Grounding technique.

If you feel the anxiety taking hold ground yourself. You can do this standing up wherever you are, however, if you can, sit yourself down with your back straight and your feet planted on the floor (preferably barefoot) softly close your eyes and bring your awareness to your body, focus on any internal feelings. Just allow them to be. Notice tension, twitching, numbing, tingling, pulsing. 
Then focus on 3 things you can feel that you’re touching e.g your fingers might be touching each other, you might have a hand on your leg so you can feel your trousers, maybe your feet on the carpet or your bum on the seat. 
Next, bring your awareness to what you can hear. Listen even if it’s white noise, and carefully note what you can hear. It could be your breathing, the sound of the movement of your clothes, a clocking ticking, traffic, people moving around, birds, trees. Notice 3 things you can hear. 
Then gently open your eyes and bring your awareness to what you can see. Notice 3 things you can see and focus on each for a few seconds. 
After this you will be grounded and 100% present in the moment, which is essential for keeping calm.
