Have fun to calm the nervousness
When you can no longer stay calm, and you feel on edge, think of entertaining yourself.
It is a solution that helps you to relax and think positively.
Go to the cinema or for a walk, and this will allow you to find your good mood.
If you don’t feel like going out, turn on the TV and watch your favorite channel.

Experience self-hypnosis
If you feel nervous, you could also practice self-hypnosis.
It’s an exercise that allows you to meet your unconscious.
Here is one of the many possible exercises you can try.
Listen to what you want to change in your life, take a sheet of paper and write it down.
For example, note as a first objective: I want to live happily.
And write sub-objectives more precisely:
- In 1: I chat with my friends and I smile.
- In 2: I listen to them.
- IN 3: I respect their points of view.
- IN 4: I stay calm.
This is how you can avoid irritability.
So, as you complete this step, get ready to practice your hypnosis session.
Find a comfortable chair.
Sit down and relax.
Let go of your body and let your mind rest.

Instill in your subconscious mind the change you want.
Imagine anything that makes your life so calm and enjoyable.
Observe how your mood and feelings are changing.
Then feel your body, breath calmly, and slowly open your eyes.

Get enough sleep
Sleep is a natural stress reliever.

Also, turn off your phone before going to bed.

If you usually can’t sleep well, try to relax before going to bed.
To be more precise, try a little walk in the fresh air to help you fall asleep quickly later.
