When you feel anxious, you can try a simple technique called the butterfly hug. Here's how you can do it:
First, cross your arms so your hands touch your shoulders like butterfly wings.
Start by tapping your right hand on your left shoulder, then your left hand on your right shoulder.
Keep alternating tapping your shoulders gently while taking slow breaths in and out.
Imagine you are giving yourself a hug like a butterfly.
This calming hug can help you feel safe and relaxed when you're feeling anxious. Just remember to take deep breaths and focus on the gentle tapping to feel better.
