Anxiety Attacks-Here’s How to Calm Down Naturally

What's Happening in Your Body

During an anxiety attack, your heart races, chest tightens, and your brain screams “something’s wrong!” But often, it's just your body's stress response in overdrive.

🧘‍♂️ Breathe—Really

Deep breathing isn’t a cliché. Try inhaling for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat 5 times. This tricks your brain into calming down.

🧊 Ground Yourself

Touch something cold—ice cubes or a cool glass of water. It pulls your brain away from spiraling thoughts and brings you into the present.

✍️ Write It Down

Jotting your thoughts in a notebook (not your phone!) helps your mind release what it’s holding. Write exactly what you feel, unfiltered.

🌿 Herbal Help

Chamomile tea, lavender oil, or even a warm bath can activate your “rest mode.” Simple, natural tools—no side effects.
