Anxiety can be overwhelming and stressing but you shouldn't let it ruin your holiday, those are my favourites mechanisms to deal with anxiety and they help me a lot when I feel anxious:
1st there is the breathing exercise : Close your eyes and start counting your breath, focus on nothing but your breath , it will calm you down. 2nd there is the grounding technique it works on the 5 senses, so when you feel anxious look around you, Name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things that you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. 3rd method is repeating a mantra it can be very simple like saying " I'm okay" or it can be more complicated like repeating a specific poem or a song. 4th is also another brething exercise , fill the air up your tummy, not your chest, 4 seconds in, hold for 3, and slowly out for 6 do it 20 times minimum. 5th 6th 7th and 8th are long term methods like exercising at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes , eating balanced diet, avoiding alcohol and sleep for 9 hours daily
9th Chewing gum, it reduces anxiety Holding breath. 10th Aroma Therapy , clears Head, 11th drinking Calming Herbal Tea as it clears Head
I hope this help, have a nice holiday !
