Re: Heart palps bringing me down
Distract yourself. I know it's difficult, but engaging your senses will help you shift out of your own head. My own preferred methods are to burn incense or potter in the kitchen, but you could run your hands under hot or cold water. We tend to primarily use our senses of sight and hearing, so do something that involves another sense as it will be much harder to tune it out.
