“Imagine entering the event and purposely let your anticipation generate some anxiety and doubt. As you notice your anxiety, practice accepting and wanting those feelings. “OK, I’m imagining myself standing in line at the bank, and now I’m anxious. Really anxious! Yikes, this is scary! But…good. I want this. Right this second I am practicing. This counts!” Linger with your anxiety. Don’t be in a rush to escape the feeling. Hang out with your distress. Give your body-&-mind time to respond to your message of, “I can handle this anxiety, and I want this.”
R. Reid Wilson, Don't Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks

“If you remain fearfully convinced that you have a physical ailment, even when there is a consensus to the contrary among the professionals who have evaluated you, then you can be certain of one thing: your fear is directly contributing to your panic episodes.”
R. Reid Wilson, Don't Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks

“The unconscious is ninety-nine percent brilliant in its ability to constantly direct the body toward health.”
R. Reid Wilson, Don't Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks
