Racing heart, nausea, upset stomach, and tremors are just a few things you can experience during an anxiety attack. In this article I will list some techniques you can use to CALM YOURSELF DOWN!!!!

[edit] Steps

1. One of the most effective methods used is deep breathing. The following exercise will physically, and mentally calm you.
2.Start out by breathing through your nose for a slow 3 count
3.Than hold your breath for a slow 3 count
4 And than exhale for a slow 3 count. You can do this as long as you want. It really helps.
1. The next thing you can do is something called stop and replace.The purpose of this is to stop the anxious thought and replace it with a more calming thought.
2. EX: I am anxious about going in front of the class to present my project. (so i keep thinking about it and it just makes me more anxious)
3.STOP!! that thought and replace it with a thought such as thinking of something exciting you are going to do this weekend like go on a family trip, and just really lose yourself in the thought and take your mind away from the current anxious thought.
