Slow your breathing.Cool it down to 8 to 12 breaths per minute: Take a deep breath, hold for a count of 4, then exhale slowly.

Distract yourself. Instead of focusing on your physical symptoms, start talking with someone or start people watching. Or try splashing cold water on your face or applying a cold washcloth. I wear a rubber band around my wrist and start popping it against my arm.

Look up.Research indicates that we have more intense feelings, positive or negative, when we are looking down.

Lower your shoulder's. When you are tense, you almost always raise your shoulders. And lowering them can trigger instantaneous relief. If this seems unnatural to you, you might want to practice it.

Slow the pace of your thoughts. Anxious thoughts are usually fast and scattered. By slowing thoughts and making them complete sentences, you may help diminish anxiety in some cases and give yourself a greater feeling of control. Alter your Voice. Making your voice slower, lower in pitch and softer will signal to others and to yourself that you are in control. Change your facial expression. If you tend to furrow your brow when anxiety strikes, then try smoothing out your forehead and turning the corners of your mouth up instead. Even though you may not be smiling at the moment a turned up mouth sends a physiological message to your mind to lighten up.

T-O-O-M-A-N-Y- O-B-L-I-G-A-T-I-O-N-S!

You know the tell-tale signs:
First your eyelids get droopy, then whatever's on your computer screen starts to swim around, and you feel glued to your chair. Yes, it's the afternoon slump. And for those who've had it everyday for years, it can seem hopeless. But there is hope.

1. Eat a light breakfast combining low-sugar cereal and low-fat milk or yogurt. Here's why:
   • Not eating breakfast puts you at an energy deficit when you need the fuel the most.
   • Sugar and carbohydrates alone will trigger an energy rush that quickly peters out.
   • Carbohydrates combined with protein make for long-lasting energy.
   • Fat and lots of calories will trigger serotonin production in your brain, making you more calm, almost sleepy.
2. Have one or two cups of coffee. Here's why:
   • The caffeine in coffee stimulates your whole system. One or two cups makes you a coffee achiever.
   • Caffeine is also a serious drug, and consuming more than five cups a day can trigger withdrawal symptoms when you are not drinking it. People who drink lots of coffee often spend their days on an energy roller coaster, with extreme highs after coffee and deep lows as it wears off. Not only is this depressing, it's exhausting.
3. Make lunch light and protein-rich -- with choices like a low-fat turkey sandwich. Here's why:
   • Any meal over 1,000 calories will slow you down and make you drowsy. So heavy lunches can be your ruin.
   • Too many carbohydrates without protein (pasta for example) will elevate serotonin levels in your brain, leaving you calm and sleepy for the afternoon.
   • Too much fat will do the same thing.
   • Lunch should be satisfying, you should feel lightly full afterwards. If you only eat salads with non-fat dressing, you're eating the equivalent of a fruit juice, without the sugar. Try adding some chick peas or sunflower seeds for protein.
4. Snack on fruits, pretzels, fresh vegetables, or granola between meals. Avoid sugar-rich candies or sweets. Here's why:
   • Snacks are good for you. Eating small meals throughout the day gives you a steady supply of energy -- never too much, never too little.
   • Sugar, which is supposed to be an "energy" food, actually slows you down. Not only does it raise serotonin levels in the brain, it also dumps into your system so fast that your body has to divert energy from other places just to process it.
5. Drink lots of water, even when you are not thirsty. Here's why:
   • Dehydration, which is a lot more common than you might think, causes crankiness and fatigue.
