Thanks for your comment, Reid! Yes, deep breathing helps to calm you in so many situations. It is very helpful with significant stress and Anxiety Disorder sufferers. Thanks for the reminder! Curiously, there are two breathing suggestions for dealing with a panic attack, both involving holding your breath: 1) If you're not able to breathe or choking, slowing down your breathing, breathing deeply, holding your breath, then slowly blowing it out as if you were blowing out a candle works very well. 2) If you are hyperventilating, breathe deeply and hold your breath as long as you can. This can calm hyperventilation quickly. See the section on "What is the treatment for panic attacks?" in the Panic Attacks reference article.

Very nice tips. I feel compelled to add one though. Remember to take a deep breath! Perhaps the stop sign visualization is also a great reminder to breathe deep, which helps you slow things down.
