I've found drinking a bunch of water and exercising (or just going on a cleaning spree) tends to help calm me, but I have a pretty severe anxiety disorder, so it only goes so far. Meditation has never helped. Sitting in silence doing nothing lets my mind wander too much. Can't do it.<br /><br />- Madilyn Quinn @ <a href="http://shereadsanddrinks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NovelBrews</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-30294167238579889022015-10-07T07:29:07.652-07:002015-10-07T07:29:07.652-07:00Love your post.
