			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, you know how they can affect 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.</p>
<p>One of the methods many people have used to help deal with their anxiety is called the 30 second method. Basically, you allow yourself to experience the panic or anxiety attack 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.</p>
<p>At the onset of a panic attack, you go with it for 30 seconds. If you think that your heart will burst then it will within that time frame.  You will want to give your anxiety attack 30 seconds to do its best to you. You probably understand the idea by now, so just keep in mind that if you feel an anxiety attack about to happen, just let it happen, only giving it 30 seconds to do what it wants to you.</p>
<p>Start counting backwards from 30, slowly, and give it enough time to pass.  Now you may be wondering why this method works, most of the time.  The main thing is the control that you have over the situation, which helps you oppose the anxiety attack, as you are in control of the attack, and setting the limits within which the attack can happen.</p>
<p>This method puts you in the drivers seat, rather than being a victim of the attack. Also, do not rush when counting, as you may be tempted to do.  Even it it goes more than 30 seconds, take your time and stay focused. Just countdown backwards slowly.  With this type of method the more you practice it you will soon discover that your heart will not explode, you will not die, and the attack is only a physical sensation and does not cause physical harm. </p>
<p>As time goes by, you will find that you achieve better control over the panic attack, as well as your own actions. 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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>You need to seek treatment and face your panic and anxiety attacks head on.</p>
