5 tips for coping with anxiety

If you experience occasional anxiety, quick techniques can help you regain control.

  • One effective method is to question your thought patterns, challenge fears, and reframe your perspective to reduce their impact.
  • Focused breathing exercises like inhaling for four counts and exhaling for 4 counts over five minutes can slow your heart rate and calm your mind.
  • Similarly, aromatherapy with scents like lavender or chamomile may provide soothing relief.
  • Light exercise such as walking or yoga can help shift focus away from anxious thoughts and improve mood.
  • Additionally, grounding techniques like the 333 rule—naming things you see, hear, and touch—or journaling can provide immediate emotional clarity and calm.

These strategies are simple yet effective tools to manage anxiety in the moment.
