How do you calm yourself down

Hey folks, do you have any technique how to calm yourself down? Is it meditation or positive thinking perhaps? I’m curious what works for you when it feels like you are panicking.

Thank you :blush:

I just checked myself and tell myself whatever it is just isn’t that important, so I’m delusional.

In my case, lowering my iodine down to normal levels solved that issue for me.

I’ve had high iodine all my life I think. I also think people in general have too much iodine in their diet.

Too much iodine will stimulate the brain and keep you awake, causing insomnia. Too much will also lower dopamine and cause low mood, even leading to depression.

Nothing works, other than medicine. And/ or you can learn schizophrenia. It’s in your mind.

Breathing slowly and deeply. Writing in my journal. Coffee. Running to hubby for comfort. Writing on here.

At night, to calm myself so I can sleep, I use a weighted blanket. I’m autistic. Weighted blankets help autistics sleep.

This works out really well for slow work at professional setting.
