Find what calms you down. I deal with anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis. I've realized that it calms me down if I read a book, or lay down in my room by myself. If you focus on something other than the anxiety, it's sure to go away.

You can feel relaxed during an anxiety attack and get re-focused back on work by trying to calm down, and thinking about time. Look at the surroundings, and note that the attack will be over in a couple few minutes, even though it will feel like hours. Talk to a close friend after work.

I listen to my favorite music, doodle artworks and write about my thoughts and feelings so I can let it out a bit. It's therapeutic I might say,

I have two super helpful ways. 1. Wear a rubber band around your wrist and whenever you get an anxiety attack snap it to remind yourself to snap out of it 2. Breathe deeply to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6 to relax and oxygenate your brain

Try to take deep slow breaths. Inhale for a count of 4 seconds, hold that breath for 2 seconds, then exhale for 4 seconds.

Something that I have found that really helps me is to write about what is causing my anxiety. I have a notebook where I write about my problems/situations. Just putting the words on paper helps me to get the thoughts out of my head. Usually, I realize that worried for nothing and I am able to refocus on the task at hand.

Just take some deep breaths, and maybe close your eyes for a minute or two and try to focus on where you are.

Focus on things that calm you down and take deep breathes. Count 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.
