Coping strategies that may help
Breathing Exercises
Practice deep breathing by inhaling slowly through your nose for a count of four, holding for four, and exhaling through your mouth for six.
Grounding Techniques
Use your senses to connect with the present moment; identify five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.
Mindfulness Meditation
Set aside a few minutes each day to focus on your breath and observe your thoughts without judgment.
Physical Activity
Engaging in regular exercise, even a short walk, can help reduce anxiety and improve mood.
