What are things to do to calm yourself down? (nerves, anxiety, stress, etc)

Question

I just wanna know some ideas or tips of things other people do when they feel nervous, or anxious or however! What are good ways you calm yourself down or get yourself to chill out? Lol

(I'm crazy nervous about being sedated at the dentist tomorrow, that's why!) :(

Answer

When i'm in public and get nervous or anxiety, i chew gum, it distracts me from that stresss so i chew that shit in my mouth😂 when i'm at home and have anxiety , i usually drink warm tea called chamomile or yogi stress , helps really good.. Also the Air conditioning helps a lot to breathe deeply, Because when i have an anxiety attack i get soooooo hot and sweaty. i hope i helped alittle👌🏻.

Hi. I have a high functioning anxiety disorder. I don't take meds because I feel they make my case worse. I have PTSD because of past trauma and forever I had social anxiety. What helps me are homeopathic methods such as essential oils(aromatherapy) and self awareness exercises .. When I'm in public and I start to get anxiety. I grab a napkin and squeeze it. Reminding my cognitive (my mind) that I am equally in control physically and mentally. I then find one stable object to focus,on. Then I practice controlled breathing. This helps me for social anxiety. 
Other things you can do to maintain stress are herbal teas. Such as spearmint or peppermint. Proper diet and nutrition. Vitamins for positive health. women's supplements. And exercise.
Opening blinds or curtains. If you live somewhere with not a lot of sunshine. Buy lighting and plants. Music. Also at night to help you sleep. Get a humidifier and eliminate access to electronics such as TV computer. 1 hours before sleep. And don't eat heavy meals  3 hours before sleep. Good luck. Hope this helps.

When I used to get nervous about something I used a really good breathing techinique. You breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 7 seconds then breathe out for 8 seconds. This slows down your breathing and apparently makes sure you're getting a good supply of oxygen in your body. It really helps me when I'm stressed or nervous so hopefully you'll find this useful too.
