This document outlines 5 key strategies for coping with anxiety attacks: 1) Slow your breathing to help relax; breathe in slowly through your nose and out through your mouth. 2) Try yoga or tai chi to calm the mind and relax the body. 3) Consider Reiki, a form of healing that balances you emotionally, physically, and helps deal with anxiety over time with regular sessions. 4) Recognize the attack for what it is - short-lived and that you are safe - to quell the fear. 5) Find a positive distraction to redirect thoughts away from the impending attack.
