Deep, breathing exercises are great! They help reset our parasympathetic nervous system, or help to calm the body down.
It also helps me if I close my eyes, put my palms against my closed eyelids, so that no light can get in, and take deep breaths.
When I first start, there is likely to be some “bright spots“ in the darkness. As I breathe out slowly, the bright spots that I see will gradually fade away when all is “dark,” then my system has calmed down quite a bit.
I remember doing deep breathing when I fell and broke my patella. IT helped me to not freak out but to deal with it calmly. Also helped me deal better with the pain.

Thanks for this , Cami! I just tried it and it was great. It’s interesting how when I block out visual distractions, I feel like I can hear better.
Glad you tried it and like it. :)
It really helps calm me down.
