Unfortunately, people are not always able to control themselves and successfully avoid stress and strong emotions. Sometimes a person cannot cope with anxiety or fear on their own, and in these cases, you need to come to his aid.
Instructions
Step 1
Talk to the nervous person, distract them from the causes of stress. For example, if he is afraid of an upcoming speech in front of an audience, talk about rare butterflies, rules for decorating bouquets, interesting facts about cats, etc. Shift the person's attention to another, more pleasing subject. This will help him to calm down faster.
Step 2
Talk about something funny, engage the person in a funny conversation, or exchange witticisms and jokes. Give a couple of funny stories from life. Try to achieve a smile, even if it is weak. When a person smiles, or even more so laughs, fear and excitement fade into the background and gradually weaken.
Step 3
Convince the nervous person to take a little walk with you. Do not force him to sit still: as a rule, stress causes an adrenaline rush, and the person feels a strong need to move. It is best to organize a short walk in a quiet, calm place, preferably outdoors. The fewer irritants around, the better.
Step 4
Play soft, soothing music. If possible, convince the excited person to dance with you for a bit. Fast, energetic dancing in this case will be inappropriate. Preference should be given to slow dancing, smooth, calm movements.
Step 5
Offer the nervous person a sedative. Do not get carried away with pills, it is better to prepare a decoction of medicinal herbs. Tea with chamomile or a decoction of coriander fruits are perfect. You can also offer warm milk with honey: not everyone likes this drink, but it helps to calm down and relieve nervous tension.
Step 6
Prepare a decoction using a herbal remedy for depression and nervous disorders purchased from a pharmacy. This remedy is usually quite safe and helps to calm down quickly. Previously, it should be clarified whether the person for whom the broth is intended has an allergy to its components.
