TARGET PANIC

FOUR STEPS TO CONTROL

To start to control the problem you need to take four steps:

1.      You must recognise that you have the problem in the first place. I have probably suffered for something like 15 years, but it is only in the last year or so that I have finally accepted this fact, and started to do something useful about it.

2.      You must understand that it is a mental problem and no physical, technical or mechanical fix will solve it.  This is a big step – in fact the main obstacle - and few people ever get past it..

3.      You must learn how to set realistic goals for yourself, and use them effectively.  This is what deals with the fear.

4.      Most important of all, you must learn how to concentrate while keeping your mind relaxed.  This is what allows you to put your technique into practice.  If your mind is anxious and up-tight, however well you know what to do, you won’t be able to do it.
