Help: Are you nervous about particular things? Cognitive behavioral therapy may be helpful. Nervous about speaking. Try honing skills with toast master's international. Nervous about performance ? Always prepare well. Or, are you just always nervous? If so, please see your family physician for a medical eval to rule out organic causes. He or she may refer to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Take care.

Breathing: You may want to try diaphragmatic breathing or belly breathing. If you add mindfulness techniques to the breathing techniques you may be amazed with the results.
