Breathing is very powerful. Try to focus on deep belly breathing, put your entire focus on controlling your breathing and when the thoughts try to go back to why you should panick, redirect them back to deep belly breathing for several minutes until you feel better. Takes focus but is powerful!

Stop. Breath. Focus. Take time to consider what has triggered the attack. Remind yourself that this too shall pass. Whatever is happening is not permanent and you will survive this. The world may seem like it's crashing down, but if you recognize what is happening and accept it you can move forward. Find a way to focus. Make sure you a breathing. Find five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can smell, two you can touch and one you can taste.

Concentrating on your breathing is the best way to start when you are felling anxiety or having an attack. Mindfulness exercises and meditation does wonders. Breathe in slowly through your nose and into your belly.This sends a soothing signal to your brain. Then exhale slowly through your mouth. This will help calm you. Focus on your breathing and nothing else.

Anxiety attacks can't necessarily be stopped, but by being aware of your surroundings and your emotions you can attempt to remove yourself from an anxiety-inducing situation before an anxiety attack occurs. Medication is also an option.

By identifying the trigger that causes anxiety and taking control of it, for example if any of the habit of your loved ones causes anxiety among you, you should communicate it with him rather than suppres it.

In my experience, sometimes it's best to identify what is causing the attack. For example, are you feeling overwhelmed by a crowd? Sometimes you need to step away for a moment, get a breath of fresh air, focus on your breathing. Telling a close friend who understands can also help soothe you. Remember to focus on that the feeling with pass, and don't blame yourself for these feelings.

The best way to stop an anxiety attack is to try and get out of the situation. Find a space apart where you can wait a little bit. Hopefully it will subside. If it doesn't, it's perfectly ok to ask for help. One thing that seems to work for me is counting multiples 12, since it's my lucky number.

Meditate It is important to release the tension in your body. So focus on that tension (especially in the belly). Act normal and call a friend or play some music Try to stay calm and grab your phone if that is possible. Do something that can keep your mind off of your negative thoughts. If you can't use your phone then leave the room for a few minutes. If you're in an airplane then go to the toilet for example. Go back to the cause of anxiety Usually the cause is not as heavy as you might think. Be honest to yourself while you think deeply about the cause. You don't have to do this alone. In fact, it is better to do this with someone else. Maybe with family or a good friend or perhaps you could talk with a professional. Maybe you need to change your lifestyle. Whatever it is, try not to be afraid of it (the cause). As long as you're not avoiding it, it will get better and better.
