Calm your anxiety in 2 minutes!
Progressive muscle relaxation: Tense and relax different muscle groups in your body, starting with your toes and working your way up to your head. This helps to release tension and promote relaxation.
Mindfulness meditation: Focus your attention on the present moment and your breath. This helps to clear your mind of anxious thoughts and bring you back to a sense of calm.
Sensory grounding: Engage your senses by focusing on something you can see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. This helps to ground you in the present moment and distract you from anxious thoughts.
Positive affirmations: Repeat positive affirmations to yourself, such as “I am calm” or “I am in control.” This can help to shift your thinking from negative to positive and reduce anxiety.
Physical activity: Get some exercise, even if it’s just for a few minutes. This can help to release endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
Distraction: Do something you enjoy, such as reading, listening to music, or spending time in nature. This can help to take your mind off of your worries and relax.
If you are experiencing severe anxiety, it is important to seek professional help. A therapist can teach you coping mechanisms and help you develop a treatment plan.
