Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? You're not alone, and there are simple ways to find relief.
Here are some gentle coping skills that can help:
•Take slow, deep breaths - focus on your breathing for just a few minutes
•Ground yourself by naming 5 things you can see, 4 you can hear, 3 you can touch
•Write down your worries to get them out of your head
•Go for a short walk or do light stretching
•Practice self-compassion - speak to yourself like you would a good friend
Remember, healing takes time and practice. These small steps can make a real difference in managing anxious moments.
