I have a presentation next week and I'm feeling really anxious about it. How can I calm myself down?

Try taking some deep breaths, or going for a walk outside. If the thoughts of the presentation are still causing you stress, try writing out specific tasks or goals related to the presentation to give yourself a sense of accomplishment and control over the situation. Additionally, it may help to remind yourself that many people feel anxious before presenting, and that speaking in front of others is a skill like any other that can be improved with practice.
