    • Temperature (hot/cold exposure)
    • Getting heart rate up
  • Focus Direction:
    • Avoiding negative focus (traffic, wrongs)
    • Cultivating gratitude
    • Concentrating on reliable positives
  • Language/Internal Story:
    • Quality of results links to quality of decisions
    • Decisions stem from internal dialogue
    • Internal monologue shapes ultimate outcomes

• Practical Application for Panic Attacks:

  • Physical intervention (cold water) more effective than mental reasoning
  • Chemical changes through medicine as one approach
  • Thinking alone isn't sufficient for emotional change
