Do what's called box breathing. Inhale slowly and deeply to a count of 4, hold it for a count of 4, exhale slowly and deeply to a count of 6, hold your lungs empty for a count of 4. Repeat. Ideally you should do this 25 times, and it always calms me right down. I do it in bed every night to help me fall asleep.
