Close your eyes & think of a place you love like a beach And your sitting there with your feet in the water. Thats what i do & start your pursed lipped breathing.

I close my eyes sit very still and listen to the breathing air going into my body. I try to track it as it enters. Then i feel the air leave my body when i exhale. Just try to stay calm and meditate. It takes take but it works for me
