There is nothing more frustrating than having conflicting thoughts that serve to undermine your confidence.  Just when you were really feeling good, something comes along, usually a negative thought, and knocks you back down to vulnerable again and, oh look, here comes anxiety too.  Next thing you know, confidence moves out and in comes obsession about the way you feel.  When you are recovering, this is natural to feel this way and if you’ve had a setback lately, you should know that there are lots of natural remedies for anxiety and combined with other techniques, I can show you how to deal with your setbacks and a lot of tips for panic attacks.

Number one:  Setbacks happen.  You should never let a setback convince you that you aren’t making progress.  Think of it like a diet; just because you eat cake one day, that doesn’t mean that you are going to gain all the weight you’ve lost and it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go right back on your diet to make even more progress.  Setbacks are inevitable and you should accept them.

Number two:  Part of your healing is learning to deal with your setbacks.  In order to get past all the anxiousness that you feel, you have to work with your protective side and show it that there really isn’t anything to fear.  When you find yourself dealing with a setback, it means that you are now ready to take your new understanding and put it to work with your protective side that is resisting the change.

Think of your protective side as an older sister who doesn’t want you to do anything that might cause you to get hurt.  Whether it’s emotional risk or physical risk, the fear that your protective side has is often too much for it to handle and it will constantly worry at you unless you talk to it and reassure it that you will be fine and that in order to full fix your anxiety issues, you have to deal with them.  Use keywords like freedom and happiness when talking to your protective side to reaffirm the good that will come of your risk taking.  Stopping panic attacks is a process of emotional control and learning a new way to react to the fear, something to take the panic attacks place, something much less upsetting than a panic attack.
