My second tip for stoping a panic attack instantly is to write poetry. Creative journalism has been used for centuries to channel energy from negative to positive. From Janis Joplin, Journey, Good Charlotte, to Eminem, music, songs, and poems have a language of love, passion, and release that can stop a panic attack in its tracks.

From learning about your personal triggers, you can be kinder to yourself and she your feelings genuinely with others.
Stop A Panic Attack #3: Get Outside In Nature
Third, to stop a panic attack, get outside. Panic attacks occur because your mind becomes in “tunnel vision,” or it gets fixated.
