When you experience anxiety, gently observe it and rate it on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is perfect comfort and 10 is perfect panic. 

Simply learning to be an “objective observer” is very helpful in lowering anxiety.  Then, use your “Mastering Panic” techniques.  Notice and appreciate your level on the scale.  If, for example, you lower your anxiety from a 6 to a 5, that is a success to feel good about!  With practice, you can lower it more and more.
