How To Calm Down In 10 Seconds (Fast Relaxation Trick to Stop Anxiety and Stress) 

People that don't suffer from panic attacks are incredibly lucky because panic attacks are truly horrifying.

am i the only one?: focusing on my breathing makes it worse for me (my heart beat)

I was on the edge of puking because I was so stressed out. I looked this up, watched it and did it and felt a rush of calm go over me. Thank you so much. I have been feeling this way for weeks now, and I can finally breathe.

I don't wish panic attacks on anyone. They are horrible! Meds didn't work, and some made them worse. Techniques like this are wonderful. Thank you!

I always freak out for finals. I started shaking uncontrollably and can't even focus. I feel sick to my stomach and get so freaked out I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Which is weird because most my grades are great. This helps thank you.

Do u guys get nervous stomach anxiety where u can't sleep and then maybe burp and feel better

ive been having a lot of suicidal thoughts in the past few weeks and i cant believe this video really helped me just now, i feel so much more relaxed doing this technique. i cant thank you enough. i was having trouble breathing well but now i can do it with ease again. really, thank you so much, i love you

Me: *freaking out over a situation and don’t know what to do* Me also: *searches this immediately*

Thank you so much, I've suffered from anxiety attacks from a young age, and they keep happening. As soon as I watched this video I burst into tears, since almost all videos I've watched on anxiety tips talk about how the brain works and no actual answer. But I feel better now that I'm not alone. I'm so happy I've herd it from someone else who knows what it's like, and a simple go to answer. So thank you.

1:23 so i did this before a job inter view and i ended up shitting my self ....

I have extreme panic attacks when I get to school and when I'm out in public..I literally can't breathe or move and I stand there motionless and can't speak..this helped me..thank you.

Thank you that helped SO much. I know to some people, this may seem like an obvious technique, like many techniques for anxiety, but when my anxiety is bad it's easy to forget to focus on something as simple as breathing. I'm sure I can't be the only one that finds themselves holding their breath in all day unintentionally.

Hi Steve, I've spent the last 3 hours wide awake feeling stressed when I should be asleep. I searched 'how to calm down' and clicked on this link. I tried the technique and felt instantly better! Thank you so much. Good night! Louise, England (New subscriber)

I don’t know how to explain it but I always get stressed out and anxious from everyday things. For example, sometimes the night before I make a list in my head of what I’m going to do the next day. Such as cleaning my room, I want to get it done because I’m a neat freak, but then I get lazy and don’t do it. Then I start getting a panic attack and procrastinating even more just because I didn’t clean my room. Usually this happens on the weekends, and then when I don’t do it, it becomes the week. And I have even more things to worry and stress about like school. Which piles onto my things to do. Fml

My right ear feels lonely

This helped me so much. I always feel stressed, and get anxiety when im about to drive to work. THIS WORKED. Thank you so much.

11 years later and this is still helping people. Thank you.

I have most of my anxiety attacks before bed, so this is perfect! 👍🏻

This was very helpful, I was on the verge of tears just a few minutes ago and I now feel like I lifted all of my tenseness off of my chest! :)

Holy shit, this actually worked.

Can't wait to try this out whenever I get nervous. I'm an actor and I'd love to never be nervous anymore so I could act with ease and no care in the world about getting nervous or not.

I started doing this whenever I fuck up socially, it really helps bc they just walk away and leave me alone after that.

Thank you for making this! When I'm stressed about a situation I tend to overthink and overanalyze, which makes me even more stressed. But this calmed me right down.

When my team isn't listening to me in Overwatch

I don't know if I've really ever felt anxious enough to need this but I needed something to help me quickly relax in tense moments. I'll give this a go!

i just shared your website onto my twitter, your book is amazing thank you :)

I started crying after doing this.... I couldnt believe it helped.. Thank you!!!!!

I did this in the middle of a hard test and farted. Thank you.

hanzo scattered me 4 times in a row out of spawn.. thank you so much for this it helped.

