Close you eyes,take a deep breath and force a smile, smile as you take in the deep breathes and say "only good things come to me" or something positive that will encourage you on, after a minute or two open your eyes and maintain the smile, dont think about the stressful event anymore, focus on the positive things you thought about..if you develop this exercise into regular habit you the anxiety attacks will reduce with time
