Discover How To Control Panic Attacks
People who experience panic attacks report a sudden onset of multiple physical symptoms including:
· Racing Heartbeat
· Dizziness and Light Headedness
· Difficulty Breathing
· Terror and Feeling Paralysed
· Trembling, Shaking and Sweating
· Pins and Needles in Fingers and Toes

Since some of these symptoms are also experienced by people suffering a heart attack, it is a good idea that you seek medical attention the first time these symptoms appear – you might already have done so. If your doctor does not find any evidence of coronary problems, and you experience the symptoms more than very occasionally, you’re probably suffering from a panic disorder. Your GP might offer some helpful advice or prescribe medication but there are better and simpler ways to learn to control panic attacks.

The first rule in overcoming panic attacks is to “relax,” according to according to Alix Needham B.ED Adv Dip E Hyp NLP, who is credited with pioneering the concept of Lifestyle Management over 15 years ago.

“If you feel dizzy, hold on to something to steady yourself, or sit down,” Alix adds. “And then take several slow, deep breaths to increase the flow of oxygen to your blood and heart.”

Many people report that their panic attacks come out of “nowhere.” And although some panic attacks can be related to traumatic life experiences, such as recalling incidents of early child abuse or other emotionally-challenging incidents, many panic attacks occur for no known reason in people whose history is free of traumatic events.

One of the unfortunate side effects of experiencing panic attacks is the feeling that you’re “going crazy.” This erroneous belief stops many people from seeking professional help out of fear that they will be diagnosed with a mental health problem and face the social stigma of admitting that they may have a mental disorder.

All of us get angry. Some of us get angry very often. Some are able to control the anger. Some of us express our anger freely, whereas some suppress it. Why do we get angry? Is there any way to control the anger? How to do that?

We get angry when we are stopped doing something. Or when we don't get our way. We get angry when our desires are not fulfilled, or when people don't agree to our viewpoint. Many times we get angry when we find our views at great variance with others and are not able to understand the other viewpoint and disagree with that.

List your friends. Think about a situation and imagine the reactions. For example, let us say that the situation is this - your friend is sitting in a restaurant and someone spills something hot on his/her hands unintentionally. Now imagine the reactions from your list. You will write reactions that will vary greatly. You will imagine a friend of yours laughing it off and another friend calling the manager and making a big scene. The reactions are different because they are controlling their anger differently. How?

Some of us never take things very seriously. So they don't get angry over small things at all. That is the nature of these people. Can we use any techniques to control anger? Let us examine. Do you react immediately, or think about what went wrong before reacting? Those of us who react spontaneously, get angry fast. Those who think about it before reacting are able to understand and control their emotions better. Why not count up to ten before reacting?

Understanding others viewpoint helps in many situations. As we have our viewpoint, so do others. Why try to enforce our thoughts on them? Why not at least try and understand what they think and why? If your boss is angry with you, you need not react immediately. Give some time and think about all the possible reasons and you may find the answer to his anger. If at the end you realize that his/her anger was totally unjustified, you chose to forgive and not react angrily.

Time management, make to-do lists, use a daily planner, learn to say no to people when you’re busy. These are all items that you’ll read when learning the ins and outs of time management; but what does it really take?

Finish what you start! That may seem easy, but let me tell a little personal story. I was sales rep for a very large territory, I knew my product, I was good with people, and figured I’d be very successful. What I didn’t expect was with this big territory came a lot of phone calls, quotes, and inquiries. Something I wasn’t used to or prepared for I guess.

So I found myself with more work then I was used to. I was starting a quote getting another phone call moving onto something else. Basically putting out fires as they arose. As time went on I found I was always busy but nothing seemed to get done. I was always on the road the phone was ringing off the hook, but I wasn’t closing any deals, and worse I wasn’t making any money. So what did I do?

Simple I started finishing the task I started. When I stated a quote I’d finish it before moving onto the next one. I’d answer the phone if it rang, but I wouldn’t stop and start checking my email, or move onto another quote, or get up from my desk and tour around the office. I’d finish that quote then move on.

So why is this such an important point in regards to time management? Think about your own office life, or personal life. Do you find you’re involved in lots of things but none of them are coming to completion? Or you’ve got lots of stuff on the go but nothing finishing up? We can be busy but accomplishing nothing, and that can be worse then doing nothing at all. Moral of the story, we can make all the lists, plans and prioritizing we want, but finishing what we start is the first step towards accomplishing as much as we can with the time we have.
