   On the spot?
   Deep breathing and positive visualization.

   For long-term care:
   Here are some good ideas:
   1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
   2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
   3. Avoid eating corn, sugar, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
   4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
   5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
   6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
   7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
   8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

   Tone up the muscles:

   1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
   2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
   3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
   4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike
   5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
   6. Join the local YMCA.
   7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.
   In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.
   8. Crunches & Curl ups for the abs.

   Mental Health:

   1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
   2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
   3. Learn how to meditate.
   4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
   5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
   6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
   7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
   8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
   9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
   10. If the above suggestions don’t improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication or check out some natural herbal remedies like St. John’s Wort.
   11. Check out the book FEELING GOOD by David Burns.

   Xanax and prayer.

   If you don’t want to take medication and/or you don’t believe in God, trying removing yourself from the situation that has caused you anxiety. If you are with company for example, simply excuse yourself to use the restroom. If there’s a friend or a family member who knows about your panic attacks, you might want to try calling them when you experience one. They can talk you through it or just completely distract you from it.
