Quotes That Will Help You To Control Your Stress

International Panic Day is observed on June 18 to bring awareness about panic and help people to have better control of their stressful day-to-day situations.

A panic attack is a kind of fear response that sums up a person’s reaction to danger, stress, or excitement.

Panic attacks happen due to different reasons for different people. Certain places, situations, or activities seem to trigger panic attacks for some people.

Although getting stressed is quite common, it can be detrimental to health. Studies have found that having a stress-free life will reduce the chances of illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.

The first step in controlling panic is to accept the fact that it is normal to get overwhelmed or stressed. A few simple steps like focusing on your breathing, tasting mint-flavored sweets or gum, and touching or cuddling something soft will help a person to calm down during a panic attack.
