Try Visualization

When wrestling with boiling tension, try painting a mental picture to calm your body and brain:

• Think of a real or imaginary place that makes you feel happy, peaceful, and safe. This can be that camping trip to the mountains you took last year or an exotic beach you’d like to visit someday.
• Focus on the sensory details by envisioning yourself there. What are the smells, sights, and sounds?
• Be aware of your breathing and keep this image in your mind until you feel your anxiety start to lift.
