Remind yourself how awesome you are with affirmations. Write down affirmations that remind you of your capabilities and strengths and keep them somewhere you can find them if nerves strike.

• Become aware of your safety and breathing. Your fight or flight response may be in overdrive.
• Take note of five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can touch, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
