   There are a couple of things to try…

   Firstly,
   Breathe in through your nose into the pit of your stomach for the count of four seconds, then hold your breath for four seconds, finally release your breath slowly to the count of eight seconds through your mouth whilst making a slight whistling sound. Try this about five times in row and you should find your anxiety reduce to a reasonable level.

   Secondly,
   Try asking your self to bring on the anxious feelings and really be brave about facing them, I know this sounds crazy but anxiety is only the fear of FEAR. Once challenged a few times this can really take the sting out of the anxiety’s tail and help you feel much more in control.

   Don’t run away from your fear. As we can’t run away from ourselves it may be just best to face our fears and fight them head on.

   I know these tips sound overly simplistic, but as a long term sufferer of Anxiety/Panic they are the two things that have helped me the most in bringing it to a manageable level.

   You may never be cured, and I don’t recon I ever will be, but you may well learn to live with your anxiety and make it more manageable,

   Good luck,
   I hope this helps, Carlos

   Take it easy. Nothing goes wrong if you are calm and relax.

   It depends on the situation in which is making you anxious, but generally not thinking about it helps. Focus on something else or keep yourself busy. This can’t always apply if you’re in the middle of something stressful, however. Sometimes it’s good to feel anxious. Just take your time with things. Focus on the goal.
