This is episode 1,740.

Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley, and I honor you for giving your self permission to slow down and connect to the very best part of who you are.

That's the part you tap into when you settle yourself down and meditate.

In today's episode we continue along with our theme this week. Our

theme is all about managing the most kind of mental condition, and that is anxiety. Part of your mental wellness has to do with managing anxiety and anxiety is a pretty common condition.

In fact, most people experience some kind of anxiety at some point in their life.

In today's episode, you are going to discover an affirmation to help you manage anxiety.

And an affirmation can be a powerful and effective way

to help you manage anxiety if you are in the midst of a panic attack.

According to Dr Eileen Strauss-Cohen, who wrote an article titled Ten Simple Tactics to Manage Anxiety and Panic Attacks. She mentions that when an attack hits it can make you feel like you are going crazy.

You may have absolutely no control over your mind.

And you can't seem to find a way to relax can feel as though

you are having an out-of-body experience or like you've abandoned yourself in the moments of your attack. And you can't just wish away the attack.

And in order to help you manage yourself during the attack, it can be helpful to mentally repeat an affirmation such as

the one I'll share with you to do in your own meditation today and to self-sooth. Just as you would be with a loved one or a good friend in their pain and their time of greatest need, you could be with yourself and you could be with

yourself and you could talk to yourself, affirming that you're going through an anxiety attack and although you may not be able to stop it right

now you will be fine when it's over and it will be over and when it is over and when it is

over you will allow yourself some time to be peaceful and calm after all you are going through.

And you can notice where you are experiencing the attack the most in your body.

So observe yourself as if you were gathering information to help yourself, which is what you are doing.

And this will help take the edge off the fear associated with panic attacks.
