I like to go for walks as it helps me put my problems into perspective and helps me think straight.

Walking always helps me clear my mind too! There is something oddly relaxing about it that puts all thoughts in order 😮
@VickyP I know! It's my main coping strategy.
Going on a drive and listening to music gives me more focus and helps me manage my thoughts and anxieties
@mallory189
That sounds like a great way to relax and put your thoughts in order! I'm glad you have found something that helps you deal with Anxiety. :)
Poetry, writting rhymes, raps, and lyrics for songs
Painting while listening to music! It's easy to get lost in it and when you're done you'll have a nice creation too
Woodworking. I love the process of sanding, painting and staining wood. Walking and hiking when weather permits. Gardening!
Playing word games like scrabble. It helps that I can concentrate on building meaningful words from haphazard letters. Kind of like an analogy to anxiety. Just trying to make sense of every thought that is jumbled up so I can have clarity, but one thought at a time.
I just started making Mandalas, they are usually circular with many interesting paterns within and colors make a nice impact. My therapist taught me that we get a good feeling when we access the creative parts if our brains and she is right; I cannot worry while I'm busy creating😃🤔🤗
I like to dance, so blasting some music and dancing it out helps me!
Laying down or being around family.
Art, dance, and simply music. Music inspires me and calms me giving me peace.
