101 Ways to Instantly Change From Anxiety to Calm
#1 Anchored Breathing
I walked into my bank today and was amazed that it was so quiet! No one else was there! So as I was doing business with one teller, the other two were talking together about the anxiety issues they were having.
It seems that everywhere I go, I’m finding people struggling with this issue. I spoke with all 3 tellers for about 5 minutes about their anxiety before I left. And they were grateful to have information they had never heard before.
And that’s why I’m so excited to announce the release of my new book, DIY Calm: 101 Ways to Instantly Change from Anxiety to Calm! I’m planning to have it published in the new year but I thought I would leave you some tidbits until then!
My book, DIY Calm, has techniques that work with the mind and body. Our physiology can be a big mystery to us. Here, I’m working with several of our natural responses to effect a state of calm when anxiety has kicked in.
In this video, you will learn the #1 technique that I teach all of my clients.
Let’s get started.

You can pull yourself out of fear and anxiety states yourself. Fear and anxiety are emotions meant to protect us. We need to be afraid of touching a hot stove. We need to be anxious about trying new things like diving off of a cliff. Those emotions are meant to protect and allow us a moment to think twice and be sure we want to proceed. After all, diving off that cliff may not be such a good idea if you are not a good swimmer or can’t see the bottom under the water.

But when fear and anxiety are taking over when it is not necessary, it can be at the least a great inconvenience. And sometimes there are even times when the feeling seems to take over and a person can’t even function normally.
That’s where DIY Calm comes in. I’m giving you a boatload of ideas and techniques to overcome unnecessary feelings that hamper you. These techniques are there when you need them, most of them can be done in public but are so subtle that no one will notice your use of them.
Today I will show you my top way to use the Vagus Nerve Response of calming through breathing. I teach this to every client I see. Because it is so simple and works so quickly, it’s useful to everyone. We all have occasion to breath in a shallow manner which adds to feeling unsettled. You know, that feeling that maybe everything is not OK. Stop that feeling in it’s tracks with Anchored Breathing.
Here’s how you do it:
Step #1 Rub your thumb and two fingers together while you’re breathing.
Step #2 Breathe in for a count of four.
Step #3 Hold the breath for a count of four.
Step #4 Exhale for a count of four.
Repeat as many times as needed.
