Coping strategies that may help
Deep Breathing
Focus on your breath by inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. This can help calm your nervous system.
Grounding Techniques
Use your senses to connect with the present moment by identifying five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Tense and relax each muscle group in your body, starting from your toes to your head. This can help alleviate physical tension and anxiety.
Mindfulness Meditation
Spend a few minutes focusing on the present moment without judgment. Apps or online resources can guide you through simple mindfulness exercises.
