Coping strategies that may help
Breathing Exercises
Take a few moments to focus on your breath. Inhale deeply for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale for four to help calm your mind.
Grounding Techniques
Use your senses to connect with your surroundings. Notice five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.
Journaling
Write down your thoughts and feelings. Expressing yourself on paper can provide clarity and relief from anxiety.
Mindfulness Meditation
Practice being present in the moment. Sit quietly and focus on your breath or a calming mantra to reduce anxiety.
