One of the worst things you can do for your friend if they are suffering from anxiety is say, “Calm down.” People with anxiety can’t calm down, or they wouldn’t have an anxiety disorder. Telling your friend to calm down can be interpreted as you dismissing their feelings, implying that your friend is irrational, or saying that the feelings aren’t valid. Though you may be concerned when your friend has an anxiety attack, sharing your concern, being freaked out, or panicking yourself can increase your friend’s anxiety. Instead, be there for your friend and tell them you are sorry they are going through this. This can help your friend stay calm.  Asking questions like, “Are you alright? Are you okay? Can you breathe?” or similar things can cause more anxiety since you are not calm. Instead, tell your friend, “I’m sorry you are going through this. This must be really difficult. This is an awful way to feel.” When your friend goes through an anxiety attack, try to be as positive and encouraging as you can. Help your friend remember that they are safe where they are at the moment. For example, you may tell your friend, “You can do this. It’s only your anxiety. The feelings are quite frightening, but you are safe. I am here. You can get through this, and I am proud of you. A lot of anxiety stems from feeling like a person’s anxiety is their fault or that something is wrong or broken inside them. When your friend faces anxiety, tell them, “This is not your fault. It is okay.” This helps calm your friend and not put added anxiety onto them.  Being supportive and letting your friend know that it is not their fault does not mean that you enable your friend’s anxiety. Don’t accommodate your friend's fear and enable the anxiety. For example, you should never give up doing things because of your friend's anxiety. You shouldn't pressure your friend, but you also shouldn't change your plans and life around the anxiety all the time. Either decide to go to the event by yourself or you and your friend can take steps to help reduce the stress of the event. Enabling means you make excuses for your friend, stop doing things because of your friend, and do things for your friend when they don't. Don't make excuses, lie, or try to take the responsibility away from your friend. Instead, help your friend accept the consequences of their anxiety. Some people think that finding common ground can help their friend. You may think it’s a good idea to say, “I know how you feel” or “I’m stressed out/anxious, too.” Unless you also suffer from an anxiety disorder, you do not feel the same kind of anxiety or panic your friend feels.  Saying these things to your friend may trivialize their feelings.

Summary: Avoid telling your friend to calm down. Offer sympathy instead of concern. Stay positive and encouraging. Help your friend understand it’s not their fault. Refrain from equating your friend’s anxiety to yours.


Write in a gratitude journal each day in order to consistently recognize all of the great things that you have in your life. Whether you write a whole page or just a sentence each day on what you feel grateful for, this activity may help you feel satisfied by bringing all the positives of your life to light.  Try writing down one thing for every letter of the alphabet (a-z) that you’re grateful for. If you want to involve others in your daily gratitude, consider writing thank you notes to those you’re grateful for. Those who change at least one of their viewpoints or behaviors every few months are more likely to look to the future with hope and positivity. These individuals also generally claim to be in a better mood most of the time. Keep in mind that growth isn’t possible without change, and try to approach life’s changes with open arms so that you can feel more satisfied overall.  For example, you may find that you accidentally interrupt people sometimes, and then make a conscious effort to change this behavior. For example, you may decide to change your political stance on taxes after you hear someone bring up a few strong points that you hadn’t before considered. By attempting to look at seemingly negative situations in a positive light, you can change your thought processes over time. This may help you to feel more satisfied because you’re putting a positive filter on the people, events, and situations in your life. For instance, maybe your job wasn’t really fulfilling, and losing it was a gift in disguise because now you can pursue your true passion. Reflect on those who you know that are wealthy and those who aren’t as fortunate. There are many people who have less than you but still manage to have a positive outlook on life. There are also many who have more than you and are dissatisfied. Keep this in mind when you think you have to have more in order to be happy.

Summary: Practice daily gratitude. Be open to change. Look at things from a new perspective. Recognize that having more doesn’t ensure happiness.


You want to ensure your hands are completely clean before you sit down for your meal. In Indian culture, the left hand is commonly viewed as dirty and unsanitary, and therefore rude to eat with. Avoid serving, eating, or touching any of the food with your left hand. Avoid letting the food touch your palms. Hold the food near the tips of your fingers when you're bringing it to your mouth. It's custom to sample each dish individually. This goes for any main dishes and side dishes but does not include the bread, rice, or daal. For example, you wouldn't mix a vegetable dish with a meat dish in the same bite, or eat one of the side dishes with one of the main dishes in the same bite.
Summary: Wash your hands before you eat. Eat with your right hand only. Use only your fingers to pick up food. Take bites of one dish at a time.
