The Triggers of Panic and Anxiety Disorder
If you want to learn about the triggers of panic and anxiety disorders, then this article was written for you. Specifically, we're going to talk about how anxiety disorders can be heredity, why believing in "flawed" thoughts can make it worse, and why being "passive" can make it harder to overcome anxiety. By the time you have finished reading this article, you'll know much more about the triggers of anxiety, and how you can ultimately overcome them. Let's start by talking about the heredity nature of anxiety. Some studies have actually shown that anxiety can be passed on heredity. This means that some people are more predisposed to have it than others. However, this does not mean you can't overcome anxiety. Now let's look at one of the primary things which keeps anxiety going. Specifically, I'm talking about believing in "flawed" thoughts. You see, anxiety is always created in the future, by thinking about something that hasn't happened yet (or may not happen at all). Learning to catch these thought triggers before they create a panic attack is a key step to overcoming anxiety for good, and not letting it run your life. When you notice these thoughts, try to stop and analyze them. Why are you thinking this thought? Would your thinking process make a good argument in a court of law? Or are you "predicting" events that may or may not happen? Learning to ask the right questions to challenge your current thinking process is useful for undermining your anxiety. Finally, one of the most common traits found in people who suffer from anxiety, is that they tend to be "passive" around other people. This means they tend to lack assertiveness with others. While it's a good trait to be polite and respectful of other people, it's easy to go to far - and value other people's opinions of you higher than you regard your own opinion. This is a perfect recipe for creating anxiety. Remember, what you think about yourself is far more important than what others think (or what you think they may be thinking!)
