Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but small, consistent habits can make a big difference. Here are five simple strategies I often recommend to my clients.
- Breathe Deeply: Slow, mindful breathing can help calm your nervous system.
- Stay Grounded: Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to connect with your senses.
- Set Tiny Goals: Break tasks into manageable steps to avoid feeling frozen.
- Limit Information Overload: Give yourself permission to take breaks from news and social media.
- Talk to Someone: Sharing your feelings with a counsellor or trusted friend can lighten the emotional load.
Remember — anxiety management is a practice, not a one-time fix. Be kind to yourself.
