Write or do triangle breathing.
@Cloudysky44 triangle breathing?
One thing that keeps me calm is deep breathing and counting at the same time, counting off with each exhalation. It really gets my heartbeat under control which keeps me from panicking.
Repeat this mantra in my head:
listen to music, drink water, ride my bike, dance/sing, etc.
Sometimes I listen to Blank & Jones...when i was traveling a lot I would listen to their songs "Healin' Feelin', and "A Drop of Rain" to calm me in hotel rooms so i could fall asleep. Sometimes i listen to "falling rain" sounds or the sound of safari animals or other nature sounds.
One thing I do to stay calm is go for a walk with my dog.
Things That Help Distract Me?
I like to draw or listen to classical piano music. Even both sometimes
Meditate, take a bath, listen to soothing music or sounds & nap.
I do what I love doing. Which is listening to music and doing art. I often find myself painting while listening to music and drinking tea.
