    Tell yourself to calm down and breathe deeply in out in out as slowly as you can if you can put your hands on your stomach as you do this - you can hide this action under the desk if you have one. You will calm down just tell yourself so. " I will calm down, I will calm down - breathing deeply. You'll be OK if you believe you"ll be OK. Take care.

    Get some water or a drink and sip it and try and think about something else, or start talking to someone you need to distract your mind
