How did you relax?

So I'm a very very anxious person, especially when it comes to hospitals.  I'm an RN, but terrified to be the patient.. Crazy I know.  I was wondering what relaxtion techniques you guys have used or plan on using.  I'm a big believer in "mind over matter".  Just wondered what worked!  Thanks!

    Well, after 6 months of weekly sessions with an awesome therapist, I'm pretty good now at automatically relaxing when I feel an anxiety "trigger" coming on...  but for a short-term solution, you could try consciously relaxing your muscles, starting from your head and working your way down...  and you can also try focusing on things you're grateful for & happy about, because it's hard to be anxious when you're filled with gratitude for something.  :)

    I made a couple different playlists for my iPod. Sometimes fast active music relaxes me, but the relaxing clam playlist I made worked perfectly. Oh...and drugs  :)
