much; it rationalizes, that you must be setting yourself up for a fall. The better you do, the more protective your other side gets. You’re getting brave; your protective side is slamming on the brakes. This conflict within yourself will create feelings of anxiety that are very intense and can feel like panic attacks.
For a week you’ve been doing really great, but suddenly, here’s your protective side saying, good, we don’t have to worry about being dizzy, that’s good, but what about your ringing ear? Can we worry about that because I think that’s a problem? You need to get worried now. It’s also the same side that will tell you that even though you haven’t had a panic attack in a week, there is a huge one waiting just around the corner for you. This can be scary and send you searching for tips for panic attacks, but if you truly want to heal, you need to deal with this, because the truth is that there is no pill that will make your anxiety really go away. There is no natural remedy for your anxiety that will just take it all away. The real cures for anxiety is to deal with it on a personal level.
