It is alarming how doctors prescribe pills these days.
It seems like there is a pill for virtually anything you can think of.
What's even more alarming is how pills are being prescribed for mental conditions like anxiety.
Messing with your own brain chemistry is a sure fir way to screw things up even further.
If you are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, there's a much more powerful understanding that can help you become free.
The very first thing you need to understand about anxiety and panic attacks is that it exists only in your mind.
It is a way of thinking that's become ingrained in your mind to the point where it feels real.
The power of belief is immense.
Whether you believe something is real or whether you believe something is unreal, either way you will be right.
Anxiety is nothing but a belief or a series of beliefs that brought about by your habitual thoughts.
When you change your thoughts, you change your beliefs and you change your entire perception of life.
Dr.
Wayne Dyer recently wrote a book based on the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, called Change Your Thought, Change Your Life.
The premise of the book is that when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
This profound understanding can help you cure anxiety faster than any medication out there.
In fact, in the end it is the only way you can cure anxiety.
So how can you start using this new way of looking at things? Well, it's often easier said than done but the way you change your thoughts is to open yourself up to new thoughts and new understandings.
By becoming aware of your erroneous thinking you can start to change it.
Understanding that your fearful and anxious thoughts are nothing but self created thoughts you can start to change it.
Practice awareness.
Try to catch yourself when you have any thought of fear and ask yourself: "Is this really true?" That one question is often enough to bring things back in perspective.
Ingrain it on your mind that when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at changes.
Change the way you look at anything you are fearful about in your life.
Try and look at it from a different perspective.
Try and look at it through someone else's eyes and try all you can to expose these lies you are telling yourself.
In the end you are the only one that can cure anxiety in your life.
Yes, pills and drugs can numb you from feeling anything but if you want to be free you have to change your thoughts to change your life.