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been so stressed out and anxious because I only have 1 week of school left and there are so many assignments due. This really helped me calm down.

thank you, I was in the middle of a anexity attack and this helped me ♡

i have my first varsity wrestling match tomorrow as a freshman and my anxiety is really bad right now. This really helped, thank you.

Thanks...reading the comments helped too...sometimes you just need to remember youre not crazy and youre not alone

Honestly, just listening to you talk about it calmed me down. You're the man

watching this the morning of my wedding day..hoping this will work 😧

I'm amazed!!!! I'm came on youtube to try and get tips because I felt an attack brewing. I watched 3 videos that didn't help me. As soon as I did this I immediately felt calm. I'm so impressed. Thank you!!

I felt ready to cry and I watched his and I feel so much better , thank you seriously man

I don’t usually leave comments on videos but for this I felt I had to. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me. Thank you so much!

Great technique for being alone in an elevator but holding my breath and tensing my facial muscles in front of 100 people will most likely turn my public speaking into stand up comedy.

your voice is so calming. thank you for this tutorial, it really helps

thanks, this helped me a lot. I have been anxious and can't get any sleep. thank you, your voice is very soothing also.

This worked perfectly for me. I wish I saw this video a long time ago that way I wouldn’t be nervous all the time. I can’t believe how quickly it worked for me. Thankyou very much

*My workplace is going through some changes right now and everyone has been on edge. We are all working overtime and trying to squeeze a lot of work into short periods of time. Stress and anxiety are high. When I first saw these, I didn't have high hopes. I had tried other stuff that is supposed to help, such as vitamin B tablets, but they didn't seem to make a difference. I am SO GLAD I decided to try these anyway though. The first day I got them, I took them to work with me. Four of my coworkers and myself all took them. It was a Monday, which is typically one of the most stressful days at work.*

Holy shit this actually worked, thank you so much. (although i feel weird doing it bc its like im taking a huge shit, but it does work lmao)

I CANT THANK THIS MAN ENOUGH I WAS ABOUT TO BREAK IN DESPERATELY WANTING TO CALM MYSELF DOWN AND I FIND THIS VIDEO THANKS A LOT MAN

Thank you for that! It's quite simple but I never really thought of it, and it did help me just now when breathing techniques alone didn't do much. That tension feeling inside my body is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced. I really appreciate you sharing your tip, thank you so much :)

I suffer from serious anxiety

Imagine what we would be like if we did not have things like that designed in our brains.

Thank u so much. It worked!!! Finally I can take care my child. Have been having anxiety since I gave birth to my daughter 16 months ago. Never taking any meds. And this has finally helped me. I thank u

I have insomnia so when i get disturbed its really difficult for me because i cant focus on what is happening and this REALLY help thanks :D!

Learned this in therapy but never had success with it I felt like I got worse. I think my problem is the thoughts racing through my head won't stop and the fear increases then it's not only one thing I'm worrying about it's a million things. I just wish this went away and it never comes back.

This is so frustrating, I'm wondering if it even is anxiety I suffer with anymore and not something worse, my anxiety is extremely physical, that's the part I dont like, I don't mind feeling a little mentally worried about something, that's a breeze compared to what I go through, but when I'm on the edge of a panic attack (which is most of the time) breathing is the last thing I want to be thinking about yet everyone seems to say breathing techniques are the best option, deep breaths make me feel much worse because I just feel like I'm breathing in empty air, taking conscious control of my breathing at all makes everything worse, what the hell is wrong with me? Honestly It's been many years now, no matter what I try nothing works and Im actually going insane, and I'm becoming someone I don't like because of my frustration, I really feel so close to the end now.

I suffer from ADD which is extreme anger , each time I feel just a tiny bit of anger , I work my self up until I feel like panicking or just going absolutely mental and crazy , this has actually helped me , God bless brother

This completely blew my mind and was kind of scary..That wave of euphoria was as intense as drugs..

