DN Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yes breathing Take in a breath through your nose for a count of four Hold it for a count of four Breathe out for a count of four Hold it for a count of four repeat several times This regulates the flow of oxygen to the brain and has a calming effect.

littlestar Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Deep breaths - in through the nose, hold for a few seconds and then out through the mouth. In future get yourself some Bach Rescue Remedy, it's an all natural flower essence and it works miracles for helping in stressful situations and keeping you calm. I swear by it, use it all the time and carry it with me in my handbag wherever i go, won't leave the house without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applewhite Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Meeting over. Thanks so much to everyone who replied. I wonder sometimes if I have an anxiety problem that needs to be treated. The meeting was so-so everything went well, but I didn't really accomplish what I had wanted to (this was a small possibility anyway). I did get some more info on how to go about it, but it looks like an uphill battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsMeeoow Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I think we all experience anxiety/panic when there are very important things on the line... however, if you are experiencing them in normal everyday routine things like going to the store then perhaps you should seek some help for it. I think what you experienced today was completely normal and while you didn't accomplish everything you wanted at least you didn't blow it? Good job!

It doesn't happen everyday, but there are some things I forgot to say that I should have brought up. Those I will have to send an email for, but the environment was PERFECT to bring them up. Sigh.

CatsMeeoow Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I can't think of something similar I've attended and didn't later reflect why didn't I say this or that? I think most of us are guilty of second guessing. Email is perfect! For starters it lets the reader be reminded of what took place in the meeting as well as establish some additional points. It can open up a dialogue if the reader has questions without them having to approach you first. And, lastly an email is not directly taking up someone else's time as they can get to it at their own pace unlike a follow up phone call. Pat yourself on the back! The hardest part - the meeting to get the ball rolling is behind you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
