Social Anxiety Treatment: Controlling Panic Attacks in Social Situations
Last time we talked about gratitude, and I wanted to continue that conversation and how it relates to social anxiety treatment. Lets continue with the exercise:
…..Some days, you might not feel the same way about some things as you do about others. If you don’t get the glow from thinking of your children, that’s okay, some days you might not. Focus instead on something else that makes you feel gratitude. You’re after the feeling in your chest. When you have this feeling, it offers you an unmistakable lightening of your emotional state. You should feel your mood lighten immediately. You should do this exercise alone so that you will be better able to focus and let the feeling last as long as you can. Keep going until you feel you can’t keep it going any more.
This can take as much or as little time as you like. You don’t have to put a time frame on it. It’s not about how long it takes, but how well you establish the connection between your heart and your mind so that you can be more able to rid your mind of the anxiety that plagues it.
When you know how to do this well, you should make sure to practice it daily. You can do it in the car (don’t close your eyes), at your desk, before you go to bed, or whenever you feel that you need a release of social anxiety. With more practice, your heart will get used to feeling this way and be able to feel this way within moments after some time.
The more you learn to do this exercise, the easier you will find it is to use it whenever you’re feeling stressful and anxious. When you take a couple of seconds to get the grateful feeling, you’ll begin to surprise yourself by the shift in your stress levels and the reactions of people around you. By taking a couple of seconds to perform this exercise it can completely change the outcome of interactions in stressful situations. You should especially practice this exercise before you walk into a social situation, or a conflict or misunderstanding between yourself and others. Give it a try, but don’t give up if it doesn’t work for you right away. Try it every day for two weeks and see if you notice a change in your ability of controlling panic attacks.
Hopefully you agree that this exercise is something that can be a worthwhile addition to your daily routine. By making this one simple lifestyle change, you will likely find that you make improvements on your quality of life. So take a moment to enjoy a free, simple gift in your life and see if you notice a change.
If it doesn’t work, you’ve lost nothing and if it does work, you’ve managed to gain a little bit of peace and well being in your ability to cope with social anxiety.
