Anxiety, or panic attacks can affect your job and your life. While it may be difficult to admit, but its important to get help. Your body will pay an emotional and physical toll if you do not get help in trying to deal with and subdue anxiety attacks.

Many people have found an effective method, called the 30 second method, for dealing with anxiety. Using this strategy, you allow yourself to feel the anxiety for 30 seconds. Many people that suffer from panic attacks have the additional fear that they will suffer permanent damage to their bodies, which causes further incapacitation.

So, should you begin to experience an anxiety attack, just give it 30 seconds to do its best to you. Thing your heart will fail? Just let it go for thirty seconds. Passing out - give it 30 seconds to do its best to you. By waiting 30 seconds, you are relaxing your body and giving the anxiety attack time to run its course.

Slowly count backwards from 30. This will give the anxiety attack enough time to pass on its own. Now you may be wondering why this method works, most of the time. How? It gives you power over your panic attack. You control the situation, and you set the boundaries.

As a result, instead of feeling like a victim, you are empowered. Its important to remember not to count to quickly. Even it it goes more than 30 seconds, take your time and stay focused. Just countdown backwards slowly. With a little practice you will come to realize that you can survive these panic attacks. Although it may feel like it, your heart will not burst and you will not pass out. You will be OK.

Over time you will find that you can gain control over the attack and yourself. There are people that use breathing exercises that are similar to those pregnant women use while in labor, to help them ease through their attack, but this doesn't control them, it only helps to manage the attack. In contrast, by counting backwards from 30, you gain control and eventually can stop these attacks altogether.

You need to seek treatment and face your panic and anxiety attacks head on.
