We all worry and get upset from time to time.
It’s a normal part of life, right?
But what happens when that anxiety or anger takes over, and you can’t calm down?
Here are some helpful, actionable tips you can try the next time you need to calm down.
1. Breathe

This sends a message to your brain, causing a positive feedback loop reinforcing your fight-or-flight response.

1. Know Your Goals
It’s much easier to make decisions when you're abundantly clear on:
- What you’re trying to achieve.
- Why you’re trying to achieve it.
- & how you plan on achieving it.

Take a minute to visualize what it means to you.
