With the Chicago Cubs on the brink of securing its first World Series title since 1908, fans are anything but calm as Game 7 nears.

With all the excitement from this best-of-seven World Series, comes plenty of stress for fans as the Cubs tied the series with a 9-3 win against the Cleveland Indians Tuesday.

But not even Jake Arrieta can strike out the anxiety that's building across the city heading into Game 7. 

With Nov. 2 being National Stress Awareness Day, here are some tips from the Anxiety and Depression Association of America that might help get you through the final nine innings.

Take a time-out. Meditate, stretch, take a walk -- anything to get you away from the screen (on commercials, of course). Stepping away from the game for a few seconds can help clear your head.

"If stress and anxiety levels get too high during the game, change the channel for 5 or 10 minutes," said Dr. Michael Hakimi, a psychologist and assistant professor at Loyola University's Stritch School of Medicine. "Forgetting about what's going on in the game can help calm your body."

Limit alcohol and caffeine. Both can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks.

Take deep breaths. Count to 10, slowly. Repeat if necessary. Channel the belief that Kris Bryant will hit another home run in the first inning.

"Anyone can do deep breathing exercises  -- they help calm your mind before coming back to the game," Hakimi said. "Find a private area and sit with your eyes closed. Breathe slowly for five to 10 minutes."

Talk about it. Tell people you're feeling overwhelmed, and let them know how they can help you.

"Watch the game with family and friends," Hakimi said. "This allows you the opportunity to express your feelings and share them with friends and family, which is helpful in managing stress."

Accept that you cannot control everything. Put your stress in perspective: Is it really as bad as you think? 

"Game 7 is looking very favorably for Chicago," Hakimi said. "The momentum and confidence they have built is so strong. But it's important for fans to remember that just making it to the 7th game is already a huge victory."

"Regardless of what the outcome is, you should be celebrating the Cubs and be very, very proud that we have made it to this point," he added.
