Self soothing statements

Do anybody have any self soothing statements that you can think to your self when your somewhere that your anxiety is acting up?

Thanks.

The Serenity Prayer helps and it's applicable regardless of what religion you are. Ask yourself 'can I find a solution for this'? If not, then let go of it and take slow deep breaths.

I tell myself, "It will be all right" over and over. Imagine what you would like someone else who is comforting to say to you if they're there and say that.

I don't know if self-directed statements would be effective for me, but lately when my anxiety is intense I say a short prayer over and over again. It helps me get through the worst of it.

"The dogs bark but the caravan passes on" is the only mantra I know. Doesn't tend to work a well as "playing" a soothing song in my mind. Scarborough Fair sometimes helps.

That's a good idea.

I also tell myself it'll be alright and sometimes I remind myself the feeling will pass but nothing really helps even when I just have a little bit of anxiety. I'm going to try to "play" a song next time, thanks for that idea

well when i am not anxious, i take a few minutes here and there to put myself into a relaxed state and really feel that, so that i can say the word relaxed and my body will know what relaxed feels like. then when i am anxious or panicking i tell myself to "relax. a body cant be panicked and relaxed at the same time." i have to keep repeating it but it usually interrupts the anxiety. i also say "i acknowledge my anxiety, i breathe through my anxiety, i release my anxiety" several times till it releases it grip on me.

Thanks for all the great ideas!

I usually repeat "Let Go, Let God" through my breaths. It tends to help a little, takes the pressure off of me and lets Big Guy upstairs take over.

Sometimes I say 'Be here, Now.' 'cause often I become anxious thinking about the past or the present. Or I just tell my self to 'Breathe'.
