Mindful Breathing

One of the easiest and effective ways to manage anxiety is through mindful breathing. It involves taking slow, deep breaths, and focusing on your breathing pattern along with your body. It can be done anytime, anywhere, and it only takes a few minutes. Mindful breathing helps our body to calm down and get re-centered, even in the midst of a stressful situation.

Journaling

Journaling is a great way to unwind and clear your mind. When you’re feeling anxious, getting everything out of your head and onto paper can help you organize your thoughts and release pent-up emotions. It can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and help you come up with solutions for the problems in your life.
