Overwhelmed by Panic? Quick Ways to Reclaim Calm

Panic attacks can strike without warning. Your heart races, your thoughts spiral,
and fear takes over. It can feel impossible to stay grounded. The good news is
there are ways to regain control, and one powerful tool is a Rexhale breathing
necklace.
What Happens During a Panic Attack?
A panic attack is your body’s alarm system misfiring. You might experience:
● Rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath
● Trembling or sweating
● Chest tightness
● Dizziness or numbness
● Overwhelming fear or a sense of unreality

These sensations peak quickly and usually fade within 10 to 20 minutes. Panic
attacks are not dangerous, but they can feel terrifying and exhausting.
How to Distract Yourself Fast

1. Slow Your Breath
   Use the 4-7-8 technique: inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8. Slower, deeper breathing
   calms your body and mind.
2. Ground Yourself
   Try the 5-4-3-2-1 method: notice 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you
   hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste. Focusing on your senses anchors you
   in the moment.
3. Use Your Body
   Tense and release muscles or move gently to release tension.
4. Acknowledge the Attack
   Recognize it is happening and remind yourself it will pass. Acceptance helps
   reduce fear.
5. Visualize Calm
   Close your eyes and imagine a safe, peaceful place, like a beach, forest, or cozy
   room.
6. Repeat a Mantra
   Say something grounding like “This will pass” or “I am safe.”
7. Focus or Create
   Pick an object to observe, write in a journal, color, or solve a puzzle to redirect
   your attention.
