Hello Pilatus,

A few things I use>>>>>>>>>>>>

Positive self-talk.

Distractions such as crosswords, reading and listening to music.

Slowing the breathing down, cup hands over mouth and breath steadily for at least ten minutes.

Relaxation, buy a CD, tape and relax everyday at a set time.

Physical exercise, going for a walk and focusing on what is around you.

Hope some of these might help you.

Take care.
