All you need to do is relax and breathe. Think about where you are, what colors you see, anything that eases your mind off of your panic attack.

That can be difficult. There is no one answer fits all. Everybody is different. You could try to come up with ways or make a list of ways that calm you for the next time that situation occurs. If you feel that your way isn't working, perhaps involving a counselor or therapist can help give you the coping skills that you need.

Allow yourself to come up with a plan for what to do if it does happen. Panic attacks rarely come when someone is expecting them or wants them to come along. Make a plan for a way to excuse yourself and a safe place to go - no matter if it's a room to yourself, your car, or if it comes down to it, something even as small as a bathroom stall. Allow yourself to go and try to remain calm until the storm passes. Then proceed about your day as you had already planned. If you have a plan, the odds of the panic attack happening are likely much less.

I stop thinking by taking a walk or hike into the mountain, knowing the only thing I have to worry about out there is myself. My family isn’t there with me and my schoolwork, and I just look around at the nature. Happy at what I see I will occasionally walk off the trail, watching my way as I go before I emerge to some unseen beauty. Nature is a beautiful place in which can help people prevent panic attacks. Along with something as simple as this app helping you vent what needs to be expelled to the world at large!

being conscious, stay aware we are the only ones to control our own mind and also what we do, keep in mind that everything happens and its all neutral, we choose how to take it, from things said to us to events happening in our life on daily basis, like on rainy days we choose to get mad over getting wet or we see the possibility to use our umbrella and not let anything "ruin" our day, by being conscious we are aware of what we are thinking, what we are doing and also how is it that we will move forward on any situation
