I wouldn’t consider myself a person that suffers from anxiety. However, this changes depending on the environment I sometimes find myself in. There are certain situations that do lead to me feeling worried, concerned, overwhelmed and dare I say it anxious.
The best trick I have learnt to help erode these feelings before they fully take hold, is to breathe when the feelings first arise. That’s right, simply to breathe. I take a couple of deep breaths, with or without my eyes being closed, and 9 times out of 10 the feelings have dissipated within a minute or so.
