Causes of Anxiety Attacks - Controlling Them So They Don"t Control You
The main cause of an anxiety attack can be about anything.
In life, we can't control what goes on around us.
In reality, it is not always wise to try to control how we react to what goes on around us.
Actually, no matter what some, supposedly, brilliant people tell us, we cannot be expected to control our emotions at all times.
So, since it is not normal and really not emotionally healthy to control ourselves at all times, how can we be expected to deal with the causes of anxiety attacks? In this article, we will answer this question.
For most of us, not being under control is not too much of an issue.
The bigger problem we have is trying too hard to control ourselves.
This doesn't mean it is right to act like an idiot when we're driving our cars or to show anger over little annoying disturbances, it simply means 100% control is impossible.
Therefore, we should not strive for it.
Doing the Impossible Most of us realize, it is impossible to control things that go on around us.
Still, we try to anyway.
Of course, this is a very frustrating simply because we are trying to do the impossible.
In other words, if we are in a traffic jam, there is little we can do to help the situation.
After all, we can only drive our cars; we can't drive everyone else's.
Also, when it comes to political events, there is very little we can do.
We have our beliefs and perhaps, we could help a few other people to understand why we see things the way we do.
However, we can't change everyone all at once.
The problem is, many people try to do just that.
The Past Can't Be Changed No matter what problem we have, we cannot change the circumstance that brought this problem on.
Anything that happened in the past, we simply can do nothing about.
The best we can do is deal with the problem right now and we may be able to deal with this problem effectively.
Then again, we may not be able to deal with it effectively.
We must understand this.
Take Baby Steps In short, the cause of most anxiety attacks is our insistence on doing the impossible.
One who successfully deals with all of life's trials is one who has the ability to take baby steps through life.
Much more can be achieved by doing things we are absolutely certain we can do.
However, we are an emotional mess-in-the-making when we try to do everything at once, or try to do more than a human is capable of doing.
Having lofty goals and high aspirations in life is noble, but lofty goals and high aspirations lead to frustration and anxiety.
Always set goals you can meet.
After you reach this goal, you can set another one that is at a higher level.
By continuing to do this, you can reach any goal without the anxiety attacks that come from trying to do too much.
