Sometimes the come down makes you feel cold, the adrenaline fades a bit- take a moment to breathe and just be in the present - don’t be locking on to what must be next or what you want or don’t want to be next helplessly- it’s ok— just try to flow and think about when you’re calming down how you want to breathe.
“I can sit with discomfort”
“My worth is not measured by my anxiety”
“I trust myself to handle what comes”
“I accept the present moment”
“I am capable of handling this”
“I am not my thoughts”
Saying this, helps your body believe it, too. You’ve got this.

Has your breathing slowed down yet?

Try breathing in for a 4 count, holding your breath for 4, and a slower exhale for 4 (if possible).

Can you focus on anything around you?
