Unfortunately I am a natural worrier; I over analyse most
situations, I plan trips away pretty extensively and usually have contingency plans
just in case things go wrong. These characteristics automatically lend to being
more susceptible to panic/anxiety attacks and I am just so lucky to be a
sufferer of these (note the sarcasm there).
Panic attacks do not come at convenient times and everyone
is different in how they deal with them. For me one of the best things to do is to
hum or sing to myself the famous ‘Favourite Things’ song from The Sound of
Music. I’m not sure when I started doing it or why but it tends to calm me down
on most occasions; I’m guessing through a mixture of distraction and the rhythm
of the song calms my fast heart beat. It’s not really about the lyrics of the
song although these are pretty chirpy.
There are two songs that I love listening to whenever I am
feeling concerned or anxious and that however is because of their lyrics. One is
Labrinth’s Let The Sun Shine and the other is Onerepublic’s Good Life.
Good Life reminds me to make the most of everyday and that
even when I’m frightened, terrified or just a little uneasy about the future and
what’s to come as long as I do my best and put effort into all I do then that’s
all I can do and what will be will be.
Remember to live each day to the full and appreciate all you
have.