I'm calm after 1 minute doing these things and then my mind is like funs over

well, theres 1 thing that ve been bothering me alot. and thats speaking in front of a group. today i was at this group with 40-50 people, and we were gonna present ourself 1 at the time. and god i got nervous, my heart started to beat like crazy, i felt the blood rushing to my head making my skin red, and i was just shaking. and that was just when i was waiting for my turn. well the presentation didnt go that well, but i dont really care about that. i was laughing at myself for being an idiot at the way home, even told my friends how stupid i looked and sounded. so yeah i dont care if people laugh or not. i think i have a fear of anxiety, meaning that i fear the fear (if that makes sense). i fear that people can see my fears, like when i was completely red, i feared that people saw that i was red. oh and after u presented myself (or tried to) the anxiety level fell down and was gone in 45 seconds or so. but yeah, am gonna go there tomorrow too, and present myself again. and am gonna try this technique and see if it works :P

Hey dude, I don't suffer from Anxiety, but every now and then like today something bad will happen in my life and I get thrown into an uncontrollable rage. I have been foaming at the mouth for hours since "The Incident", but this works bro! Big up and respect!

my left ear is anxious now

I get very anxious when I'm going to eat out with my friends or on a date, cause I get really nauseous and sometimes I have to run to the restroom and throw up. It really pissess me off, I can't start a relationship cause I get so anxious around people I'm dating and I feel like throwing up everytime.

This actually works! Thank you so much

Thank you so much!!!💜 I could not stop shaking until I tried this. As someone who suffers from the anxiety disorder OCD I can say this really does work and is very effective💜 I really appreciate this method being shared

I thought my earphones where broken

Me: **gets a panic attack** My brain: YOUR NOT GONNA DIE Me: im gonna die

THANK YOU I am 16 and a British college student doing catering. Not because it's a passion but because life is stressful and so is professional catering and if I can get through this year course I can get through a lot more. I want to be in the military or security type work. And I have been having lately weird heartbeats it hurts my chest and I have been eating things like a banana yogurts to help it regulate from all the stress of college. This video I did it then locked my phone and did it again and my heart beat was pretty normal. Thank you so much my guy. ❤️❤️❤️

This kind of helped me I'm nervous because I have to present in class tomorrow I'm felling better thank u 😁

Does this work for generalized anxiety? It's keeping me from sleeping. I tried breathing exercises and I can still feel my mind racing.

Skip to 2:37 or read instructions on how to calm down below: 1. Take a very deep breath and hold it in. 2. Tense every muscle in your body for 5-10 seconds. 3. Relax every muscle as you slowly exhale.

When i was 4 i was diagnosed with anxiety and ever since i have been looking for a trick/technique to help and this has been the only successful one so far

Only my left ear calmed down... I wonder why.

I am just So nervous for my grades-

i love this video, i love how calm he is i feel like this is gonna work i got my first panic attack yesterday and it feels terrible i got it from my parents arguing about getting a divorce. they’ve been fighting about getting a divorce since i was a little kid ( i have two sisters and one brother both sisters are older then me and my brother is 12 ) i would always try to push my self on not worrying about it and i broke down yesterday bc they were saying where gonna get a divorce and the day before that my mom told my dad but she didn’t mean it. then i started to cry out loud to my self my parents heard they were in the kitchen then they said what’s wrong and i couldn’t breathe and i told them you guys always fight and then i couldn’t breathe i felt numb i kept crying and it went worst

XXXXDDD now imagine yourself on a date, you just in front of the person in a table, he/she says "hello" and then you start inhaling , tensing your muscles as if you were taking a shit and exhaling like that. Guarantee you screw up your date. What a joke...

I need this for my mom and my sister, the bitch combo.

Am I the only one who can't take deep breaths because of the nausea?

It was very helpful. I am one of those who suffers from constant anxiety and stress. It was my first time doing this and I immediately feel more attentive! I advise everyone to try)

Im 16 and i recently had an attack where i couldn't breathe and I started trembling and got really nervous and scared... Is this an anxiety attack ? thats what the doctor said... also I get really paranoid recently when I feel like I can'y breath well :/

Omggggggg! Thank youuuuuu! I love you! This is a really good trick. Thank you

today i felt scared of something that would happen in the furture, idk what it is, im scared of SOMETHING, i found this video and now i feel saved ❤️

Thank you very much this happens from the season 7 premier of the walking dead

I get angry while gaming online really :/

You're truly a life saver, This really helped me a lot, thank you.

