• One of most the beneficial pieces of information to know if you deal with anxiety attacks is to understand what your triggers are. Not only that, knowing the signs of a possible future anxiety attack
• If you know signs of a possibly attack, it is then important to use different tactics to calm yourself down such as: square breathing, 3-3-3 tactic, meditation, living in the present, enjoying hobbies, talking to friends or family
- Square breathing is a simple but useful way to calm one's nerves. Simply breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale for 4 seconds
-The 3-3-3 tactic is used by some as a way to live in the present. This consists of recognizing things that are present around you, identifying anything. This could be smell, what you see, and what you hear. Doing this distracts your brain from the stress on your body, and slowly calms your nerves
• Last but not least, it is important to note that everyone copes in different ways, some may find peace in exercising or painting, while others may meditate or listening to music. That being said, coping techniques should always be healthy
