Managing Anxiety
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any tips they could give me as to how to handle my anxiety when it comes in. Sometimes I get this overwhelming feeling and I find it hard to focus or clear my mind. Any help is greatly appreciated
I read this in a book recently….
When you’re in an anxiety attack, feel your jeans. Use your hands. Trace the seams, feel the buttons, every detail. Nothing exists except your jeans. It distracts your brain from the anxiety :)
Actually there is one which i read , its the 5-4-3-2-1
u have to think abt the following
5 things that u see at the moment around u
4 things that u can touch (let it b ur clothes , papers , texture of ur hair)
3 things that u can hear (white noise, construction noise)
2 things u can smell
1 thing u can taste.
Whenever u feel crippling anxiety or if u unable to take ur mind of the thing causing anxiety just practice these in mind. It will divert ur focus nd after a while u will have a coear headspace
