To step

Method 1 of 3: Calm your body

1. Breathe slowly. Inhale through your nose for 3 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, then exhale through your nose for 3 seconds.
   • Breathe with your diaphragm (just above the stomach and just below the ribs), not just your chest. This will regulate your body reactions and help you stay calm.
   • Breathing in a paper bag was once thought to help cure hyperventilation and restore rest. Experts now agree that this is a bit dangerous and should be avoided. You should only breathe through a paper bag when you are lightheaded from hyperventilation. Breathing regularly into a paper bag will circulate carbon dioxide in your lungs, which is ultimately dangerous for the respiratory tract. Deep and slow breathing is much better because the oxygen will be completely converted to carbon dioxide by the alveoli, essentially preventing dizziness from hyperventilation.
2. Relax your shoulders. Slowly roll your shoulders back three or four times, using as much range of motion as you can.
3. Shut yourself off. Lie flat on your back and close your eyes. You can listen to soothing music or just enjoy the silence.
   • Imagine every part of your body relaxing with each exhalation. Start with your toes and move up through the muscles in your legs, trunk, arms, and neck. As you breathe in, you visualize them becoming one with the Earth or filling with light. Try to be as quiet as possible.
4. Try a new perspective. Think about the situation from a different angle so that you are less stressed.
   • Pretend your friend is in the same situation and imagine what advice you would give him or her.
   • Ask yourself, "What's the worst that could happen?" This question is a question often used by life echoes to force people to think through its exaggerated effects, which have the likelihood rather than the ability to heal. When you force yourself to assume the worst, you can just work back from there and put things in perspective, as well as make plans to make it happen. worst stop doing the worst.

Method 2 of 3: Distract yourself

1. Walk, bike, roller skate or do whatever you like to do physically to exhaust yourself. This burns the adrenaline you have from being evil.
2. Look for minor physical distractions. Squeeze a stress ball, sponge, or other flexible object at least 50 times in a row. Hug your favorite stone / talisman or rub your thumb on your most important comfort stone. Play air guitar / drums and sound effects. Finding distracting activities that are tangible and focused will help you calm down quickly.
3. Count to ten. Before saying anything inappropriate, close your eyes and count to ten or twenty if necessary. This is a simple and effective way to quickly separate yourself from a stressful situation.
4. Set up a journal. Try to write descriptively about how you feel. This is a good way to confront your feelings, especially if you have a natural inclination to write. When things get disorganized, just keep writing. It is the process of thinking and taking in your feelings that is the most important.
   • A journal is also a good way to reflect on your past. For example, how has your upbringing contributed to your perception of the world around you? Write down everything that is important to you. Your journal will help you connect the dots.
5. Spend time with animals. Dogs and cats can be extremely helpful in stressful times. There's nothing better than a non-judgmental furry friend to hug and talk to. Express your concerns around your pet.
   • If you don't have a pet, a stuffed pet can sometimes be just as helpful. Alternatively, you can visit a zoo, a nature park, an aquarium or a local game reserve. Just seeing animals go about their business can be calming.
6. Immerse yourself in a hobby. Draw or take pictures if you like. Do whatever meets your interests.

Method 3 of 3: Be proactive

1. Stay positive. Cultivating a happy attitude can help you remember the good times and let go of the things you can't control. Remember: you are not here to control everyone and everything in perfect behavior or in perfect operation; you are only here to master your own behavior and reactions.
   • Remind yourself that you are not the only person who has to deal with these issues when something difficult challenges your sense of calm.
2. Avoid stress altogether. Sometimes it's hard to notice when people, thoughts, or events add tension to your life, but the influences are there. Here's how to keep your distance:
   • Try the time you spend with people you excite, especially if you are very sensitive about taking over the emotions and problems of other people around you. If you often need to be around a stressful person, learn to manage the situation - change your response to them.
   • Surround yourself with people who support and respect you. External reassurance strengthens your ability to think about and deal with your concerns.
   • Some people need to withdraw from others more often to rejuvenate (such as introverts, very sensitive people, etc.). Give yourself this space and solitude every day. Socializing too much can be stressful without a break.
3. Try to meditate or pray. Even if you are not religious, you can find great tranquility by deliberately focusing on quieting your consciousness. Find a place where you can be alone and focus on yourself. Thinking about your lifestyle is very calming and allows you to step aside from stressful events to assess them with clarity and subtlety.
4. Become one with nature. The tranquility of the outdoors can help you focus on your priorities and give you room to breathe.
   • Water has a meditative quality that often helps people to calm down. If you live in the city, just close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting by a stream in the woods.
   • A small indoor fountain can help bring a sense of watery calm to your office or home.
5. Take control. Convince yourself that you are master of your own choices and experience. You are in control of your feelings - don't waste it.
   • Remember, not making a decision is still a choice - make the choice you want in your life.
6. Don't hurt yourself. When you're having a bad day, look at yourself in the mirror and say good things to yourself. Say, "You are smart, beautiful / handsome" to increase your confidence. Enjoy your favorite dessert, take a warm bath or plan some free time for hobbies.
   • While we are always concerned about what other people think about us, it is important to suppress the voice that wants to dig such concerns into deep. Don't teach other people to put you down by reminding yourself that most of the useless criticism comes from other people's self-projections of what they hate about themselves. In other words, accept compassion for them.
