Take a piece of home with you to keep you grounded. Whether it be a blanket, or a stuffed animal, or just a small token, take something with you that makes you feel comfortable or relieved in the situation. Oftentimes, just the thought that it is there in case you need it is soothing.

Maybe practice deep breathing exercises? They have helped me keep my heartbeat down when I'm nervous or close to an anxiety attack. It helps clear your head and lets you some clear thinking.