When u have a panic attack it just feels like ur falling down into this void and there’s something in ur head that not letting it go away and I really feel that this has helped me and will help a lot of ppl the ppl who don’t have anxiety and panic attacks are so lucky it really is horrifying and it feels like ur dying it’s that hard to explain...

I'm not even sure if this will work...I have terrible anxiety so when I have an attack deep breathing doesn't help and not just that but because of my anxiety it upsets my stomach.. And then it's like I have a monster in there it's so loud which makes me more anxious and then I have to go to the restroom.. Please telling I'm not the only one with this problem. =[

Ya a fuckin 4 minute video for a 10 second tutorial! I'm not normally pissed off but I'm about ready to snap my pc in half

Omg.. I was about to blow up on my boyfriend thank u !

I rarely get panic attacks(but when I do they're horrific) and just realised a trigger I didn't know I had, this helped a tonne

Bro this is the insight of the century. I'll conquer the world with this.

Holy shit that actually calmed me down lmao

I am trying out for my high school baseball team and I can’t stop shaking... this helped so much. Thank you

i get panic attacks thinking about dying.. I obviously try not to think about it but its impossible. i tried watching video's for accepting your own death but it just triggers my panick attack and its horrible

any one else get anxioty attacks late at night playing call of duty drinking monsters?

I'm here because I died 34 times in titan fall and almost broke my controller

Thank you I struggle with implosive anger. Every day you can say whatever you want to or about me. I'll just laugh it off. I might even joke with you. Bad situations. Trama. Disrespect. It all just builds up over time. It's not like I hold on to these situations. But maybe my subconscious does.. Then just one little small remark or negative thing happens and all that built up rage just takes over. I've been explosive angry before but it always goes away after a short time. But this. it's like that's all I feel. The rush of endorphins. The focused anger. Its fuckin scary. Because at that state you know what your doing. You channel that rage into a more definitive manner. You almost know what your doing but you're still out of control. But it's a rage that's built up over multiple situations that angered you over a particular amount of time but you keep pushing it down and trying to suppress it. Like today. Found out my company has been fucking us all. They fire people for minor and stupid shit. Fine. They underplay us for the strenuous jobs we provide on a daily compared to other similar companies. Kinda fucked up but ok. Lose my bonus because of corvid. New hire gets paid more then me. Get a scumbag coworker that has pu ll with the company and bosses us around because of his family and their contributions to the company. Whatever. I'll just avoid him. Father decided to join a "church" that basically brainwashed him into becoming a full fledged follower and wont question their doctrine.. Ok I don't like this shit at all but he's finally found happiness. I should be happy for him. My one and only car I use to live starts to break down and show signs of severe engine damage. Possibly putting me out of getting to work and pissing off my corporate overlords and getting me canned because I'm "unreliable" It's ok I know cars I can fix this. It will take alot of work but I can do it. No big deal. Then. As of 45 minutes ago. The one and only good thing I had to look forward to today. A sandwich. A really good fuckin sandwich i bought earlier today that I made sure not to forget to take home. I placed it on the top counter on the far fuckin end. I went out for 5 goddamn minutes to diagnose my car. I come back and the dog decided to jump up there and eat it. Just went up there and took it. Ended up dropping my glasses on the ground looking to see if it was the container my food was in and one of the legs broke off. So now I cant even see. I just fuckin lost it.. I broke anything that I could. I yelled. I threw shit.. Everything just turned black. Over a goddamn sandwich.. I had my phone on me and just typed "how to deal with extreme rage" and it brought me here. The video didn't help too much. The breathing maybe the most. But typing out this comment has helped me so much more. I'm feeling pretty calm now. But I know I'm going to regret going back inside..

Ahh help I'm very nervous 😩

i searched this up WHILE ibwas having a realy bad panoc attack and it realy helped thank you SO much for this :)
