How can I calm down when anxiety hits in a situation?

The first thing to do is breath. Especially in these situations, breathing and getting oxygen to the brain is the most important. Another is to leave the place that the situation is causing you to have anxiety and walk around and breath.

When anxiety hits, there's many ways to calm down,grounding techniques, distractions, repetitive motions or chants. Music and self consolations. The best method is the one that you find works for you. I use grounding techniques like, "I'll look for everything in the room that is blue(or another color or specific shape)" or I'll also say my alphabet backwards to distract myself. Focusing on soothing breathing. Meditation.

In my experience the best way to calm yourself down whilst having an aniexty attack is to focus mostly on your breathing. If you can focus your mind to breathing deeply then aniexty symptoms should suppress. Meditation is also another really great thing someone can do to help them take their mind of things and calm themselves down. Practicising meditation everyday for even just 20 minutes a day can really be a fantastic preventative towards aniexty.

What works for me is to focus on my breathing, trying to inhale and exhale slowly. To have something warm between my hands helps me calm down so maybe it could help someone else too! It also helps to remember that can be controlled, as if it were a superpower. It takes time but one can learn how to manage it, breathing in slowly, and remembering that whatever were feeling anxious about won't harm us for we"re strong and capable of doing anything we set out minds to

Hi there! I am personally a really big fan of poetry, so I find that it helps to close my eyes, take deep breaths, and recite my favourite poem. Hope this helps :)

My first step is usually to try to take a step back, be it physically by leaving the situation briefly or just mentally. This can include just focusing on breathing for 1 minute, and trying my best to just acknowledge my anxious thoughts before letting them go. Realise that they are just thoughts and might not be an accurate representation of the situation I'm in.

The trick is to be able to access your breath. If you can take a full breath, and access the same calm, slow respiration rate that you achieve in a meditation or during sleep, you can access your emotions and stay centered.

Using a breathing technique. Breathe in through your nose for five seconds, hold for two seconds, and release through your mouth for five seconds. Repeat this until you feel calm enough to evaluate the situation causing you anxiety.

I try pretend I have two voices in my head. One is getting really anxious and the other one is strong. The strong one tells the other that we can't do this right now, and will have to deal with why we are anxious later. Plus deep breathing/ the centered feeling that you get when meditating.

Focus on your breathing and remind yourself that you're safe and loved. If you have a fidget or something important to you like a necklace or other object, play with it and use it to ground you.
