Dear Tiny:

When you experience elevated anxiety, breathe, like anonymous03  suggested right above, take air in, and let air out, focusing on your belly expanding, then shrinking, then expanding again. Repeat any or all of the following sentences out loud slowly:

I am breathing out fear, I am breathing in calm.

I am breathing out anger, I am breathing in peace.

I am okay. I am safe. I am strong. I am patient. I am capable. I will be okay.

Rest in these sentences. When it happens again (and it will) that a thought or a situation arises that causes you anxiety, breathe, and repeat:

This feeling is temporary, it will pass.

What I cannot change, I accept. I accept my life just as it is right now.

I am okay. I am safe. Stress flows out of me, peace flows into me.
