When you are feeling particularly stressed, breathe in to a count of four, hold it for a count of four, breathe out for a count of eight and then hold for a count of four. Repeat a few times to calm your mind. The count for breathing out should be about twice the count for breathing in.
Unfortunately, conscious breathing doesn’t make your problems go away but it can help relieve some of the panic.
