Hi eles and sunny, 
I like those suggestions as well. 
what helped me is by saying " ahhh" when I breath out or 'relaaaaax'  too.

Hi everyone:  Love those suggestions.  So true.  I often take a break even in winter just to sit outside and let the sun shine on me.  It feels so good, taking deep clean breaths.  Another tip I learned during meditation - imagine breathing in clean soft lilac coloured air into your lungs, let it swirl around and purify and then upon exhaling, imagine it a swampy dirty brown colour as it holds all the negatives, the impurities.

Just another idea,
Sunny

Hi eles7,
 
Thank you for sharing. These are all excellent suggestions.
 
How does it feel knowing you can take control of your anxiety with these strategies?

When I was first diagnosed with panic disorder and was seeing a therapist she introduced me to yoga and meditating. At first I thought it was strange but after doing it and experiencing the calming effects, I was amazed at how relaxed I was. I don't do yoga anymore but every night before I go to sleep, I put on relaxing music and I focus on my breathing and clear my mind. My therapist taught me that when you breath out, you should breath out heavily and push out all of your anxiety.
 
I also find that during the day at work or in life when I am beginning to become stressed, I clear my mind and focus on my breathing (doing it as discreetly as possible). Also I try to find time to enjoy the simple things in life. At work I always make sure to go outside for at least 15 minutes and just let the sun shine on me. My mom always told me that you have to remember that as bad as you think you have it, there is always someone out in the world whose situation is worse than yours!
 
Hope these tips help!
