When you’re looking for an anxiety attack cure, one of the best things you can do is learn how to start and keep new habits. The only way to improve your quality of life in any area, anxiety and panic included, is to make changes to the way you live, and making and keeping new habits is vital in achieving that.

But starting habits is very hard, and sticking to them for the long haul is even harder. The good news is, though, there are some simple things you can do to give yourself a much better chance of sticking to the new habits you create for yourself.

Here’s a quick 3 step plan for you to follow, to guarantee yourself the best chance of not slipping up with your new habits.

1. First, make a list of all the things you know you could change about your life that could play an important part in your own anxiety attack cure. Now pick the one from that list that you think could make the biggest difference. It’s much easier to stick to one new habit at a time, so this is why you’ll focus on just one for now.

2. Next, get yourself a calendar or a journal, and mark the next 21 days with something that will remind you of your new habit that you’d like to stick to.

3. Now, each day for the next 3 weeks, use every bit of your will power to stick to your chosen habit each day. Each day that you do, check that day off in your calendar or journal.

When you begin doing something new in your life, you will naturally start off by resisting it, as most people do with all forms of change. This resistance increases every day for about a week or a week and a half.

But then the resistance begins to fade, and by the end of the third week you’ll be in a place where the habit will become a part of your daily routine. That’s why it’s so important to use a journal or calendar, to countdown those 21 days. Once you reach that point the habit will be far more likely to stick, and far more likely to become an important piece of your very own anxiety attack cure.
