For patients with anxiety and panic issues, Dr. Sprague teaches various relaxation/visual activities that can greatly help you to relax. Try this simple exercise. Focus on the pictures. Breath in deeply for 10 counts. Hold your breath for a few seconds and slowly release your breath for 10 counts. Try it again a few more times. Learning to become aware of your breathing and to focus on pleasant images can help you to relax when you are feeling stress.
