I never knew brains came with an OFF switch until a nurse taught me a new way of breathing when I was inpatient. By gosh, it works most of the time when I take the time to do it right. You just close your eyes and breathe in slowly to a count of five, hold it for five, then let it out for five. Release your anxiety as you relax your body. Do this until your mind quiets down. It really helps.
