Throw the alarm away: 6 ways to calm down in seconds

1. Focus on breathing
Put your palms on your stomach and think about how you breathe in and out. Consider inhaling and exhaling: one - inhale, two - exhale, pay attention to body movements,
live in the present moment. Just 10 seconds in many cases to calm down.

2. Pay attention to your feelings.
Are your feet comfortable on the floor? Do your hands lie on the keyboard? Is the back pressed to the back of the chair? Any sensation that brings you back to reality will help to distract from sad thoughts. Let them quietly fly in your head, but as soon as they start to capture you completely, focus on the sensations.

3. Test yourself from crown to heels
No, you do not need to go to the doctor. Close your eyes and turn your mind's eye to your head, then slowly move down, stopping for a couple of seconds on the eyes, nose, neck, hands ... Evaluate whether different parts of the body feel good. Do not expect any special sensations, just from them and move on. Repeat the exercise 2-3 times and compare the feelings of the various "scans".

4. Imagine the sunlight pouring from heaven.
As if you are sitting by the window or lying on the beach, and the sun is shining right in the face, it fills all parts of the body. Let warmth, light, and tranquility prevent emotional overload.

5. Just think about what comes to mind.
Yes, it sounds strange, but try not to drive away disturbing thoughts, but sit down and quietly immerse yourself in them, without expectations, concentration and fear. Thus, the brain will receive additional free neural connections to quickly deal with the negative.

6. Talk to yourself as a friend.
Ask yourself what you love the most, focus on thoughts about it. After a few seconds, you will feel relieved, as if the second "I" separated from you and took disturbing thoughts with you.
