When there are early signs of acute anxiety, immediately follow these steps: 1. Stop the current activity, including thoughts. 2. Immediately focus on another activity that requires a certain intensity of stimulation for this one activity. 4, controlled deep abdominal breathing. Inhale for four seconds and meditate on “calm mind”, exhale for four seconds and meditate on “quiet breath”. Repeat three times. To achieve good results, you should practice repeatedly until you are comfortable with it. Once an acute anxiety attack occurs, the three-step control method is less effective and may need to be combined with anti-anxiety medication.
