How To Eliminate Severe Anxiety

Severe anxiety has the power to produce a number of negative mental and physical symptoms that can range from moderate to extreme.  If you've ever experienced shortness of breath, heart palpatations, trembling, dizziness, nausea, or all of the above you may be suffering from severe anxiety.  The same would apply if you've ever felt like you were going to die or felt as though you were losing control of your life.
If left untreated, anxiety and panic can escalate and become crippling, leaving you with the feeling that you have nowhere left to turn.  The good news is that this doesn't have to happen to you or anyone you love.  The feelings of embarrassment and shame can be a thing of the past.  Panic and anxiety can be left behind and a normal or better life can become reality.
This article reveals three little talked about methods that can be implemented anytime and anyplace to eliminate severe anxiety and prevent panic attacks.
Method #1- Stop avoiding the situations, objects, or challenges that cause your anxiety and panic.  Avoiding something that you do not like does not eliminate it.  In fact, avoidant behaviors will cause you to waste a lot of time and energy worrying about the possibility of having to confront those situations.  It also allows your pattern of anxiety to continue and worsen by training your mind that avoidance is correct.  In order to eliminate your severe anxiety, you need to confront those situations you fear as if they are challenges to be conquered.  Do this in small steps if necessary, but do it consistently.
Method #2- Change the messages you consistently communicate to yourself.  Whether you realize it or not, we all talk to ourselves on a consistent basis.  In our heads, with the thoughts we think, or out loud with the words we say.  Sometimes it's so subtle that we don't realize it's going on.  These thoughts and spoken words are either  positive or negative.  If you want to control or eliminate your anxiety, start paying attention to the way you talk to yourself.  Pay special attention to the questions you ask yourself (ex. "Why am I so afraid, How could I be so weak, Am I dying?").  Make a consistent effort to eliminate negative self talk and questions and replace them with positive affirmations.
Method #3- Step back and observe your life.  Whenever possible, eliminate unnecessary stress.  We often get so caught up in the daily grind of our lives that we do not realize there are unnecessary stressors that could easily be gotten rid of.  Anxiety conditions appear as a result of cumulative stress over time.  The little things that we do or neglect to do can greatly impact our stress levels and therefore our anxiety.  For example, think about your finances.  Do you set a monthly budget and stick to it?  Or do you live paycheck to paycheck?  It's quite possible that you fall somewhere in between, but the important thing to note is that not having a plan for your money can be quite stressful.  The discipline of time management or lack thereof is another example.  Think about your daily habits and activities.  Are they increasing or reducing your levels of stress?
