Self-Soothing Tips During Panic or Anxiety Attacks

Have you experienced anxiety or panic attacks?  

The levels of stress have seen a record-breaking high during the pandemic.  Because of this, more and more people are experiencing anxiety and panic attacks.  

Panic attacks are sudden, intense surges of fear, panic, or anxiety. They are overwhelming, and they have physical as well as emotional symptoms.  

Many people with panic attacks may have difficulty breathing, sweat profusely, tremble, and feel their hearts pounding.  Anxiety can stem from several risk factors.


With patience, perseverance, and consistency, your panic attacks can be managed.

Remember, you are much braver than you think you are.  

Here are a few self-soothing tips you can do during an anxiety attack.

  1. Practice deep breathing
  2. Get up and get moving
  3. Trust that it will pass
  4. Focus on one object in front of you
  5. Recognize that you're having a panic attack
