Love Letter #11: Listen to this if you're having a panic attack

Dear Kind Human Being,

Happy Friday! Thank you for your patience as I upload this week’s love letter 2 days late. It is a 3-day work week here in Australia (due to the public holidays), so my work days were very cramped, and I felt too exhausted to create an episode. Butttt today is a public holiday, I finally had the time and energy to create this:)

Today’s love letter is inspired by a few days ago, when I felt a panic attack coming during a run, but was able to self-soothe before it became a full-blown attack. This was a HUGE milestone for me, and so I wanted to share the techniques that worked for me with you guys <3

In this love letter, we:

🌟 Clench our muscles to reset our nervous system

🌟 Practice mindfulness with our surroundings

🌟 Breathe correctly to calm our body and mind

🌟 Shift our perspective on how we view panic attacks

I hope you enjoy the calming music + rain sounds playing in the background as I speak.

Here is some music to help you feel calm:

(This is where the calming background music and my podcast jingle come from^^)

I also recommend these apps for meditation and relaxing music:

🌱 Calm: https://www.calm.com/

🌱 Headspace: https://www.headspace.com/

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead <3

Love,

Your Favourite Scientist
