Do you feel like anxious thoughts sometimes take over your mind, making you feel anxious or helpless? If it comes in the form of an attack or happens too often, it’s best to see a doctor. However, if it’s just mild anxiety, perhaps due to a recent life event, try using these calming techniques.
One of the simplest things you can do is to focus your attention on your breathing. Breathe deeply and slowly and you will find your overwhelming whirlwind of thoughts gradually becoming quieter, while your calmness is restored. Your heart rate will also slow down and return to normal.
