Panic attacks are not a sudden mind state which hits you with no warning. The signs are there in your body but you need to recognise these triggers. Anxiety attacks normally hit 10 minutes after your body has began to tell you. The average panic attack lasts around half an hour. But during this time, you can lose control of himself and show symptoms listed above. Below is a few simple steps to enable you to cope with this naturally rather than the use of drugs, these are effective ways to get you on the right track and right frame of mind

Relaxation is key It is impossible to relax when in the intense state of a panic attack, especially when someone keeps telling you to. It irritates and can prolong the time of the attack, but it is crucial to not let your emotions take hold, for your fear and panic will make your mind feel there is no way out. There are tips and techniques available to help you read the signs before the attack takes hold. Therefore relaxing and concentrating on your breathing will help by diverting your attention from the attack. You need to take time everyday to practice deep breathing even when your not stressed or feeling panicky.

Strength of positivity An anxiety attack is a mind state and not an illness, you are in control of your own mind. A life changing event can bring on the first panic attack and it is often impossible to relax or even calm yourself since that point in your life, but you are in control. Daily positive thoughts instead of negative ones and worrying about situations which have not happened will not help. Anticipating something terrible is not reality. The more negative you are, the more anxious and panicky you will be!
